Kiss is currently on their Farewell Tour, which is expected to run for three years. Dubbed the End of the Road, the trek marks 19 years after Kiss staged their first farewell trip and according to the guys will be the last chance for fans to see this iconic rock band live.
“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,” Kiss said in a statement accompanying the dates. “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.”
Full of explosive pyrotechnics and larger than life costumes and tongue wagging, the men of Kiss are truly going out with a bang! Donning platform heels, face makeup and plenty of fire power, here are just a few highlights from the exciting farewell tour.
The Setlist:
Comprised of the groups greatest hits, the set is 20-tracks long. The setlist also on average remains the same and features songs such as "Detroit Rock City," "Shout It Out Loud," "Say Yeah" and "Calling Dr. Love."
Check out the most recent setlist below:
The Encore:
The encore regularly features 4 songs and concludes the show with a tape of "God Gave Rock 'n' Roll to You II."
The Covers:
With so many original hits, the band only does a snippet of The Who's "Won't Get Fooled Again" during a rendition of "Lick It Up."
The Stage Antics:
The stage is filled with fiery explosions, smoke machines and thunderous instrumental sets. Even more exciting though? Paul Stanley gliding across the amorous arena just a few feet above the crowd!
The Fan Experience:
If you got some extra cash to spare, do the fan meet and greet! The band will take you up on the stage, hang out with you backstage and even let you try on some of their iconic gear.
As we wait for more dates to be announced, check out the remaining show stops in North America below!
