Just last week, Ace announced who will be joining him on stage and even offered a few surprises. Richie Scarlet will perform rhythm guitar and vocal duties. Ritchie played rhythm guitar on Ace’s Trouble Walking album and also toured with Ace in the mid 80s and early 90s.
Chris Wyse, on bass and vocals, has played bass in The Cult since 2006. He also previously recording with Ozzy Osbourne and can be heard on select tracks on Space Invader. Scott Coogan will play drums in the touring lineup, and is a Frehley touring band veteran who was also a member of Nikki Sixx’s Brides of Destruction recording and touring band in 2004. “I can’t wait to hit the road again with this new lineup,” says Frehley. “Let there be rock!”
Ace Frehley made history with Space Invader, which debuted a at #9 on the Top 200 Chart. The LP scored the highest charting position of any KISS solo album ever, and marks Frehley’s first return to the Top 10 since KISS’s 1998 Psycho Circus reunion album.

Even though I already have the cd, I’d like to have the vinyl version to. I like the Space Invader album cover and it be cool to have the LP version of that. Plus, I’m old and still like listening to vinyl albums every once in a while.
going to have to make the trip to New Jersey….4 hr ride from here not so bad.
About the same for me to make the Durham show….
All east coast dates. What about the rest of the USA?
It says “first leg”. I’m sure he’ll get around to it.
Sugar Loaf???! Dudes, i know this site gets replies from all over the states and internationally, and you may not know Sugar Loaf. I do. It’s farm country. This is insane. At least you can get a killer Rueben sandwich at The Barnsider down the road right before you witness scarlet crap all over the place. Hopefully he won’t hit a cow crossing the road after the gig.
I live about 5 miles away from Sugar Loaf so it is ok with me!! This place he is playing was bought by the Poughkeepsie civic center and they are getting a few rock acts. They had Tom Keifer a few weeks ago and the weekend before Ace is Lou Gramm.
From sold out arenas to free shows in casinos.
…pretty much like Kiss going from stadiums during the reunion to sheds with stages of a third the size …
What “free” shows? They aren’t free, obviously you’ve never been to a casino, moron.
Those who call other people morons on websites like this one here are themselves what they call others to be …
Actually then, I’d like the measurements. You’re obviously a troll. The shed stages are quite large. And they only did a couple stadiums on the reunion tour, one being the first show. You probably don’t even play guitar.
Sory to tell you “Pete”, I have played stages/venues the size of what you Americans call “sheds” – have YOU? Large is a relative term, I was talking about relations not about abolute measurements, or is it too hard for you to notice that? The stage on the reunion tours in stadiums and other sorts of arenas were a lot bigger. But I guess you cannot compare that because you have never experienced it first-handed, so do not call people here moron, troll whatever since you disqualifiy yourself just by having to use these derogative terms repeatedly to get your “argument” across, poor fellow. Guess you are just in the Gene-and-Paul-camp believing in the crap they have been feeding the audience for years now. Kiss is on the decline, though still doing OK, relatively speaking again, at least when they co-headline. Which they did not need to do on the reunion tours, though they filled stadiums and the like. To cover that up is truly delusional.
You’re obviously a moron, they played Tiger stadium to open up the reunion tour but the rest of the shows were arenas or outside amphitheaters. The same venues ALL OTHER ROCK ACTS ARE PLAYING RIGHT NOW. When have you ever seen a Stadium only tour? Get a life Guitarslinger, you sound as delusional as Ace is. He’d be so luck to get 10% of the total turnout Kiss got on there last tour.
I saw U2’s 360 tour – all stadiums – did you see that? Moron yourself, sir. Get your facts traight before you talk BS.
