The band cancels several April and May performances
Gene Simmons and his band regret to announce the cancellation of several upcoming performances scheduled for April and May 2025.
Seventeen shows have been affected including April 3rd at the House of Blues in Anaheim, CA; April 8th at Muckleshoot Casino Events Center in Auburn, WA; April 10th at The Great Saltair in Magna, UT; April 26th at The Fillmore Miami Beach at Jackie Gleason Theater in Miami Beach, FL; and May 24th at House of Blues in Houston, among others. Nine dates in May and one in August are still scheduled.
Ticketmaster sent the following message to ticket holders on Thursday (Mar 20th):
“Unfortunately, the Event Organizer has had to cancel your event. You don’t need to do a thing. We’ll issue a refund to the original method of payment used at time of purchase, as soon as funds are received from the Event Organizer. It should appear on your account within 14-21 days.”
It’s unclear why the shows were canceled, but they are expected to be made up in 2026.
Simmons began touring with his solo band after Kiss called it quits at the end of 2023.
However, the band’s legacy lives on through various projects. On March 22nd, Kiss and Pophouse will celebrate the 50th anniversary of its iconic album Dressed To Kill with a never before heard audio tour through the streets of New York City.
As part of the partnership, Pophouse will create digital versions of Kiss that will allow the band and their unique personas to live forever. The project, already underway, was previewed at the final Kiss show in Madison Square Garden, New York on December 2, 2023, when, to the audience’s surprise, Kiss avatars closed the night with a rendition of “God Gave Rock And Roll To You,” resulting in international headlines. Through a magical combination of cutting-edge technology and unrivaled creativity, Pophouse will bring the full, authentic Kiss experience to existing and new fans for years to come. The avatar show is planned to launch in 2027.
