Kiss band members, from left, Tommy Thayer, Gene Simmons, Eric Singer and Paul Stanley participate in the ceremonial lighting of the Empire State Building on Thursday in New York.

In the 50 years since Kiss first kicked and thrashed its way onto the New York rock scene, the band has given the world sing-and-shout-along hits like "Detroit Rock City," "Crazy Crazy Nights" and "Beth," and live performances replete with blood-spattering, fire-breathing, pyrotechnics and gobs of cartoonish stage makeup.

"Their schtick lifted them up to the absolute top," music writer Joel Selvin , the author of numerous books about rock musicians including Linda Ronstadt, the Grateful Dead and Sly and the Family Stone, told NPR.

On Saturday, the memorable stagecraft that made Kiss one of the biggest selling hard rock bands in the world will come to an end, as its members perform what they are touting as their final show of their aptly titled, four-year-long "End of the Road World Tour" — at Madison Square Garden in New York. The concert will be available to watch live on Pay-Per-View .

"It has nothing to do with personalities in the band or tensions or a difference of opinion or musicality. It's purely practical," said Kiss co-founder, rhythm guitarist and vocalist Paul Stanley in an interview with the music publication Ultimate Classic Rock of the band's reasons for bringing five decades of Kiss to an end. "You can play beat the clock, but ultimately the clock wins."

The city has apparently gone Kiss-crazy in the days leading up to the occasion, with the appearance of Kiss-themed taxis, Metro cards and pizza boxes. On Wednesday, the New York Rangers hosted KISS Game Night , featuring Kiss-related activities and "limited-edition KISS x Rangers merchandise." Band members also made an appearance at an Empire State Building lighting ceremony on Thursday. Staged in honor of Kiss' swan song, Empire State emitted the colored lights associated with the band — silver, red, purple, green and blue.

'We Wanted To Be Larger Than Life': Paul Stanley Of KISS On Almost 50 Years Of Rock

Music Interviews

'we wanted to be larger than life': paul stanley of kiss on almost 50 years of rock.

Despite all the hooplah, this may not in fact be Kiss' goodbye kiss. The band undertook a previous "farewell tour" more than 20 years ago. After a brief hiatus, it started touring again on and off in 2003. Live shows and album releases flowed on from there.

In interviews, band members have spoken about continuing on after Saturday's Madison Square Garden performance in one way or another. Both Stanley and co-frontman Gene Simmons have their own bands and say they aim at the very least to continue making appearances in those formats.

"Nobody ever really says goodbye," said rock critic Selvin, citing comebacks over the years by the likes of Cher, Steve Miller and the Grateful Dead. "It's a show business strategy. You take a bow. But there's always an encore."

Selvin said artists often reappear after retiring because they can make a lot of money owing to fans' pent-up demand. For example, the pop-punk band Blink-182 is earning four times as much on its current reunion tour than it did when it last re-united in 2009, according to Far Out magazine. (The band issued a statement in 2005 saying it was going on "indefinite hiatus," only to reunite four years later.)

"Personal life interferes, you want to disappear into the woodwork for a while and then demand builds and you go back to it," Selvin said. "Steve Miller took his band apart in '99. He was just tired. And he was out for six years. And then in 2005, he put his band back together and suddenly his price was up, and there was more interest in seeing him."

Meanwhile, some musical acts simply never retire. The Rolling Stones, for instance, are embarking on yet another North America tour in 2024. The band just announced additional dates .

Selvin doesn't think we've heard the last of Kiss.

"The rule of the farewell tour is that you have to say goodbye to every hall, and sometimes you have to say goodbye twice," Selvin said. "I do not expect this to be the last time that Kiss performs, any more than 'Fare Thee Well' was the last time The Grateful Dead performed."

Gene Simmons (L) and Paul Stanley rock out onstage.

The time has finally come to kiss KISS goodbye.

Gene Simmons, Paul Stanley, Eric Singer and Tommy Thayer announced on Howard Stern that there are are just 21 shows and festival dates remaining on their long-running ‘End of the Road’ Tour .

And, in a fitting tribute to their storied six-decade career, the band will play their final two shows in their home New York City at Madison Square Garden on Dec. 1 and Dec. 2 .

“KISS was born in New York City. On 23rd Street,” the band shared on Instagram . “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.”

For those that can’t wait to paint their faces and “Rock and Roll All Nite” (and party every day), you can grab tickets as early as today .

Although inventory isn’t available on Ticketmaster until Friday, March 10, fans who want to ensure they have tickets ahead of time can purchase on sites like Vivid Seats before tickets are officially on sale.

Vivid Seats is a secondary market ticketing platform, and prices may be higher or lower than face value, depending on demand.

They have a 100% buyer guarantee that states your transaction will be safe and secure and will be delivered before the event.

KISS festival information

It may be the “End of the Road” for the “Detroit Rock City” rockers but they’re not exiting the stage quietly.

On top of the expansive tour, the group will also headline at two major festivals this year.

Here’s the skinny — from fellow headliners to cheapest tickets available — on both festivals below.

(Note: The New York Post confirmed all above prices at the publication time. All prices are subject to fluctuation and include additional fees at checkout .)

KISS set list

The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees have defied convention every step of the way on their one-of-a-kind career.

However, now more than 50 years deep into their tenure, they tend to favor order over chaos when it comes to what they play at live shows.

Here’s a sample set list of what you can likely expect at “End of the Road” shows when the band comes to a venue near you.

01.) “Detroit Rock City” 02.) “Shout It Out Loud” 03.) “War Machine” 04.) “Heaven’s on Fire” 05.) “I Love It Loud”

06.) “Cold Gin”

07.) “Guitar Solo” 08.) “Lick It Up”

09.) “Calling Dr. Love” 10.) “Psycho Circus” 11.) “Drum Solo” 12.) “100,000 Years”

13.) “Bass Solo”

14.) “God of Thunder” 15.) “Love Gun” 16.) “I Was Made for Lovin’ You”

17.) “Black Diamond” Encore:

18.) “Beth” 19.) “Do You Love Me” 20.) “Rock and Roll All Nite”

Set list comes courtesy of Set List FM . Their site has a comprehensive history dating back to 1973 documenting what the group has played at live shows over the years.

KISS band members

While legendary KISS alum Ace Frehley and Peter Criss most likely won’t play with the group on this run of shows, here’s who you can expect to see under the famous black and white makeup when you attend the KISS show of your choosing:

Gene Simmons lead and backing vocals, bass guitar (1973–present) Paul Stanley lead and backing vocals, rhythm and lead guitar (1973–present) Eric Singer drums, backing and lead vocals (1991–1996, 2001−2002, 2004–present) Tommy Thayer lead guitar, backing and lead vocals (2002–present)

Nearly three years after Kiss announced the final leg of what was supposed to be their final trek, the band has plotted the final final string of dates on their End of the Road Tour .

Trumpeted as “the absolute final shows of their final tour,” the farewell leg kicks off Oct. 29 in Austin, Texas and hits arenas across the U.S. and Canada before the makeup comes off — for good? — with a two-night stand at Kiss’ hometown Madison Square Garden in New York.

“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,” the band said of the final two gigs, Dec. 1 and 2, at the World’s Most Famous Arena.

Worth before wrapping up with a massive concert in the city where it all began for KISS . New York City has been a part of the band's ethos and storyline for more than four decades, so they felt it fitting to culminate an iconic Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame -worthy career on stage at New York's famed Madison Square Garden.

Tickets will be available starting Monday, April 3, with a KISS Army presale at 10 a.m. local time. Additional presales will be available throughout the week before the general on sale starting on Friday, April 7 at 10 a.m. local time at livenation.com.

Previously announced dates

October 29 - Austin, TX - Moody Center November 01 - Palm Springs, CA - Acrisure Arena November 03 - Los Angeles, CA - Hollywood Bowl November 06 - Seattle, WA - Climate Pledge Arena November 08 - Vancouver, BC - Rogers Arena November 10 - Edmonton, AB - Rogers Place November 12 - Calgary, AB - Scotiabank Saddledome November 13 - Saskatoon, SK - SaskTel Centre November 15 - Winnipeg, MB - Canada Life Centre November 18 - Montreal, QC - Centre Bell November 19 - Quebec, QC - Videotron Centre November 21 - Ottawa, ON - Canadian Tire Centre November 22 - Toronto, ON - Scotiabank Arena November 24 - Knoxville, TN - Thompson-Boling Arena November 25 - Indianapolis.

Speaking to "The Howard Stern Show" , KISS guitarist/vocalist Paul Stanley said: "December 1st and 2nd is Madison Square Garden. Those are the last two shows of the band. We're finishing up where we started. I believe there are 17 shows before that in the States.

"Some people have kind of snickered and said, 'This 'End Of The Road' tour has gone on for years.' Yeah, we lost two and a half years to COVID," Paul explained. "We would have been done already. Yeah, this is the end.

"When you come to see the show, it's awesome," he added. "It's the most high-tech show out there, and yet it's clearly a kick-ass rock and roll show. It's not Vegas; it's not something that loses its balls, so to speak. It's everything KISS , just amped up and ramped up."

When host Howard Stern brought up the fact that Gene Simmons had previously said he will shed tears at KISS 's final gig, the 73-year-old bassist/vocalist said: "Oh, I'm sure. I kid around a lot about 'men don't do that.' I'm sure I'm gonna cry like a nine-year-old girl whose foot's being stepped on.

" KISS was born on 23rd street. It's only taken us 50 years to go play the final shows 10 blocks away on 33rd street, which is Madison Square Garden," he added.

KISS launched its farewell trek in January 2019 but was forced to put it on hold in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

"End Of The Road" was originally scheduled to conclude on July 17, 2021 in New York City but has since been extended to late 2023. The trek was announced in September 2018 following a KISS performance of the band's classic song "Detroit Rock City" on "America's Got Talent" .

KISS 's current lineup consists of original members Stanley and Simmons , alongside later band additions, guitarist Tommy Thayer (since 2002) and drummer Eric Singer (on and off since 1991).

Formed in 1973 by Stanley , Simmons , Peter Criss and Ace Frehley , KISS staged its first "farewell" tour in 2000, the last to feature the group's original lineup.

In a recent interview with Yahoo! entertainment music editor Lyndsey Parker , Stanley was asked whether he thinks it will be emotional for him to play the final KISS show. Paul said: "More so than I know. There's gonna be some tears shed, for sure.

"You've gotta remember that Gene and I started this together when I was 17 and he was 20, 21. It's 50 years later. We've lived pretty interesting lives, and we have families and children and huge sales in terms of albums and concerts. So it's a big part of who we are; it's a big part of our lives. So, that final show, yeah, that's momentous. And it's gonna hit harder than I think we know. And we know it's gonna hit hard."

Asked whether the last concert of KISS 's "End Of The Road" tour will truly mark the band's final performance or if there is a chance of one-off shows or a Las Vegas residency in the future, Stanley said: "I really can't say. But it is the last of any kind of regular shows or touring.

"It's just time," he explained. "And in the same way, it's time consuming. And physically, it's grueling to do what we do. Hell, if I could go out on stage in my jeans and a t-shirt, give us another 10, 15 years easily. But what we do is a whole different sport. I mean, we're athletes; we're running around on stage with 30, 40, pounds of gear, and it's not possible to do it that much longer. So we're not like other bands.

"So, will we do more shows or one-offs? I really have no idea," Paul admitted. "But this is a real clear mindset that the touring days and doing those kind of shows, that's over."

In early 2019, Stanley told Australia's "Sunday Night" that "Rock And Roll All Nite" "has to be" the song that KISS performs as the last encore at the final concert of the "End Of The Road" tour. "That is the rock anthem that connects the world," he explained. "It was the start of other people coming up with anthems. They really didn't exist, per se. So, 'Rock And Roll All Nite And Party Every Day' , that's a song that just connects with people on all different levels."

Simmons concurred, telling BUILD Series : "How do you not end with 'Rock And Roll All Nite' ? We will have played that song, probably without exception, more than any other song we've ever been involved with. You might say, 'Aren't you sick and tired of hearing that?' But I will tell you the roar of the crowd, the smell of the grease paint, there ain't nothing like it. When you hear everybody getting jazzed about that and you get off the stage... [it's] like the fire in the belly. You're dog-tired; you've just done a big show; and you get up on that stage, when you see the joy in everybody's face... We've seen it all. We've been around for generations, but when you see a little 5-year-old kid in KISS makeup on his dad's shoulders who's wearing KISS makeup, next to his father... we're badass kind of guys — nothing affects us much — but that stuff will put a lump in your throat. You have to turn around for a second. It gets me. Yes, it's music, but it's generational, and it brings families together instead of separates [sic] them."

More than four years after KISS hit the road for its farewell tour, the glam metal band has announced there’s finally an end in sight.

The previously announced final tour date was in 2021, but now the band is set to conclude its “End of the Road Tour” at the end of the year at Madison Square Garden in New York City. The final curtain call is scheduled for Dec. 2, 2023 — more than 50 years after the iconic band’s first show.

The tour kicked off in Vancouver on Jan. 31, 2019, and went on a pandemic-induced hiatus pushing shows set for 2020 to 2021. In 2022, the band admitted they weren’t quite ready to say farewell, and announced that they would be adding another 100 shows to their “End of the Road Tour.”

“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,” Simmons said in a 2022 interview with YouTube channel Chaoszine. “ ... this is a tour that will not stop until it stops.”

“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,” the band stated on its website . “New York City has been a part of our ethos and storyline for more than four decades, so we felt it fitting to culminate our career on stage at Madison Square Garden.”

The musicians behind the makeup include two original members, frontman Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley, along with drummer Eric Singer and guitarist Tommy Thayer.

KISS Officially Announce Final Date of Their Farewell Tour During ‘Howard Stern Show’ Appearance

During a highly publicized appearance on  The Howard Stern Show on SiriusXM, KISS have officially announced the final show of their End of the Road farewell tour, which will take place on Dec. 2 at Madison Square Garden in New York City, the second of back-to-back nights. They've also unveiled a new batch of North American stops leading up to the finale.

There had been other proposed end dates for the rock legends just on this tour alone (which began in 2018) with manager Doc McGhee floating a couple loose timelines before declaring earlier this year that KISS will indeed put on their final tour performance in 2023.

Notably, this trek is not the first time the group has made an attempt to retire and there will surely be speculation about the legitimacy of this announcement.

Considering the Rock and Roll Hall of Famers booked a set of 2023 U.K. dates and mentioned it'd be their last shows in the region, it really does appear that KISS are winding down their 50-year touring career with lone mainstays Paul Stanley having turned 71 earlier this year and Gene Simmons set to turn 74 this summer.

An excuse to drool ‘blood’ … Gene Simmons of Kiss playing in Birmingham.

Kiss review – typically explosive end to rock’s silliest band

Resorts World Arena, Birmingham The solos are dull, the banter crass, the songs often lacking in interest – and yet Kiss’s final tour is also a barrage of amazement

A nd so Kiss roll into Britain for their third last-ever-time. Their End of the Road tour – which has now lasted longer than the first world war and used nearly as many explosives – has already come to these shores in 2019 and 2022 , each time promising to be the final UK shows (there was also a Kiss Farewell Tour in 2000-2001, but that didn’t make it to Europe). Nevertheless, here they are again, kabuki makeup and pyrotechnics present and correct.

Pretty much everything about Kiss is amazing: the self-mythologising, the shamelessness, the complete bravado of their stage show, which is more like a fireworks display than a gig. They haven’t earned the loyalty that fills arenas after 50 years by not giving the crowds what they want, and they haven’t becoming one of rock’s biggest brands without squeezing every last drop out of those loyal fans (there’s a vast range of T-shirts on sale tonight, starting at an eye-watering £45). The only thing they’ve ever lacked is enough great songs to fill a show of nearly two hours – even fan favourites such as Cold Gin or Makin’ Love are so basic you spend three minutes waiting for something, anything to happen.

They’ve also never lost the hard rock habit of giving everyone a solo, and even by the standards of solos – reliably the dullest part of any rock show – theirs are wretched. Tommy Thayer shoots fireworks out of his guitar headstock, Eric Singer bashes around his kit; Gene Simmons’ bass solo, delivered from a platform raised to the lighting rig, is nothing more than an excuse for him to drool “blood” before singing God of Thunder, the ur-Simmons anthem in which he proclaims himself not just god of said weather, but also of rock’n’roll.

God of Thunder also sees Simmons promise that “the spell you’re under / Will slowly rob you of your virgin soul”, and thus covers Kiss’s two lyrical subjects – how they are really good at rock, and really good at sex – in one brief burst. If the words are often cursory, that’s rather the point: these are songs whose purpose is to be hollered along to by big crowds, not parsed. It’s wildly more fun to join Stanley in singing “You pull the trigger on my love gun” than it is to wonder what was on his mind when it was written. Not least because it doesn’t really require any wondering.

Gene Simmons, Tommy Thayer and Paul Stanley of Kiss.

At their best, though, they are thrilling in the way only brutally primitive rock (accompanied by explosions) can be. The opener, Detroit Rock City, is lithe and propulsive; I Was Made for Lovin’ You proves they could write melodies if they needed to; Heaven’s on Fire showcases the pop harmonies that meant they crossed over in a way such basic music rarely does (the crowd here is notably mixed in age, and with plenty of women). Like the Rolling Stones, their original threat – once upon a time, they were suspected of being Satanists rather than capitalists – has long since dissipated, and they’ve become another of those monoliths that demand to be viewed at least once.

Paul Stanley’s stage banter – delivered in a voice that’s part disgruntled parrot, part man having his balls unexpectedly squeezed, and part kids’ entertainer – remains a thing of astonishment: “I think sometimes, after Makin’ Love, you have to call the doctor … not any doctor … I’m not talking about any doctor. I’m talking about … Calling Doctor Love.” Incredibly, that’s an improvement on his ending of a minute’s silence for the Manchester bombing in 2017 with the announcement: “Does anyone here like to Lick It Up?”

Despite a recent clip from an Antwerp show that made it plain that some of the backing vocals are now taped, it’s clear Stanley is singing live. His voice is creaky at times, but no one ever went to see Kiss in expectation of technical brilliance, and when it matters he – and Simmons – can deliver in spades.

It’s panto, and despite a mid-set sag, it ends triumphantly with Rock and Roll All Nite, accompanied by most of the UK’s supply of confetti and a minefield’s worth of, yes, explosions. Don’t bet against this December’s retirement being just the first of many.

The End of the Road tour tours the UK until 8 July at OVO Hydro, Glasgow, and ends in Madison Square Garden, New York, 2 December.

Gene simmons announces a free live show (yes, you heard right) after kiss retirement.

' src=

Gene Simmons will play his first live performance after KISS ended at the end of last year.

It looks like it will be a free concert at the opening of the Rock & Brews restaurant at the Ilani dining and entertainment destination in Ridgefield, Washington. Ilani Casino Resort announced the show on their Instagram account , writing:

“The Gene Simmons Band is putting on a free show to kick off opening day at Rock & Brews. Will you be there? Tuesday, April 23, 8:00 pm – Rock & Brews.”

Simmons will perform there on April 23 and take the stage for the first time after KISS finished their farewell show of their End of the Road tour at New York’s Madison Square Garden in December 2023.

What The Show Will Be Like?

end of the road tour kiss 2023

The bassist spoke about the upcoming concert in an interview with ABC Audio:

“There are no rules, which is my favorite thing in life. Anything is bound to happen. I may jump off the stage and get into the audience. We may pull some folks out of the audience. You wanna sing ‘I Was Made For Lovin’ You’? Here’s the mic. Good luck.”

Gene also gave some clues about the setlist:

“We get a chance to play songs KISS has never played and some songs have never been recorded. So it’s a very exciting event.”

Simmons and his KISS bandmate Paul Stanley, along with a team including Michael Zislis and Dave Furano, started Rock & Brews near LAX in 2010. They have over 20 locations across several states, and there are more on the way.

After the Ilani show, Gene Simmons Band heads to Brazil for the Summer Breeze Open Air festival on April 26, then starts a European tour in Finland on July 27. The group will visit other countries like Belgium, Germany, Sweden, and the Netherlands, too.
