The legendary rock band Kiss has revealed North American tour dates for their farewell tour, “End of the Road.”
Last month, Kiss announced their final trek on NBC’s America’s Got Talent, noting that updates would be coming soon.
“LIVE AND CRUSHING IT tonight was the greatest way to announce the END OF THE ROAD,” singer/guitarist Paul Stanley wrote on Twitter. “This last tour will be our BIGGEST & MOST EXPLOSIVE show ever to thank you all and say goodbye. We will make every night unforgettable for everyone. My gratitude to all.”
Kiss will kick-off the jaunt in Vancouver, British Columbia on January 31, 2019. Shows will follow in cities like Sacramento, Memphis, Omaha, Cleveland, New York, Atlanta, and Tampa before wrapping-up in Birmingham, Alabama on April 13. The final tour will feature original members Stanley and Gene Simmons, as well as new members Tommy Thayer and Eric Singer.
“All that we have built and all that we have conquered over the past four decades could never have happened without the millions of people worldwide who’ve filled clubs, arenas and stadiums over those years,” Kiss said in a statement. “This will be the ultimate celebration for those who’ve seen us and a last chance for those who haven’t. Kiss Army, we’re saying goodbye on our final tour with our biggest show yet and we’ll go out the same way we came in. … Unapologetic and unstoppable.”
According to an interview with Imperiumi, Simmons said that although it’s possible former members will make guest appearances on tour, nothing is set in stone. However, he noted that if they do come to a show, they won’t be allowed to wear makeup because “[they’ve] been out of the band 20 years. It’s not going to happen.” Stanley also told Rolling Stone that new music isn’t really expected.
“I think everything we’ve done so far speaks volumes, and it’s enough of a legacy,” Stanley said.
The upcoming trek will come 19 years after Kiss originally announced their farewell tour in 2000. More international dates are expected soon. Check out the current full rundown below.
