Kiss icon Gene Simmons is expanding his 2026 solo touring itinerary, announcing a new run of summer dates across the United States. For these upcoming shows, the legendary bassist and vocalist will be joined by a powerhouse lineup of 1980s hard rock veterans, including Sebastian Bach, Lita Ford, and Quiet Riot.
The brief but highly anticipated July trek will span across California and Nevada. The three-show run commences on July 17 in Fresno, California, before heading to Murphys on July 18. The mini-tour will conclude the following night, July 19, in Stateline, Nevada. Tickets for all three newly announced performances are currently on sale.
These summer dates add to an already active 2026 schedule for Gene Simmons. The frontman has been consistently balancing his solo band commitments with exclusive casino performances and special cruise appearances, such as his recent stint on the Rock Legends Cruise.
During a recent solo performance in February at the L’Auberge Casino Resort in Lake Charles, Louisiana, Gene Simmons surprised attendees by digging deep into the Kiss catalog. His solo band performed “Strange Ways” and “Rocket Ride“—two classic tracks closely associated with late Kiss guitarist Ace Frehley—for the very first time.
