damKISS said goodbye… and now they’re saying just one more time. In a move that has detonated rock Twitter and sent the nostalgia economy into overdrive, ISS La Banda — the iconic ecosystem around KISS’s legacy — has officially confirmed the “End of the Road 2.0” Reunion Tour for 2026. Paul Stanley and Gene Simmons are teaming up once again with Eric Singer and Tommy Thayer to deliver what is being billed as the final-final ride, promising a production that “brings back the blood, the fire, the levitation, and the insanity—louder, bigger and meaner than the first farewell.”
Yes, the suits are getting zipped again. Yes, the boots are coming back out of storage. And yes — you will hear the classics exactly the way you remember them. Alongside the announcement came the first wave of teasers: preliminary cities include New York, Los Angeles, Tokyo, London, São Paulo, Madrid, Toronto, and Sydney, with “an aggressive slate of 40+ dates planned across 5 continents.” A full schedule is expected to roll out in phases starting January 2025.
But that wasn’t even the biggest shock — fans were also fed a sly setlist tease. Among the “guaranteed” comeback tracks:
• “Detroit Rock City”
• “I Was Made For Lovin’ You”
• “Love Gun”
• “God of Thunder”
• “Rock and Roll All Nite” (as the closer — non-negotiable)
More intriguing? A cryptic hint that deep-cuts may rotate nightly, with Simmons hinting at “old tracks we haven’t touched in 30, 40 years finally getting daylight again.” Hardcore fans are already speculating online that “War Machine,” “Parasite,” and “Unholy” could resurface.
Paul Stanley framed the tour as “a bookend to the most explosive live legacy in rock,” while Gene Simmons, in classic Gene fashion, simply said: “You asked for it. You get it. Don’t cry when it ends.”
Whether you believe in final tours or not, one thing is certain: 2026 just became the year of one last fire-breathing curtain call. Tickets are expected to vanish on contact. Get your face paint ready — the circus is coming back one last time, and when this curtain drops… it drops forever.
