KISS Cancel First Gig of European 2023 ‘End of the Road’ Tour 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.

GET KISS TICKETS

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.

A Home Park rep added, "We are really sorry to hear that KISS can no longer perform at Home Park Stadium this summer. Ticket holders are advised to contact the agent they purchased their tickets from."
