Gene Simmons will perform with his band, the Gene Simmons Band, who are 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."

"This is an opportunity for everyone to rub elbows with musicians from their favorite rock bands. The kind of access most of us can only dream of!" says David Heynen, promoter and owner of Fanboy Expo. Tickets and VIP experiences are now available here.
