After 50 years together, KISS is going out with a bang.
The 2014 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees are playing their final two concerts as part of their farewell ‘End Of The Road Tour’ at New York City’s Madison Square Garden on Friday, Dec. 1 and Saturday, Dec. 2.
“KISS was born in New York City on 23rd Street half a century ago,” the band shared on Instagram. “It will be a privilege and honor to finish touring at Madison Square Garden, ten blocks and 50 years from where we first started.”
And if you want to be there to rock out in your black and white face paint with Gene Simmons, Paul Stanley and the rest of the group one last time, it isn’t too late to grab last-minute tickets.
They will cost you, though.
At the time of publication, the lowest price we could find on seats for the MSG shows was $209 before fees on Vivid Seats.
Floor seats start at $496 before fees.
Still, it’s hard to put a price on singing along to “I Was Made For Lovin’ You,” “Rock And Roll All Nite,” “Detroit Rock City,” “Lick It Up,” “Heaven’s On Fire” and so many more classics live.

Ace Frehley tour
Just because KISS is calling it quits doesn’t mean all of its original members are done with the road.
From January through June 2024, Ace Frehley will go the solo route gigging all over North America.
That includes a show at New York City’s Sony Hall on Thursday, March 28.
