It's the end of the road for one of the world's most iconic rock bands of all time.
After over 45 years together, KISS has announced a final concert tour– aptly named The End of the Road World Tour– that kicks off at the end of January in Vancouver, BC. The tour will visit 40 North American arenas through April 13th, wrapping in Birmingham, Alabama.
We caught up with the band to talk about this "ultimate celebration" tour.
Check out our Tour Update video below:
On the significance of the tour:
"When you've got a 45 year career, we don't want to go out like some bands and do the entire first album. Boring! But can we do 'Heaven's On Fire,' 'Lick It Up,' 'Deuce,' 'Strutter,' you name it... we should be able to cover all the bases, so... this is really a chance for us to go out there and celebrate with fans who know what to expect who will get far beyond that, and also for people who go, 'I guess this is the last go around, maybe I should go.' And the people who go for the first time are gonna go, 'Why didn't I go sooner?' This is the ultimate KISS show."
-Paul Stanley
Best band on earth:
"We are the funnest band on earth, period. Best show on the planet; I look across the stage and I say, 'Wow, I'm in the greatest band on earth."
- Gene Simmons
Tickets are on sale today (November 2nd) and all ticket and touring info can be found on the band's website.
