Rock band KISS has announced additional dates for the last leg of their tour, the End of the Road Tour, marking the end of a legendary career that has spanned over four decades. The band plans to hang up their platform boots after two back-to-back shows at Madison Square Garden in New York at the end of 2023. Before concluding with a tremendous show in New York City, the band will make stops in the recently announced cities of Detroit, Nashville, St. Louis, and Ft. Worth.
The band had already hinted at their last tour back in 2018 and was ready to announce it in 2019, but the COVID-19 pandemic forced them to postpone their plans. Now, with the pandemic slowly receding and live concerts making a comeback, KISS is ready to bid farewell to their loyal fans.
KISS said in a press release:
“KISS was born in New York City. On 23rd Street. Half a century ago. It will be a privilege and honor to finish touring at Madison Square Garden, 10 blocks and 50 years from where we first started
Tickets for the shows go on sale to the general public on April 7 via Ticketmaster, with a Live Nation pre-sale beginning April 6.
Tickets for sold-out shows or preferred seats can be purchased via StubHub, where your order is 100% guaranteed through Stubhub’s FanProtect program.
