One final tour. A real farewell. 

Just announced. 

No Ace or Peter I bet. But would love for them to be involved somehow.

    I'm ready!  Bring on the tour!  Never seen them before so really looking forward to it.  They've been on my "must see" list for awhile.

    Never seen them before. I'm going to one of these shows. Hoping Ace is part of the tour. Be it opening band or a few encore songs. 

    Anyone ever bought tickets through the kiss army before? Is it worth paying the $50?

    In the US, hasn't KISS had problems filling up places forever. They will get a "last chance" bump, but will it really be problems getting tickets?

    A completely new stage is confirmed by Paul Stanley.

    Went and saw KISS a couple weeks ago.

    GREAT SHOW

    GREAT TIME


    Easily worth the $290 I spent on 2 tickets.

    Take me piece by piece.....
    Till there aint nothing left worth taking away from me.....

    Hope they come (back) to Sweden in 2020 for some real concerts. Won't go to a festival to see them...

    I've seen KISS once in 1878 and what a rude awakening to rock music and excess. It was first rock concert, two weeks earlier was my first concert. It was a good thing a I was almost deft from my first concert (Isley Brothers) cause after KISS I was completely deft.

    I got got to see my set of naked boobs and far too many other things a 17 year should not see in public. After that show i was completely hooked on rock music. Now back today, would I want see them again? ONLY if it's the original players.

    Peace

    Man you're old. I saw them like 100 years later in 1978. My first concert. Then twice again with the original members and a few years ago with the fill ins.

    NOTHING BEATS THE 1980 TOUR -- with the Unmasked songs included in the setlist.

    I only saw KISS for the first time on the tour before this one.  The tour played here (which is rare for bigger rock bands) so we made sure to go.    The show itself wasn't all that great.  You didn't have that synergy that you need between the band and the crowed to have a truly great concert.   To this date I don't know if it was the band or the audience but the show wasn't all that great :(

    I also like G under P's posts about going deaf at his first concerts.  I had the same problem.   I thought it was mildly bad at some of my first shows, then I saw Soundgarden.  I couldn't hear anything for days.   Everything sounded like static.   It took a few days to subside to ringing.   I still have permanent hearing damage from that show.   My dad who never lectures me on anything sat me down and told me to start wearing earplugs to shows.  Good advice.

    Over the years not from 1878 mind you, I was under several influences and I even knew I was spelling deaf incorrectly. I have noticed some major hearing loss in that I've been to hundreds of concerts and being a DJ in college certainly has contributed to my hearing loss.

     KISS and the Isley Brothers were loud maybe more so they were my first concerts. However, the ones that took my over the top was Def Leppard and ACDC. DL was front row side floor with speakers blaring in my right ear @ the Capital Centre. I moved up in the stands I had major headache. Then came the Black Ice tour, I heard warnings of how this was going to be loud. I took the warnings seriously especially since I was taking my 14 year old daughter. I had THE top of the line earplugs for both of us and I STILL left that show with my ears ringing. I don't know how those guys can take that volume of music night after night.....and look what has happen to former lead singer Brian Johnson. I believe hes completely deaf, I wonder if he can recall that I once waited on and served him the band and road crew food 3am in the morning. 

    Say does anyone know if KISS will play South Florida?

    Ok then Sunrise is more like it cause I'm not driving to Tampa. I have driven to Tampa for the last RUSH R40 tour.

    Sunrise is not far and that 8/6 sounds great if I'm in this country, we shall see thanks.

    Wait a $20 you mean its possible to get a $20 ticket to ANY concert today. I paid $55 for a spring training game between the Red Sox & the Nationals across the street. I would be in for $20 bucks just to get back the nostalgia of that 1978 show.

    Live Nation offers $20 tickets for certain bands during “National concert week” in late April/early May. Last year they had like 60 or 70 bands that you could get $20 tickets for. I got tickets for Chicago, Buddy Guy, and Godsmack. Kiss might be one of those bands this year so it’s good to take advantage of cheap tickets that week.
