The band is currently touring on their End of the Road Tour, and they announced that they would return to the United States from October through December to perform. The tour previously began in 2019, but it was put on hold due to the pandemic.
Their last tour dates are December 1 and 2, and the Rock and Roll Hall of Famers picked New York City for their final performance in honor of the band’s origins in the 1970s.
KISS was born on 23rd Street in New York, and they will finish the tour at Madison Square Garden, which is 10 blocks and 50 years from where they had started.
The band will no longer be going on tours but has spoken out about attending one-off concerts and festivals.
