KISS “End of the Road” Tour Announced
By: Addie Hayes, Editor/Lead Writer, Regional Music Journal
From their humble beginnings in 1973 until they exploded on the rock scene with their first live album Alive! in 1975, KISS was destined to become rock n’ roll legends. Over the course of 45 years, KISS has travelled around the world several times, released 20 studio albums, 8 live albums, multiple compilations and box sets, and their musical empire has grown beyond releasing albums and touring.
During the mid to late 1970s, KISS was everywhere. The band made their first comic in 1977, which was published by Marvel Comics. They made appearances on television and in film. The KISS brand could be found on pinball machines, dolls, board games, lunchboxes and people dressed up as their favorite band member for Halloween. They were and still are bonafide superstars.
In late 2018, the band announced their final tour called “End of the Road”, which will run throughout 2019. The tour kicked off on January 31, 2019, in Vancouver, BC, Canada and the band will be in North America through April before heading to Europe. After their European leg of the tour, KISS will return to North America with dates scheduled in August and September. They will be to Australia and New Zealand in November. KISS Army fans have the opportunity to take advantage of presales in their areas and VIP and KISS Meet & Greet Experiences are also available.
KISS is well known for their live performances and they will no doubt pull out all the stops for their final world tour. The Rock & Roll Hall of Famers have sold millions of albums and amassed one of the largest worldwide followings seen in music today. With the world’s most iconic rock band retiring, fans both old and new will line-up for tickets to see the show.
