Gene Simmons with Special Guest Slaughter Coming to AVA Amphitheater
Gene Simmons is a world-renowned rock icon and co-founder of KISS, the RIAA's #1 gold record award-winning group of all time. A formidable serial entrepreneur, he transformed KISS into a global merchandising powerhouse with over 5,000 licensed products generating more revenue from trademark deals than any other band in music history.
His career is defined by historic honors, including the 2025 Kennedy Center Honors, induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame (2014), and the Songwriters Hall of Fame Class of 2026. A leading advocate for artist rights, Simmons has partnered with SoundExchange and recently testified before the U.S. Senate to champion the American Music Fairness Act (AMFA), working to close the "radio loophole" and ensure fair compensation for all recording artists.
Beyond the stage, Simmons' diverse business empire includes the international Rock & Brews restaurant chain, the MoneyBag spirits line, and a career as a New York Times bestselling author. A dedicated philanthropist, he has raised millions for veterans and children's health, most recently receiving the 2025 World Smile Award from Operation Smile.
Joining Simmons for this special Tucson date is Slaughter, the iconic hard rock band known for arena anthems that defined a generation of rock fans.
AVA Amphitheater, located at Casino Del Sol Resort in Tucson, is a premier open-air venue with seating for up to 5,000 guests and a state-of-the-art sound system delivering a high-energy concert experience under the desert sky.
