Kiss has just added eight new stops onto their ongoing “End Of The Road Tour.” New shows now on the books feature dates in Irvine, Mountain View, and Wheatland, California; Sparks, Nevada; Hildago, Texas; along with West Palm Beach and Tampa, Florida.
Gene Simmons told us that unlike many of their peers, for Kiss makes a concerted effort to bring the music directly to fans, often hitting secondary markets to ensure the “Kiss Army” doesn't have to travel far to catch the show: “We're going to take our tour to cities that would otherwise would not get the headlines in newspapers. So, Sioux City — y'know, places like that. The idea of doing London and Paris and New York, and all the big fancy cities — yeah, that's fine. But there are hundreds and hundreds of cities throughout North America that just don't get the respect they should.”
