KISS' Gene Simmons is set to host the Legends of Rock Expo, scheduled to take place September 25 through 27 at Westgate Las Vegas Resort & Casino.
The event will feature performances by some of the greatest icons and legends in rock music, including Black Sabbath's Geezer Butler, The Police's Stewart Copeland, and The Kinks' Dave Davies.
Eric Singer and Tommy Thayer of KISS and Carmine Appice, Vinnie Appice, Graham Bonnet, actor James Debello, David Ellefson (formerly of Megadeth), Lita Ford, actor Edward Furlong, Bruce Kulick (formerly of Kiss), John Moyer, Nelson, Stephen Pearcy (Ratt), Saving Abel, and Jerry Scheff (Elvis Presley) are also scheduled to perform at the Expo.
Gene Simmons will perform with his band, the Gene Simmons Band, which is headlining the event.
"It's loose, spontaneous, and back to basics," he says of recent shows with the band. "I've brought fans to join us onstage from the audience who think they can play guitar. And somebody could yell out, 'Why don't you play 'Sunshine of Your Love,' and I'll turn to the band and say, 'What key?' It's as much fun as I can think of with my pants on."
