End of the Road World Tour
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 the Rogers Arena in Vancouver, Canada and is currently ongoing.
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. Professional painter David Garibaldi served as Kiss's opening act for the 2019 North American and European legs of the tour. David Lee Roth was later announced as the opening act for the 2020 North American legs.
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.Setlists
