ROCKFORD, Ill. (WTVO) — Gene Simmons, formerly of KISS, is set to perform at Rockford’s Hard Rock Casino in May.
The Gene Simmons Band will take the stage on Sunday, May 18th at 7 p.m.
The band consists of Simmons, Brent Woods (Wildside, Sebastian Bach, Vince Neil), Zach Throne (Corey Taylor), and Brian Tichy (Lynch Mob, Whitesnake, Billy Idol).
“We get a chance to play songs KISS has never played and some songs have never been recorded. So it’s a very exciting event,” Simmons told Bass Magazine.
KISS held the final two concerts of its “End of the Road” tour in Madison Square Garden in New York City in December of 2023.
Tickets go on sale January 10th at 10 a.m. on Ticketmaster and at the Hard Rock Live box office.
Simmons was in the stateline area in September 2022 to launch his “MoneyBag Vodka” at Monroe, Wisconsin’s historic Minhas Brewery.
