American rock legends Kiss are showing no signs of slowing down despite being 45 years on the music scene. Although the band is still on their Kissworld Tour, which started in 2017, they are already planning another tour in 2019. The upcoming tour, however, will really be something special.
Kiss co-vocalist and bassist Gene Simmons recently talked with Sweden’s Expressen and told the magazine that the band will embark on a three-year-long tour in January 2019.
“It will be a three-year-long tour, starting in January 2019,” said Simmons. “We will go to all continents, though exactly where I can’t tell you now.”
This announcement is in line with the recent comments that Kiss’ co-vocalist and guitarist Paul Stanley made.
“A major Kiss tour, I would say, starts at the end of January,” Stanley told CNBC when asked about the upcoming plans. “It hasn’t been announced yet, so don’t tell anybody … This will be the biggest tour we’ve done, the biggest show we’ve done.”
Kiss fans already started speculating that this huge tour might be also a farewell tour for the band, especially since they filed a request to trademark the phrase “The End Of The Road,” back in February. So far, Kiss has been denying such rumors.
“Let me put it bluntly: One day we are going to stop and do the last show. I don’t know when that is… I still look stunning in real life,” Gene Simmons told Australia’s News Corp. “The band’s in great shape — Tommy [Thayer, guitar] and Eric [Singer, drums] are fantastic. Everybody finally seems happy with their lot in life.”
