KISS are set to play their final shows ever this fall, concluding their ongoing “End of the Road” farewell tour (get tickets here).
We’ve heard this before. The rock legends have billed previous tours as their last, such as the “Farewell Tour” in 2000/2001 (and last to feature guitarist Ace Frehley). But this time, it seems definite, as KISS have called these dates their “absolute final shows.”
KISS’ current touring lineup includes founding members Paul Stanley and Gene Simmons alongside drummer Eric Singer and guitarist Tommy Thayer.
As for a final reunion with the other founding members — Frehley and drummer Peter Criss — Stanley’s recent comment that the original band would sound more like “PISS” than KISS suggests that it’s unlikely to happen.
On the other hand, Simmons has hinted that a different iteration of KISS could continue in some form with “four deserving 20-year-olds sticking the makeup back on.” Still, these final tour dates will (likely) be your last chance to see KISS featuring Stanley and Simmons.
What Is KISS’ Final Tour?
KISS’ “End of the Road” farewell tour has spanned multiple continents around the world since kicking off in 2019.
Following a run of South American and UK/European dates this spring and summer, the last-ever shows will occur in North America this fall. Preceded by a one-off date September 1st in Crandon, Wisconsin, the fall outing properly kicks off on October 19th in Cincinnati, Ohio. From there, the route moves north via California for two shows — including a notable appearance at the Hollywood Bowl on November 3rd — and into Canada, where KISS will play nine shows in November. Then, they’ll head back down to the States for the remaining concerts, culminating with a two-night stand at Madison Square Garden in New York City — the band’s city of origin — on December 1st and 2nd.
