KISS has been performing worldwide the past few years for their “End of the Road” tour. The band originally announced the trek in 2019 with a planned end date of July 17, 2021.
The global situation delayed KISS’ original plans, and the tour has extended into this year. On Wednesday, KISS appeared on “The Howard Stern Show” where they announced “the last two shows of the band.” They are set to take place Dec. 1 and 2 in New York at Madison Square Garden.
“December 1 and 2 is Madison Square Garden,” said guitarist/vocalist Paul Stanley. “Those are the last two shows of the band. We’re finishing up where we started. I believe there are 17 shows before that in the States.”
“Some people have kind of snickered and said, ‘This ‘End Of The Road’ tour has gone on for years.’ Yeah, we lost two and a half years to C*VID,” Stanley added. “We would have been done already. Yeah, this is the end. When you come to see the show, it’s awesome. It’s the most high-tech show out there, and yet it’s clearly a kick-*ss rock and roll show. It’s not Vegas; it’s not something that loses its balls, so to speak. It’s everything KISS, just amped up and ramped up.”
Gene Simmons talked about shedding tears at the band’s final gig.
“Oh, I’m sure (I will),” he said. “I kid around a lot about ‘men don’t do that.’ I’m sure I’m gonna cry like a nine-year-old girl whose foot’s being stepped on. KISS was born on 23rd street. It’s only taken us 50 years to go play the final shows 10 blocks away on 33rd street, which is Madison Square Garden.”
Tickets will be available starting Monday, March 6 to the KISS Army, and additional pre-sales are set throughout the week before the general on-sale date of Friday, March 10. The last leg of KISS’ tour kicks off in October in Texas.
