About a month ago, the news began to circulate when the legendary KISS performed on the Season Finale of “America’s Got Talent” and just after the live performance clip, Paul Stanley lined out that the band was indeed heading out on the road for a Farewell Tour. Of course, many of my fellow media outlets and I rushed to post the news and when the more Official Press Release came out we had to do so once more. Now, the dates and venues for the “End Of The Road” World Tour are here and you can check out which cities will be your best bet to see them. Read on.

The Press Release:
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 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 presales.

KISS Meet & Greet Experiences will be available beginning Tuesday, October 30th at 10am local time through kissonline.com. KISS Army fan club presales will begin Wednesday October 31st at 10 am local time also through www.kissonline.com. Citi is the official presale credit card for the End of the Road World Tour. As such, Citicardmembers will have access to purchase U.S. presale tickets beginning Wednesday, October 31 at 12:00pm local time until Thursday, November 1 at 10:00pm local time through Citi’s Private Pass program.

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.

PiercingMetal Thoughts: What can I say about this that I haven’t already lined out in one of the preceding announcements about the bands farewell run? The music of KISS has been a vital part of my life for so many years its not funny and while I will miss their being something that I can see when they come around once this tour has run its course, it is indeed time for the band to say some goodbyes and let the torch be held up by a hopefully worthy successor. I am sure that all of the members of the KISS Army can count on live video and audio releases from this last go round and by hook or by crook I will be at MSG for that final show for our region. One has to wonder if additional NYC or the surrounding region dates will be added because no offense intended, I can hardly think that KISS ends their career in any locality that isn’t NYC or even Detroit. Even though we still have plenty of time before these shows commence, I thank Paul Stanley, Gene Simmons, Tommy Thayer and Eric Singer for the music and I sure don’t forget all of the earliest works and influence from Ace Frehley, Peter Criss, Bruce Kulick, Vinnie Vincent and the late great Eric Carr and Mark St. John. What do you readers think about this news and these dates? Will you be participating? Chime in down in the comments section below and let me know what you think about this news from The Hottest Band In The World……KISS!!!!
