Vanilla Fudge, Dio and Ratt stars will also take part in the weekend festivities.

A California mini-tour precedes their debut album, out this summer.

The dates will take place after Kiss' second annual Las Vegas fan event.

"The great thing about being an icon is you can stay young forever," Paul Stanley says.

Upcoming West Coast shows follow a handful of February dates.

"Dancing While the World is Ending" sounds quite different than their debut "Body Down."

Kiss star can't relate to their music, adding: "I don't come from the ghetto."

Simmons and Paul Stanley will also open a new restaurant in Detroit this week.

The grass isn't always greener -- and these rockers learned that the hard way.

The Kiss star has repeatedly expressed his dislike for the Rock Hall's induction of hip-hop legends.

"He talks about things that he doesn't know about," Criss said of his former bandmate.

"The mythology of 'Beth' is exactly that: mythology," he said.
