Not only are KISS fans rocking out on the band’s current KISS Kruise, they’re also getting hit with lots of big news from the band. The latest bit of info from the ship is the announcement of more than 70 dates and cities that the Rock & Roll Hall of Famers will play in 2020 as part of their ongoing “End of the Road” farewell tour.
Earlier, KISS had announced that the tour’s final show would take place on July 21st, 2021 in New York City. Now, Ultimate Classic Rock reports that a new run of 2020 shows were listed on screens throughout the ship. All told, more than 70 shows were revealed for 2020, including the dates for next year’s KISS Kruise.
The newly unveiled dates begin with a February 1st show in Manchester, New Hampshire, and run through an October 3rd concert in Ft. Worth. In between, they’ll play shows across North America, South America, and Europe. They’ll then set sail on the 10th edition of the Kiss Kruise, taking place October 30th through November 4th.
