Kiss to play one final Detroit show in the city that embraced the band first

When Kiss recently announced the final concert dates of the band’s career, one market was conspicuously missing from the list: Detroit Rock City.

Now, justice is served. Kiss will play Little Caesars Arena on Oct. 20, six weeks before the band calls it a wrap with a pair of hometown shows at New York’s Madison Square Garden.

The veteran hard-rock-glam band, which broke big in Michigan in the 1970s well before its success elsewhere, announced the LCA show Thursday morning.

The Detroit show is one of four dates added to the homestretch of Kiss’s End of the Road Tour, which will wrap up Dec. 1-2 at MSG, capping a 50-year concert career.

Tickets for the Oct. 20 Kiss show at Little Caesars Arena will go on sale April 7, following presales for Kiss Army members (starting 10 a.m. April 3).

Concerts in Nashville (Oct. 23), St. Louis (Oct. 25) and Fort Worth, Texas (Oct. 27) were also announced Thursday, joining the run of shows unveiled in early March as Kiss marches toward its December finale.
