]]>According to the press release, Lee Roth will be a part of Kiss’ live shows between February and October of 2020. The group is scheduled to play around 45 dates during that period.
“David Lee Roth will bring his exciting stage show featuring a twin guitar big rock sound and a setlist of classic hits and future energy,” Kiss’ official statement reads.
Lee Roth’s commitment to End of the Road tour means any hope that the long-rumored Van Halen reunion will take place soon is now gone. The 65-year-old vocalist himself also dismissed the reunion talks earlier in 2019, even saying that the band “is finished.”
Kiss kicked off the End of the Road tour back in January and are scheduled to be on the road until the summer of 2021, when they’ll have one last concert in their hometown of New York City on July 17, 2021.

]]>While spirits were high both on stage and in the crowd, there’s no forgetting that this tour, aptly named End of the Road Tour, is scheduled to be Kiss’s last. In an interview to Australian Sunday Night, Simmons explained why the band decided to call it quits:
“It’s because of the pride that we have. Remember, we introduce ourselves with ‘You wanted the best. You got the best. The hottest band in the world: KISS.’” sais Simmons. “I want those words to mean something, even until the very last show.”
Referencing his age, Simmons went on to say: I’m gonna be 70. B*tch, you wanna get into my outfit, you wanna step into my shoes? Ten pounds each. There’ll be about 42 to 45 pounds of gear. Oh, yes, you have to shoot fire out of your mouth, sometimes out of your ass. And you’re exhausted at the end of it.”
“So, could I be in a band until my late 70s? Sure. But I’d have to join U2 or The [Rolling] Stones, put on a pair of sneakers and a t-shirt and just strum. But in terms of physicality, we’re the hardest-working band on earth.”

]]>End of the Road tour will see Kiss performing in the lineup consisting of Paul Stanley, Gene Simmons, Tommy Thayer and Eric Singer. According to the band, they will play all the hits you want to hear; from their 1974’s debut album to the most recent releases.
“All that we have built and all that we have conquered over the past four decades could never have happened without the millions of people worldwide who’ve filled clubs, arenas and stadiums over those years,” – Kiss said in a statement. “This will be the ultimate celebration for those who’ve seen us and a last chance for those who haven’t. Kiss Army, we’re saying goodbye on our final tour with our biggest show yet and we’ll go out the same way we came in. … Unapologetic and unstoppable.”
While End of the Road tour might be the last time you will get to see Kiss performing live, it might not mean that it will also mean the band’s retirement from music.
“One thing for sure is that this is the last tour. What goes beyond that is really hard to say,” – Kiss’ frontman Paul Stanley told Billboard. “The tour may go three years, but once we play your city, it is done. That is our big thank you.”
