The Final Curtain show was initiated via a national petition, with passionate KISS fans pleading for the band to return to play one more show in Australia before they bring their incredible touring career to an end with their final-ever performance at Madison Square Garden in New York City on 2 December 2023.

KISS frontman Paul Stanley said: "Australia you have made your voices loud enough that it was impossible for us not to hear you! We are overwhelmed by your petitions and calls for one last KISS so we are now announcing that The End Of The Road will detour one last time to Sydney for a final bombastic farewell. As unexpected as this is for us, we will make it unforgettable for all who share the night with us."

TEG Group CEO Geoff Jones said "TEG is incredibly excited to be able to bring this iconic and legendary band back to Australia for one last time. As the only country to receive an additional last-ever show, it speaks to the power of the band's passionate Australian fan base and TEG's commitment to delivering the shows that fans demand. This final exclusive stadium show at Accor Stadium is sure to be a monumental goodbye for KISS fans from across Australia."

One World Entertainment CEO Andrew McManus hinted that fans may see a concert for the ages at Accor Stadium on Saturday 7 October.

"My journey of over 22 years with KISS continues for one, final, huge and explosive event, I can't call it a concert as this is going to be so much more," he said.

"Now adding WEEZER as 'special guests', I'm proud to continue my partnership with the great folks at TEG and deliver what will be The Final Curtain and Goodbye which promises to have a few amazing surprises.

"All I can say is . . . don't miss the final bow!"

KISSteria well and truly took over Australia in 1980 after their first-ever tour here, resulting in a deep & lasting connection between the band and their fans. The sold-out Unmasked Tour broke all kinds of records. Four decades on, KISS has continued their love affair with Australia, whilst gaining new fans across multiple generations along the way.

The sold-out End of the Road tour in November last year received blistering reviews and proved, yet again, why KISS are the most iconic live show in the world.

It's only fitting that they perform their final ever Australian show at Accor Stadium - the home of Sydney's major events. It will be bigger, louder, hotter, and crazier than ever before.

Come and celebrate THE FINAL CURTAIN with the hottest band that gave rock 'n roll to us!
