Nick Simmons and Evan Stanley — sons of KISS legends Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley — have announced the first ever U.S. tour for their band Stanley Simmons.
The announcement came following the release of the band’s new single, Cellophane. The duo shared the exciting news directly with their fanbase.
“The first Stanley Simmons tour is this fall and we want to see all of you there, in real life,” the band said. “Presale Wednesday 10am local time, general sale Friday 10am local.”
Ticket presales went live Wednesday, June 24, at 10am local time. General sale opened Friday, June 26, at 10am local time.
The fall run is officially titled the “Dancing While the World Is Ending” tour. It supports the band’s debut full-length album of the same name, due out August 28, 2026. The trek kicks off September 14 in Dallas, TX at Three Links Deep Ellum and wraps up November 3 at the legendary Troubadour in West Hollywood, CA.
The tour spans a wide cross-section of the country, with stops in Houston, Austin, New Orleans, Birmingham, Nashville, Louisville, Charlotte, Washington D.C., Boston, New York, Philadelphia, Chicago, Denver, and Portland, among others. Fans coast to coast will have the chance to catch the duo live for the first time.
Cellophane, described as a psychedelic rock stomper, is one of several singles already released from the upcoming album. Other tracks include Body Down, Temporary Love, and the title track Dancing While the World Is Ending, which leans into a bouncy, garage rock sound that showcases the band’s range.
Stanley Simmons formed in early 2025 when Evan and Nick began writing together, quickly discovering a natural creative chemistry. Before embarking on this larger national run, the duo had already logged their first live dates on a short four-show California tour earlier in 2026. Their debut album is produced by Rob Cavallo, the acclaimed producer behind landmark records from Green Day, Fleetwood Mac, Paramore, and My Chemical Romance. The pairing signals serious ambitions for the young band.
