Following an unfortunate weather-related interruption during his initial attempt, Gene Simmons successfully kicked off the first complete performance of his highly anticipated 2025 solo tour on Saturday evening in Beaver Dam, Kentucky. This concert marked a significant moment for fans eager to experience his unique blend of music.

The previous night’s show near Atlanta was cut short after only six songs due to inclement weather conditions. However, Simmons and his talented band delivered a full performance the following evening, showcasing a dynamic setlist that included beloved Kiss classics alongside Van Halen and Led Zeppelin covers, plus other exciting surprises that delighted attendees.

Simmons faced some criticism for introducing a $12,495 “roadie for a day” fan experience during this tour, which allows one lucky fan to accompany him and his crew throughout the day as they prepare for the concert. This exclusive opportunity has sparked discussions among fans regarding its value.

“This is not for everyone, and it certainly isn’t inexpensive,” Simmons clarified in an interview with WIVB in Buffalo, attributing part of the high cost to insurance requirements. “The reality is that we live in a different world now compared to when I was growing up, where even a minor injury, like a papercut, can lead to lawsuits.”

The current schedule for Simmons’ tour is set to conclude on May 15 at the renowned Fallsview Casino in Niagara Falls. Fans can find comprehensive information regarding shows, ticket availability, and details about the paid roadie experience on his official website.

This coming November, Simmons will briefly reunite with his Kiss bandmates for a special unmasked performance during the exciting weekend-long Kiss Army Storms Las Vegas event, promising an unforgettable experience for all attendees.
