GENE SIMMONS’s ‘Legends Of Rock Expo’ Rescheduled For May 2027
Gene Simmons's "Legends Of Rock Expo" has been postponed from its original September 2026 dates to 14–16 May 2027, with the event still taking place at the Westgate Las Vegas Resort & Casino. Organisers cited a major scheduling conflict as the reason for the delay, saying the extra time would allow them to expand the event and refine its celebrity lineup. The change matters to fans and vendors who had already booked, as the announcement affects travel and attendance plans nearly a year in advance.
Producers confirmed that all previously purchased tickets and vendor booths will automatically transfer to the new dates, meaning no action is required from ticket holders, though those unable to attend in 2027 can contact the organisers directly for assistance. The expo, first announced earlier this year, was set to feature Simmons alongside rock figures including Geezer Butler of Black Sabbath, Stewart Copeland of The Police, Dave Davies of The Kinks, and KISS bandmates Eric Singer and Tommy Thayer, among a wider list of musicians and actors. Simmons was also due to perform with his own group, the Gene Simmons Band. Further details are available at legendsofrockexpo.com.
In short
- Gene Simmons's Legends Of Rock Expo pushed back to May 2027
- Same Las Vegas venue; tickets and booths transfer automatically
- Delay blamed on scheduling conflict, promises bigger lineup

The Legends Of Rock Expo is a new music event celebrating rock history, bringing together legendary musicians and industry figures. Created by Gene Simmons, bassist of rock band Kiss, it is designed to showcase influential artists from across rock music's heritage.
The expo features performers including members of Black Sabbath, The Police, The Kinks, and Kiss itself, alongside other significant musicians and entertainers from rock culture.
