October 31, 2018, 6 years ago
After an epic and storied 45 year career that launched an era of rock n roll legends, KISS announced that they will launch their final tour ever in 2019, appropriately named, End Of The Road. The band talk about the tour in this new video from Associated Press:
Last night, Tuesday, October 30th, KISS was the musical guest on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. Watch the band perform their classic, "Love Gun", below:
The initial announcement was made a month ago on NBC’s America’s Got Talent which sent the internet into overdrive with fans hoping their city would get one final KISS show. The band announced today the first set of dates and cities in North America, produced by Live Nation. International markets were also announced simultaneously today. Tour itinerary detailed below; KISS will be offering VIP experiences and special KISS Army fan pre-sales.
KISS Meet & Greet Experiences went on sale yesterday. KISS Army fan club pre-sales will begin today, Wednesday, October 31st at 10 AM, local time also through kissonline.com. Tickets to the general public will go on sale starting Friday, November 2nd at 10 AM, local time at LiveNation.com.
Known for their trademark larger-than-life blistering performances, KISS has proven for decades why they are hands down the most iconic live show in rock n roll. The Rock & Roll Hall of Famers who have sold more than 100 million albums worldwide have said this tour is devoted to the millions of KISS Army fans.
"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. 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," said KISS.
