Gene Simmons Cancels 17 Solo Shows, KISS Announces Las Vegas Show

Gene Simmons has canceled more than half of his upcoming solo tour dates, with no reason provided for why the shows will no longer be taking place. The April and May dates of the tour will be rescheduled for early 2026, according to Christina Vitaglano, who runs Simmons’ VIP fan experience packages, but ticketholders are being refunded at the point of purchase.

Simmons was offering fans the chance to be his roadie for the price of $12,495, providing them with the ultimate backstage opportunity of joining the crew. For fans who purchased tickets for the roadie experience, they will have the option of switching to a remaining available date or be refunded at point of purchase.

In addition to the cancellation of Simmons’ upcoming dates, KISS announced it will perform a one-off in Las Vegas from Nov. 14 to 16 at Virgin Hotels Las Vegas. The show will find KISS playing makeup-free as part of the event, and marks KISS’ first show since December 2023 when they wrapped up their “End Of The Road” farewell tour at New York City’s Madison Square Garden.

Simmons is booked by International Talent Booking’s Rod MacSween.
