KISS Announces Final Dates of ‘End of the Road’ Farewell Tour

Written by Logan Phillips on March 2, 2023

In January 2019, Kiss launched the End of the Road Tour, but in 2020 due to the coronavirus pandemic, the band put the tour on hold. Fortunately in the summer of 2021, the band resumed the tour, and by June of 2022 The face-painted rockers had already performed hundreds of shows on the tour, but Gene Simmons wanted to add another 100 dates to the itinerary.

On March 1, 2023, Kiss announced that they will conclude their End of the Road farewell tour with two December 2023 shows at New York City’s Madison Square Garden. The final shows will be just shy of 51 years since they played their first show on Jan. 30, 1973, at the Popcorn Club in Queens. The band announced another 17 new North American shows, beginning on Oct. 29 in Austin, Texas.

“We don’t know [when the tour will end]. We’ve never retired before. This is our first time,” Simmons stated. “It’s like painting a painting or writing a book. When somebody says, ‘When is it gonna be finished?’ You’re in the middle of it; you don’t know.” He added, “The crew is happy. Everybody’s happy. So we’ve decided to add another 100 cities before we stop. I don’t know how long that’s gonna take.”

Paul Stanley has even reaffirmed Simmons’s remarks. “We’re far from done. I’d like to say that this is the end of the road, but they keep paving more road.” He added “The only people that seem to bother are the people who hate us. Quite honestly, they’ve never mattered and they still don’t. The people who want to see us are thrilled. The people who wish we’d go away are going to have to wait. And in one form or another, we’re never gonna go.”

At this time it appears that KISS still has a lot of rockin’ to do before they call it quits. As of right now, the final show will be on Dec. 02, 2023. but we know Gene has changed his mind about touring before.
