Gene Simmons has announced details of his new career spanning box set, and the Kiss icon plans a novel way in getting it to fans willing to fork out between $2,000 and $50,000 to get one. Releasing the 150 song 'The Vault', Simmons will tour the world in 2018, and the trek will see the singer personally deliver the set to purchasers. 

Celebrating 50 years in rock (1966-2016), the multi-hyphenate entrepreneur, co-founder and front man of America’s number one gold record award-winning group of all time, and one of the most recognised performers in the world, today announced the unprecedented release of Gene Simmons: The Vault Experience, in partnership with Rhino Entertainment.

Gene Simmons: The Vault Experience commemorates and celebrates Simmons’ notorious five-decade journey as a rock icon, offering fans around the world a limited-edition collectable ‘Vault’ with contents that offer a unique look into The Demon’s colorful life, including never-before-released songs, photos, stories and collectible items. Additionally, every 'Vault' will be personally delivered to each fan by Simmons himself.

Gene Simmons: The Vault Experience begins with an initial Skype call from Simmons to the fan, followed by the personal delivery of a numbered, limited-edition, 17” x 25” 38-pound VAULT, during Simmons’ Vault World Tour set to take place January 2018 through December 2018.

Priced at $2,000 - each unique Vault includes:
* 150 never-before-released tracks written and performed by Simmons, and featuring notable rock and roll artists, including members of KISS past and present
* Packaged in a massive 12” x 12” x 6” leather-bound commemorative book containing dozens of never-before-seen images of Simmons throughout his 50-year career
* These unreleased tracks are exclusive to THE VAULT and will not be available in other physical or digital configurations
* Limited-edition collectibles including a Gene Simmons non-makeup action figure and an “In Gene We Trust” oversized medallion
* A one-of-a-kind, hand-selected original piece of memorabilia from Gene’s personal collection

During the one-on-one meet and greets with the delivery of the Vaults, Simmons will travel around the world, to a designated location to take photos and video with the fan and a guest, and sign autographs.  In addition to the private meeting, fans will receive a Vault Pre-Pack* and join a small group of other fans for 'Songs and Stories' from The Vault and a Q&A with Simmons. Within a month of purchase, fans will also receive via mail a Vault Pre-Pack featuring a USB including the first track 'Are You Ready', a signed golden ticket, exclusive t-shirt, and a laminate. Ordering by December 5  will ensure delivery of the 'Vault' Pre-Pack by December 23, just in time for holiday gift giving.

 Says Simmons; “Any artist can release a boxed set, and never really thank the fans for their support. I want to celebrate my 50th anniversary in rock WITH the fans, and I have had a blast putting something really special together for them. Gene Simmons: The Vault Experience gives fans something truly unique that they can keep forever, and it gives me a chance to personally thank them for all of their support over the years.”

President of Rhino Entertainment, Mark Pinkus says; “What Gene and Rhino have put together with The Vault Experience is truly unprecedented. We have taken the idea of a boxed set to a completely different level. As a card-carrying member of the Kiss Army from a young age, I’m honored to be working with Gene on such an exciting and innovative project. His fans are going to be absolutely blown away by The Vault Experience."  

For the ultimate fan, two additional VAULT Experiences are available:
The Executive Producers Experience - $25,000
Kicking off in New York on September 15, the Executive Producer’s Experience will be available in cities around the world until November 2017, and is the quintessential experience for the devoted fan, plus a guest. The Executive Producer’s experience includes an initial SKYPE call with Simmons; a one-hour private studio preview with Simmons, offering the opportunity to listen to tracks before they are released; a distinguished Executive Producer credit on every VAULT; a photo, video and autograph opportunity with Gene; one of the first 500 limited-edition numbered VAULTs; and a VAULT Pre-Pack*

The Home Experience** - $50,000
Launching December 2017 in the U.S. and in cities around the world, the Home Experience includes a personal delivery of THE VAULT to the fan’s home by Simmons himself; one of the first 300 limited-edition numbered VAULTs; two hours with Simmons at the fan’s home (or location of their choice) for a special event with up to 25 friends and family; photos, videos and autographs; an intimate “Songs & Stories” playback session and Q&A with Gene; and a VAULT Pre-Pack* for all guests in attendance.
