KISS announce the details of their last ever shows
After nearly 50 years on the road, rock legends KISS have announced their “absolute last shows” as part of their End of the Road tour.
The final shows of their final tour, which kicks off in late October 2023 in Texas, will take place in the band’s hometown of New York with two back-to-back nights at Madison Square Garden.
“Kiss was born in New York City. On 23rd Street. Half a century ago. It will be a privilege and honour to finish touring at Madison Square Garden, 10 blocks and 50 years from where we first started,” the band said.
The two shows will take place on December 1st and 2nd after a whirlwind tour around the US.

Their final New York concerts were originally scheduled for July 2021, but were postponed due to Covid-19 restrictions.
The band have been touring around the world for almost half a century, with the rock stars admitting they have reached the point where they need to slow down.
“We can’t be running around for that much longer in 40 pounds of gear,” Paul Stanley previously told Rolling Stone of the farewell tour.
“There’s nothing maudlin about it. It’s a celebration with our fans around the world. We wanted to raise the bar again as to what a band can do live. That’s really what we’ve always done: We’ve always wanted to be the band we never saw.”
“There are a lot of shows out there that have Kiss DNA in them because they really weren’t shows of any magnitude before us.”
