Kiss concert chronology

The End of the Road World Tour is the ongoing final concert tour by the American rock band Kiss. The tour began on January 31, 2019, at Rogers Arena in Vancouver, Canada and is currently ongoing.[1][2]

History[]

Kiss performing in Clisson on June 22, 2019

The tour was announced on September 19, 2018, following a performance of "Detroit Rock City" on America's Got Talent. Tour dates were officially announced for North America, Europe and Oceania on October 30, 2018.[3][4] Professional painter David Garibaldi served as Kiss's opening act for the 2019 North American and European legs of the tour.[5] David Lee Roth was later announced as the opening act for the 2020 North American leg.[6]

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, most of the shows that were to take place in 2020 were postponed into 2021, with the final show being postponed to a later date to be announced.[7]

The band later announced on November 20, 2020 that they would perform an exclusive New Year's Eve 2020 livestream show.[8] The Kiss New Year's Eve 2020 Goodbye livestream concert was produced by City Drive Studios[9] and directed by Daniel Catullo.[10] The pay-per-view concert was part of the Landmarks Live Series and was filmed with over fifty 4K cameras with 360-degree views on a 250-foot stage at The Royal Beach at Atlantis The Palm, Dubai. The performance broke two Guinness World Records: one for the highest flame projection in a music concert and another for the most flame projections launched simultaneously in a music concert.[11] On June 11, 2021, following the premiere of the band's documentary Biography: Kisstory at the Tribeca Film Festival, the band performed a five-song set at Battery Park in New York City.[12]

In the tour program for the final tour, both Stanley and Simmons commented on the tour:

Kiss is much more than a rock and roll band. The band and its fans are a tribe. It's humbling for me that we can be the magnet that brings people together. What we have with the fans is reciprocity. The fans are our oxygen, they are our blood. They make it possible for us to exist. This tour is a celebration of 40 years of that connection between Kiss and the fans.
– Paul Stanley

Kiss has always marched to the beat of their own drum. It's amazing how a band like Kiss that started off innocently enough as just four guys off the streets of New York who wanted to put together the band they never saw onstage turned into a worldwide phenomenon. The fact that it actually worked beyond anyone's wildest dreams is amazing.
– Gene Simmons[13]

Reception[]

Kiss performing in Kraków on June 18, 2019

Vancouver Sun's Stuart Derdeyn, who had attended the tour's opening night in Vancouver, Canada, gave the show a positive review, stating: "After being treated to an opening trio of tunes that included "Detroit Rock City", "Shout It Out Loud" and "Deuce" embellish with as much pyrotechnics as other bands might use for an entire show, the crowd at the opening night of the KISS 'End of the World' tour was right in the sweet spot that the New York City quartet has always been able to get them into."[14]

Chris Jordan from the Asbury Park Press who had attended the Madison Square Garden performance on March 27, 2019, gave the concert a positive review. He noted the large amount of energy that the band had, as well as praising the amount of explosions, fire breathing and elevated risers. The reporter closed the review, stating: "By the time the band got to 'Rock and Roll All Nite', with a burst of confetti to close the show, it was apparent. You were rocked."[15]

Nikki O'Neill from the Chicago Tribune who had attended the performance in Chicago, stated: "Saturday's show was delivered by a musically tight and drama-free band. Original member Paul Stanley especially seemed to have fun on stage, often letting a smile crack through his "Starchild" makeup, addressing the crowd in his unmistakable stage voice, which best can be described as a mix of Southern rock 'n' roll preacher and fired up drag queen. Although the show is super-scripted - because of the ample pyrotechnics, the band would argue - there's not a moment of dullness or dead air as KISS gave the audience a live summary of its career, with 20 songs representing the classic '70s era and the makeup-free '80s, performing only one song from the '90s and one from 2009 with the current lineup."[16]
