Gene Simmons continues to engage with music and cultural topics through live performances, podcast appearances, and new music projects, including the release of a documentary trailer featuring prominent rock figures and the announcement of a U.S. tour by Stanley Simmons, a band featuring his sons and Paul Stanley. He has also reflected on KISS's early days, defended legal immigration, and discussed political polarization in the U.S., while revisiting a previously unreleased 1973 album from his pre-KISS era. The Legends of Rock Expo, originally planned for 2025, has been rescheduled to May 2027.
