KISS army, unite! Gene Simmons is returning to Australia for solo shows in 2018
This. Is. Wild.
The solo tour will kick off in Adelaide on 1 February 2018, before stopping in Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane.
We�re expecting the KISS army out in force for this one, as the rock �n� roll legend takes to the stage with his touring band.
Talking about the shows, Gene Simmons said today, �Doing these smaller concert halls, which hold a thousand to three thousand people, means they get filled up by real die hard fans. They don�t want to hear the same-old, same-old. They want to hear nuggets, as they say. It�s a hoot for me because I�ve never really had a chance to do this stuff live. It�s been a lot of fun.�
With that, fans can expect to hear a different setlist from the music icon each night, with plenty of KISS gems thrown in for good measure.
The Gene Simmons band includes Ryan Cook (guitar/vocals), Jeremy Asbrock (guitar/vocals), and Phil Shouse (guitar/vocals), from Nashville�s The Rock N Roll Residency and ex Motley Crue vocalist John Corabi�s solo band. Brent Fitz will be adding to the mayhem on drums, who completes the monster lineup that�s guaranteed to deliver a thrilling live show in Feb.
Gene will also kick off the tour with the release of The Vault; �a deeply personal soundtrack to his life, condensed into a 50-year time capsule (1966 � 2016)�. The Vault features 150 recordings from notable rock �n� roll artists including his KISS band mates.
