THE ANNOUNCEMENT
KISS is skipping the streaming giants entirely: 'Kiss: End Of The Road' premieres as a live global stream on KissOnline.com, with the band's own site and tech partner Kiswe handling it before it goes anywhere else ‡. The promo pitch is unusually honest for this band, promising health scares, technical failures and tensions alongside the triumphs *, †. It arrives four days after a Vegas weekend that includes an all-star tribute to Ace Frehley, who died in October 2025 ‡.
THE DETAILS
- Premieres November 19 as a live streaming event on KissOnline.com, presented by Mercury Studios, the same outfit that streamed Ozzy Osbourne's final show in 2025 ‡
- Directed by DJ Viola, produced by Leslie Greif through Big Dreams Entertainment and Elemeno Productions ‡
- Pre-orders start at $14.99 with regional pricing, plus a seven-day viewing window after the premiere ‡
- Also sold via Video on Demand alone or bundled with a t-shirt or a 'Kiss Rocks Vegas' steelbook *, †
- KISS VIP and KISS Army members get exclusive discount codes ‡
- Covers the 250-show run that began January 2019 and ended December 2, 2023 at Madison Square Garden †, ‡
- Sneak peek screens at 'Kiss Kruise: Land-Locked In Vegas', November 13-15 at Virgin Hotels Las Vegas ‡
WHY IT MATTERS
FAREWELL: this is the document of an actual ending, with Gene Simmons saying in the trailer, "There are plenty of bands out there who have stayed on stage too long. That's not going to happen to us." *, † What surprises here is the delivery, a band that sold its entire brand to Pophouse in 2024 choosing to premiere its own goodbye on its own website instead of a streaming service ‡.
