Former KISS guitarist Ace Frehley has announced plans to perform live shows in August.
Tickets for an August 7 show at the Robins Theatre in Warren, Ohio, are on sale sale. Frehley’s Facebook page also lists an August 6 date at Jergels in Warrendale, Pennsylvania, with three more concerts scheduled for the fall.
Almost all concerts and large gatherings have been banned across the U.S. since mid-March due to the COVID-19 pandemic. However, certain states have started to ease restrictions to boost the struggling economy.
The Robins Theatre Facebook page lists the safety precautions being taken for the concert.
“After an unplanned break, the Robins Theatre is preparing to reopen in compliance with the Responsible RestartOhio guidelines as set forth by the Ohio Department of Health,” it notes.
“As we move forward, the safety of those who enter the facility is at the forefront of our efforts. As you may already know our restrooms are completely touch-less. Additionally, an electrostatic deep cleaning of the entire theater will be performed before we open, we have installed plexiglass at the concession area as well as hand-sanitizing stations at the entrance of the theater and all of our restrooms.”
“Seating will be within the social distancing requirement. Ushers and concession workers will be required to wear protective masks, as well as gloves, to ensure the safety of all of our patrons. A UV cleaning will be performed in addition to our conventional cleaning after each show. A free face mask will be provided to those who want one.”
Last week, Frehley also revealed that he has started to work on a new studio album, which will be his first collection of original material since 2018’s Spaceman.
