KISS Announces Final Tour: Will the Starchild, Demon, Spaceman, and Catman Ride Again? – Dates and Cities Revealed…

Kiss Announces Final Tour

The rock and roll universe is buzzing once more! Just when we thought the curtain had definitively fallen on the legendary career of KISS with their “End of the Road” tour, the painted titans have roared back with an announcement that has sent shockwaves through the KISS Army: a brand new, purportedly absolute final tour, aptly titled “The Final Curtain.” And this time, folks, they’ve even dropped some tantalizing dates and cities!

Yes, you heard it right. Gene Simmons, the fire-breathing Demon, Paul Stanley, the charismatic Starchild, Tommy Thayer, the electrifying Spaceman, and Eric Singer, the thunderous Catman, are strapping on their iconic makeup and platform boots for one last, epic global trek. Following their initial tease of a final bow, this announcement feels more concrete, more definitive, and dare we say, even more emotional for the legions of fans who have followed their journey for over five decades.

The first leg of “The Final Curtain” tour is set to ignite in North America in the late summer of 2025. While the full itinerary is still being rolled out, the band has revealed a handful of key cities that will be among the first to experience this final KISS spectacle. Get ready, because the initial dates include:

• August 2025: Los Angeles, CA – [Venue TBA]
• September 2025: New York City, NY – Madison Square Garden
• September 2025: Chicago, IL – United Center
• October 2025: Toronto, ON, Canada – Scotiabank Arena
• October 2025: Dallas, TX – American Airlines Center

These are just the first sparks of what promises to be a massive global undertaking, with further dates in Europe, South America, Australia, and beyond expected to be announced in the coming weeks. The band has promised a production even more elaborate and explosive than their previous tours, a true celebration of their incredible legacy packed with all the fire, the blood, the iconic costumes, and of course, the timeless anthems that have defined generations of rock and roll.

Gene Simmons, in a typically bombastic statement accompanying the announcement, declared that this truly will be the last chance for fans to witness the iconic lineup of KISS in their full glory. Paul Stanley echoed this sentiment, emphasizing the band’s desire to leave the stage with a final, unforgettable series of performances that will solidify their place in rock history forever.

The question on everyone’s minds, of course, is whether this “final” tour will truly be the end of live performances from Gene, Paul, Tommy, and Eric. The introduction of their digital avatars at the close of the “End of the Road” tour hinted at a potential continuation of the KISS legacy in a new form. Could “The Final Curtain” serve as a poignant farewell to the human iteration of the band, paving the way for a future where the avatars take center stage?

Regardless of what the future holds, the announcement of “The Final Curtain” tour is a monumental moment for the KISS Army. It’s a chance to relive the magic one last time, to sing along to those iconic riffs, to witness the spectacle that only KISS can deliver, and to say a heartfelt goodbye to the Starchild, the Demon, the Spaceman, and the Catman as they take their final bow. Mark your calendars, start saving those pennies, and prepare for what promises to be an unforgettable farewell from one of the greatest rock and roll bands of all time. The final curtain is about to rise, and you won’t want to miss it. Keep your eyes glued to official KISS channels for more dates and ticket information!
