Kiss have unveiled the first details of their final ever live show. Although the venue has not yet been confirmed, the show will take place in the band's home town of New York on July 17, 2021 in New York City.
The news was confirmed by the band on board this year's Kiss Kruise, which returns to Miami today after visiting Great Stirrup Cay, Bahamas and Falmouth, Jamaica.
Screens aboard the Kruise also suggest that a further 75 dates on the End Of The Road tour have been added to the diary, with a run of shows stretching from February through November 2010. The venues have yet to be confirmed.
The band will also return to the high seas in November, with the 10th Kiss Kruise sailing from Miami to Harvest Caye, Belize and Roatan, Honduras.
"It’s a lot of hard work to be in Kiss, drummer Eric Singer told Classic Rock earlier this year. "It takes a lot out of you. I’ll be 61 this year, Gene will be 70, Paul is 67. Tommy will be 58. We’re not kids. All I can tell you right now is I won’t miss anything. Not at all."
The next leg of the tour takes the band to New Zealand and Australia, where Kiss will perform a special show for great white sharks.
"I was a little taken aback by it," says Paul Stanley. "But they explained that sharks are attracted to low frequencies and so they’re attracted to rock‘n’roll.
“Since we’re going to be in Australia, it gives a whole new meaning to doing a concert down under.”
He adds: “I’m not sure how much of us the sharks can take. I’m hoping they know Rock And Roll All Nite.”
