Gene Simmons has added more shows to his 2025 solo band tour.The Kiss rocker initially began unveiling dates at the end of 2024. He’s steadily added to his schedule since then, and what began as a spattering of appearances is now a 25-date tour. The trek kicks off April 3 in Anaheim, California and now runs through the end of May, culminating with a performance in Houston.Simmons’ solo band features a collection of rock veterans, including guitarist Brent Woods (Sebastian Bach, Vince Neil), guitarist Jason Walker and drummer Brian Tichy (Whitesnake, Billy Idol).While Simmons’ solo band shows still lean heavily into the Kiss catalog, they are a far cry from the theatrical nature of the bassist’s makeup-clad group. In an appearance on the Steve-O’s Wild Ride podcast, Simmons noted that his solo shows also offer a financial windfall.READ MORE: Kiss Band Member Power Rankings“I designed a business model that is just semi-genius. I show up with my guitar pick. That’s it. There’s no manager, no roadies, no trucks, no equipment. Everything is provided by the promoter,” the rocker explained. “The flights, the hotels, all the amplifiers, the drums, everything is rented locally. That’s the promoter’s cost, and whatever six-figure or more amount there is, I pocket. And I literally make more money per gig being Gene Simmons and the Gene Simmons Band than I did in Kiss — not counting the ancillaries and all that — because you don’t have a 60-man crew, three double deckers, private jet that’s on call seven days a week and 20 to 24 tractor trailers.”Gene Simmons Band 2025 Tour DatesApril 3 – Anaheim, CA @ House of BluesApril 4 – Temecula, CA @ Pechanga Resort CasinoApril 5 – Rohnert Park, CA @ The Event at Graton Resort & CasinoApril 8 – Auburn, WA @ Muckleshoot Casino ResortApril 10 – Magna, UT @ The Great SaltairApril 11 – Denver, CO @ Paramount TheatreApril 25 – Clearwater, FL @ Ruth Eckerd HallApril 26 – Miami Beach, FL @ FillmoreApril 28 – Tallahassee, FL @ The MoonApril 29 – Jacksonville, FL @ Florida TheaterApril 30 – Orlando, FL @ Hard Rock LiveMay 3 – Beaver Dam, KY @ Beaver Dam AmphitheaterMay 5 – Red Bank, NJ @ BasieMay 6 – Montclair, NJ @ WellmontMay 8 – Bethlehem, PA @ Wind Creek CasinoMay 9 – Huntington, NY @ The ParamountMay 11 – Uncasville, CT @ Mohegan Sun ArenaMay 14 – Northfield, OH @ MGMMay 15 – Niagara Falls, ON @ Fallsview CasinoMay 17 – Hammond, IN @ The HorseshoeMay 18 – Rockford, IL @ Hard RockMay 20 – Nashville, IN @ Brown County Music CenterMay 22 – Dallas, TX @ House of BluesMay 23 – San Antonio, TX @ Tobin CenterMay 24 – Houston, TX @ House of BluesKiss Solo Albums Ranked Worst to Best Counting down solo albums released by various members of Kiss.Gallery Credit: Matthew Wilkening
