Nearly 50 years after Kiss formed, the American rock band have announced their final ever UK tour dates for June and July 2023.

The legendary band, formed of Gene Simmons, Paul Stanley, Eric Singer and Tommy Thayer, have been on a farewell tour dubbed End of the Road since 2018.

They will play six dates in the UK next summer, beginning in Plymouth with a stadium show at Home Park before travelling to London, Manchester, Birmingham, Newcastle and Glasgow.

In a statement, Kiss told fans of their End of the Road tour: “This will be the ultimate celebration for those who’ve seen us and a last chance for those who haven’t.”

They added: “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.”

The band appeared at the Download Festival in Donington Park earlier this year, their last appearance in the UK before announcing their final UK tour dates.

Bassist and co-vocalist Gene Simmons said in 2018 that they were retiring out of “self-respect” and because of the “love” for their fans.

Kiss have released 20 albums over the 50 years they have been active, with their biggest singles this side of the Atlantic being Crazy Crazy Nights in 1987 and God Save Rock in 1992.

Their tour will continue across Europe during the rest of June and July next year.
