Kiss Announces Final Dates for End of the Road Farewell Tour

Kiss has announced that they will conclude their End of the Road farewell tour with two December 2023 shows at New York City's Madison Square Garden.

Paul Stanley revealed that the band will perform at their hometown's most famous venue on Dec. 1 and 2 during an appearance on the Howard Stern Show . That will be just shy of 51 years after they played their first show on Jan. 30, 1973, at the Popcorn Club in nearby Queens. Kiss announced 17 other new North American shows today, beginning Oct. 29 in Austin, Texas. You can see the full list of confirmed dates below.

Kiss launched the End of the Road Tour in January 2019, putting the trek on pause in 2020 due to the coronavirus pandemic and resuming in the summer of 2021. The face-painted rockers have logged hundreds of shows on the tour, and in June 2022, Gene Simmons revealed that they wanted to add another 100 dates to the itinerary.

"We don't know [when the tour will end]. We've never retired before. This is our first time," Simmons told Chaoszine . "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." He added, "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."

Stanley recently echoed his bandmate's sentiments. "We're far from done. I'd like to say that this is the end of the road, but they keep paving more road," he told UCR  last December. "The only people that seems to bother are the people who hate us. Quite honestly, they've never mattered and they still don't. The people who want to see us are thrilled. The people who wish we'd go away are going to have to wait. And in one form or another, we're never gonna go."

Watch: KISS Performs In Stockholm During 'End Of The Road' Tour

Fan-filmed video of KISS 's June 18 concert at Tele2 Arena in Stockholm, Sweden can be seen below.

The band's setlist was as follows:

01. Detroit Rock City 02. Shout It Out Loud 03. Deuce 04. War Machine 05. Heaven's On Fire 06. I Love It Loud 07. Say Yeah 08. Cold Gin 09. Guitar Solo 10. Lick It Up 11. Calling Dr. Love 12.

21. Beth 22. Do You Love Me 23. Rock And Roll All Nite

KISS 's "End Of The Road" farewell tour launched in 2019 and is scheduled to end sometime in 2023, 50 years after the band's formation.

In a phone interview, KISS frontman Paul Stanley stated about the band's live shows: "There's nothing really that can compete or come close to the combustive emotional nature of what we do on stage and the connection to the fans. That's something that's irreplaceable. That's something that there's nothing to compare it to."

Regarding KISS 's decision to complete one last tour before calling it quits, Stanley said: "This is really a time of joy and for us to be up there and celebrate what we've done together. It's much better than finishing a tour, let's say, and then a year later deciding you don't want to go out and two years later you decide you don't want to go out. In that sense, you've called it quits, but this is so much better for us and better for the fans to go out there with the highest of spirits and the greatest of shows."

Speaking about the "End Of The Road" stage production, Stanley said: "The show this time really is the ultimate KISS show. With that in mind, we wanted to put together something that really raised the bar, not just for us, but as happened over the years, raises the bar for every act out there. That's a good thing because the fans win because of it. This show is more bombastic. There's more pyro. The lights are stunning. The automation involved, the computer synchronization is unlike anything we've ever done, and yet it doesn't lose, we don't wind up with something that's technical and sterile over something that's passionate and gritty. So it's a marvel, I've got to tell you. It left us speechless when we first saw the finished stage. And for us to be silent is a miracle in itself."

KISS was forced to put its farewell trek on hold in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Last October, Stanley said that the final concert of the "End Of The Road" tour will likely happen by early 2023.

"End Of The Road" was originally scheduled to conclude on July 17, 2021 in New York City but has since been extended. The trek was announced in September 2018 following a KISS performance of the band's classic song "Detroit Rock City" on "America's Got Talent" .

KISS 's current lineup consists of original members Stanley and bassist/vocalist Gene Simmons , alongside later band additions, guitarist Tommy Thayer (since 2002) and drummer Eric Singer (on and off since 1991).

Formed in 1973 by Stanley , Simmons , drummer Peter Criss and guitarist Ace Frehley , KISS 's first "farewell" tour in 2000 was the last to feature the group's original lineup.

KISS Cancel First Show of Upcoming European ‘End of the Road’ Leg

KISS are preparing to set out on the 12th European leg of their ongoing " End of the Road " farewell tour. However, the first date of the upcoming stretch — scheduled for June 3 at Home Park Stadium in Plymouth, England — has been canceled.

In a statement from KISS and the promoter Robomagic, per  PlymouthLive , it was said that due to "logistical reasons," the gig will no longer proceed.

The KISS leg will now start June 5 in Birmingham, England. KISS are due to play in the U.S. at Sonic Temple Festival before heading across the pond.

Travel and equipment complications were also said to contribute to the cancelation. Fans with tickets will be able to get a refund, or can exchange their ticket for one of the KISS shows in Birmingham, Newcastle, London, Manchester or Glasgow.

Crown Princess Victoria of Sweden Perfectly Curtsies to Queen Mary of Denmark — Inside the New Royal Rules

There's a key reason Queen Mary no longer needs to curtsy

Crown Princess Victoria of Sweden had a flawless curtsy for the newly-minted Queen Mary of Denmark!

On May 6, Queen Mary and King Frederik of Denmark arrived in Stockholm, Sweden for the first official state visit of the new royal reign. King Frederik, 55, became monarch on Jan. 14 when his mother, Queen Margrethe , abdicated on the 52nd anniversary of her accession, sparking a protocol overhaul.

As seen in a video that the Danish Royal House shared on Instagram , Crown Princess Victoria, 46, dipped into a curtsy when she greeted King Frederik and Queen Mary, 52, before they boarded the historic royal barge to sail to Skeppsbron with Victoria’s husband Prince Daniel . While Crown Princess Victoria is the future Queen of Sweden, she briefly bent a knee as a gesture of respect — something Queen Mary no longer needs to do !

When she was Crown Princess Mary, the Australian-born royal was known for her deep curtsies when greeting mother-in-law Queen Margrethe as well as other monarchs and consorts from around the world. Now that she's Queen, Mary does not have to curtsy to monarchs or other consorts but may choose to do so as a sign of respect.

In a subtle sign of her elevated status, Queen Mary greeted Queen Silvia of Sweden with a hug and kiss on each cheek instead of a curtsy as she likely would have in the past when they debarked in Skeppsbron. King Frederik and King Carl XVI Gustaf of Sweden, meanwhile, greeted each other with a warm handshake at the kickoff of the state visit. 

The Danish and Swedish royal families are known to share a close relationship, and King Frederik even affectionately addressed his hosts as "dear Uncle Carl Gustaf and dear Aunt Silvia" in his speech that followed the ceremonial welcome at the Royal Palace, per a translation . In another family tie, Crown Princess Victoria is also the godmother to Fredeirk and Mary’s eldest son, Crown Prince Christian , and attended his 18th birthday bash in October 2023.

King Frederik and Queen Mary’s official visit to Sweden also starts a major tour of the Northern region following their accession, which continues with a state visit to Norway from May 14 to May 1. There are also tentative plans for official visits to the Faroe Islands and Greenland, which are both in the kingdom of Denmark, between June and July. 

"The first state visits will provide the occasion for the new King and Queen to meet with the sovereigns in Sweden and Norway, and they will thus mark the close relations between the Nordic monarchies, the Danish Royal House said in a statement announcing the agenda in February.

The busy itinerary of the first day of state visit to Sweden also a lunch, meetings with government leaders for King Frederik and Queen Mary and a visit to the Royal Institute of Technology to highlight space exploration and technology.

Continuing tradition, the first day of the royal stay was capped with a glam state banquet at the Royal Palace, which came with tiara wear for Queen Mary, Queen Silvia, 80, Crown Princess Victoria and Princess Sofia.

Lied’s 2024-25 highlights include 'annie,' itzhak perlman, abba tribute.

2 days ago · 11 min read

Lied’s 2024-25 highlights include ‘Annie,’ Itzhak Perlman, ABBA  tribute

The Lied Center for Performing Arts’ 2024-25 season will feature more than 35 events, including top artists and ensembles from around the world in dance, classical music, jazz, musical theater, comedy, family entertainment and illusion.

“The thrilling 35th anniversary season at the Lied is a celebration for all of Nebraska,” said Bill Stephan, the Lied’s executive director. “From the stunning power of world-renowned ensembles such as the Czech National Symphony Orchestra and Parsons Dance, to the return of Lied audience favorites such as Itzhak Perlman and Preservation Hall Jazz Band, to the Nebraska premiere of ‘Back to the Future: The Musical,’ to the world-premiere play ‘A House Divided’ featuring the Lincoln White House, there truly is something for everyone. Other highlights include ‘Disney’s The Little Mermaid’ and ‘Encanto: The Live Sing-Along Concert,’ the ABBA celebration Arrival From Sweden and the premiere tour of the new musical ‘Mystic Pizza.’”

“Create Your Own Season” packages go on sale at 11 a.m. May 14 online , by phone at 402-472-4747 and at the Lied Center box office, 301 N. 12th St. To become a subscriber, patrons can select any five or more shows in the season and receive a discount of 20% off the entire order.

The Lied Center’s 2023-24 schedule:

• Aaron Watson , Sept. 6, 7:30 p.m. — For more than 20 years, Watson has toured the country as an underdog troubadour — an independent artist with the spirit of the American frontier in his veins. He has had five top-10 albums on Billboard’s country album chart and was the first independent male artist to debut at No. 1 on that chart. Watson’s hits include “Outta Style,” “That Look,” “July in Cheyenne,” “Freight Train” and “Kiss That Girl Goodbye.”
• “A House Divided,” Sept. 17-22, Johnny Carson Theater (six performances) — The Lied Center presents the world premiere of “A House Divided,” a new play by Christina Kirk. Based on real events, the work examines the distressing choices faced by President Abraham Lincoln during a week in 1863 when Mary Todd Lincoln’s half-sister, Emilie Todd Helm, visits the White House. Helm, a fiercely loyal Confederate, refuses to pledge allegiance to the Union when trying to cross the border to return to Kentucky after her Confederate husband’s death in battle. Unsure of what else to do, Lincoln suggests the soldiers send her to the White House.
• “Dear Evan Hansen,” Sept. 27-29 (five performances) — Described as “one of the most remarkable shows in musical theater history” by The Washington Post and “an anthem resonating on Broadway and beyond” by NBC Nightly News, the Tony- and Grammy-winning “Dear Evan Hansen” is one of the first contemporary musicals about connection in the digital age. Packed with such hits as “You Will Be Found,” “Waving Through a Window” and “For Forever,” the musical features an uplifting score by the Tony-, Grammy- and Oscar-winning team behind “The Greatest Showman,” Benj Pasek and Justin Paul, and a book by Tony Award winner Steven Levenson.

• “Step Afrika! The Migration,” Oct. 3, 7:30 p.m. — After thrilling Lied audiences in 2021, Step Afrika! returns with lightning-fast footwork, percussive chants and incredible synchronicity, creating a heart-pounding experience that celebrates the African American tradition of stepping. Based on Jacob Lawrence’s iconic paintings “The Migration Series,” this powerful new work tells the story of Black migrants moving out of the South in the early 1900s
• “Back to the Future: The Musical,” Oct. 8-13 (eight performances) — Great Scott! The 1985 cinematic classic is now a Broadway musical with its destination set for Lincoln in 2024. When Marty McFly finds himself transported back to 1955 in a time machine built by eccentric scientist Doc Brown, he accidentally changes the course of history. Now, he’s in a race against time to fix the present, escape the past and send himself … back to the future. The production won the 2022 Olivier Award for best new musical.
