KISS Postpones Last-Ever Concert in LA Due To "Unforeseen Scheduling Issues" (Trump in LA too!)
iHeart Radio ^ | 9/6/19 | Andrew Magnotta

Posted on 09/06/2019 11:04:36 AM PDT by SilvieWaldorfMD

KISS's September 20 concert at the Staples Center in Los Angeles has been postponed until March 4, 2020, due to what the band called "unforeseen scheduling issues," in a statement.

Tickets bought for the September 20 date will be valid for the rescheduled date.

Kiss is currently on its 'End of the Road' farewell world tour. The Staples Center concert was supposed to serve as the band's North American finale.

One wouldn't expect "scheduling" of all things to cause a postponement on an iconic artist's farewell tour, but as long as everyone's healthy, no one should be complaining.

Kiss will be heading to the Pacific for shows in Australia, New Zealand and Japan this fall. The band has yet to announce its other touring plans for 2020.

The band announced the 'End of the Road' tour in 2018, noting that it planned to visit every city that supported the band over the last 45-plus years.

So KISS postpones the last show of their End of the Road Farewell Tour, to take place at LA’s Staples Center on Friday, Sept. 20th, to March 4th due to an “unforeseen scheduling conflict”. President Trump will be in SF, LA & SD during those days. Coincidence??

There may be an overlap between Kiss performers and Trump donors...

My guess is “Yes”, Dilly.

“Unforeseen Scheduling Issues” is what they called it. It’s freakin’ KISS, ok? Their staff are a bunch of sticklers for precise schedules & itineraries (starting with Gene & Paul) and Paul sometimes takes pics of the daily schedules and posts them on his Facebook page. Something’s UP!

Might take Six months to get Ace and Peter in shape for one final show with the Four originals.

I have tickets for the show. Or should I say “had”. Kinda good in a way because parking it’s a total rip-off..

I follow Ace on Facebook and his team does a good job in keeping us abreast of what he's doing. He's had a series of concerts over the summer - and continuing this month - in small venues all over the country and the one thing that people have been posting about after every concert is that he's been as DRUNK AS A SKUNK during the concerts but that he's a Guitar God.

I personally think that the best Kiss songs are Ace's songs.

I went to their Farewell Tour in 1999 - and I was 8 months pregnant. Twenty years later, my son is in college and the band is still saying their ‘Goodbyes’! LOL!

It could be if Trump will be hosting an event at an arena.

They could get replacements, and just have them wear the makeup, nobody would know the difference.

Although I’d love to see the auditions when they ask the potential member to stick out his tongue.

Bummer. Took me a long time to see them. But I finally splurged for floor seats like 15 years ago. Sat right next to this weird platform in about row 25. Then Ace flies out to the platform on a cable and does “Rock and Roll All Night” solo as we stared up at his boots and got mobbed by folks behind us. Got to feel the heat from the flames as well. Great time!

In late ‘76 or was it early ‘77, I was doing sound for a band who ended up in Lakeland, Fla. As we passed the Civic Center we saw the band bus parked out front so we pulled in to see what we could see. We met the band costume free. It turned out that Tommy Bolin from their opening act, the James Gang had od’d the night before in Miami. They were complaining that now they would have to play the whole show solo for the same contracted $10,000. I never saw $10K at the same time in my life until this decade! LOL
