Gene Simmons' 2025 US solo tour with the Gene Simmons Band keeps getting longer and longer. What began as a five-date run has expanded into 19, with new dates added in Anaheim, CA, Magna, UT, and Rockford, IL.

In a recent interview with Billboard, the former KISS bassist-singer admitted that he makes more money per show touring solo than he did with KISS at their prime.

“The local promoters provide the back line, and we just get up there and play,” He explained, noting that in addition to himself, his solo entourage consisted of three band members and two crew members.

“[N]o managers, no private jets, no 20 tractor trailers, no 60-man crew, no huge shows…" he pointed out. "The pyro alone for every KISS show was $10,000, sometimes $50,000 if you go outdoors. Enormous, enormous costs for doing that.”

His shows with the Gene Simmons Band are very different than his days with KISS. “It’s almost as if you decided to rent some amps in a garage and plug in, and then everybody from the neighborhood comes in…" he said. "It’s very informal and a lot of fun.”
