To stream the show live, fans in the U.S. and Canada pay a one-time fee of $39.99, rather than signing up for a subscription. (Internationally, it costs $14.99 to watch the event.)
“50 years of Rock ‘n’ Roll. 1 Final Show,” the group wrote in the caption. “Rock out with @kissonline one last time! Their final concert ever, LIVE from @thegarden, streaming exclusively worldwide on PPV.COM.”
The band featuringGene Simmons,Paul Stanley, Eric Singer and Tommy Thayer kicked off their farewell tour back in 2019, before putting a pause on live appearances due to the pandemic. The “Detroit Rock City” group has since taken their send-off show across North America, Europe, Latin America, Asia and Australia.
Back in the spring, the heavy metal legendsannounced the final leg of The End of the Road Tourwould commence this fall and wrap up in NYC where five decades ago they launched what became their storied career of many hit songs and stadium tours.
Upon the announcement, the rockers shared a statement in a press release about returning to the place they started in the ‘70s for their last concert. They shared, “KISS was born in New York City. On 23rd Street. Half a century ago. It will be a privilege and an honor to finish touring at Madison Square Garden, 10 blocks and 50 years from where we first started.”

Simmons previously opened up toChaoszinein July 2022 about theLick It Upband’s decision to continue extending their farewell tour. “We don’t know. We’ve never retired before. This is our first time,” the vocalist/bassist said. “It’s like painting a painting or writing a book. When somebody says, ‘When is it gonna be finished?’ You’re in the middle of it; you don’t know.”
The frontman continued, “The crew is happy. Everybody’s happy. So we’ve decided to add another 100 cities before we stop. I don’t know how long that’s gonna take.”
Long before the hitmakers were approaching their final concert and justannouncing that they were hitting the road for the last time, they shared a statement back in 2018 about their impending retirement.
“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 at the time. “This will be the ultimate celebration for those who’ve seen us and a last chance for those who haven’t.”
