Gene Simmons Band Is Coming To The Quad Cities
One of the biggest names ever in rock and roll is coming to the Rust Belt, and you're gonna flip.
Gene Simmons is a world-renowned rock icon and co-founder of KISS, the RIAA's #1 gold record award-winning group. A formidable serial entrepreneur, he transformed KISS into a global merchandising powerhouse with over 5,000 licensed products.
His career is defined by historic honors, including the 2025 Kennedy Center Honors, induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, and the Songwriters Hall of Fame Class of 2026. A leading advocate for artist rights, Simmons is an integral partner with SoundExchange, recently championing the American Music Fairness Act (AMFA) in Washington, D.C., to ensure fair compensation for all performers.
His diverse business empire includes the Rock & Brews restaurant chain and the MoneyBag spirits line. A dedicated philanthropist and recipient of the 2025 World Smile Award, Simmons continues to bridge the worlds of entertainment and global industry, personifying the modern self-made mogul.
