The legendary band Kiss returns to Prague. Probably the last time
Almost fifty years of flamboyant glam rock, bizarre masks, sticking out tongues and spraying artificial blood. This and much more has been accomplished by the legendary American group Kiss, who will terrorize Prague again on Wednesday.

During their last stop in the Czech Republic three years ago, the Kiss band already announced that it was their last tour. Since then, the covid pandemic has swept across the planet. Russia started a war with Ukraine, but some things don’t change even if the world ends. The iconic foursome in creepy costumes are still here, ready to destroy domestic audiences once again as part of their End Of The Road World Tour.

The performance in Prague’s O2 Arena on Wednesday, July 13 will be in the style of the breakthrough album Dynasty from 1979, on which the group presented their biggest hit, I Was Made For Lovin’ You. At that time, a million copies were sold (in total, these dark showmen have sold a hundred million records).

Definitely the last concert “Kissac” want to play this summer in New York – in the city from where they started their victorious musical campaign in 1973.
“It seems logical to us to end up where we got together and where we started playing after parties to about ten audiences,” says 70-year-old singer Paul Stanley.
Bassist Gene Simons aka Demon or Dr. Meanwhile, Love (simply the one with the longest tongue) appeased the army of people who never liked this bombastic group, which benefited too much from pop tinsel. “That’s okay,” he stated, “Jesus wasn’t popular with everyone either.”
Holders of two records
No matter what anyone thinks about the glam rock circus of painted monsters called Kiss, they can’t be denied. They know exactly how to sell themselves to fans, they perfectly manage merchandising and, after all, they also know how to sing and act.

They certainly don’t neglect their fans – they have been in Bohemia and Moravia alone ten times since their comeback in 1996. In 2020, Kiss broadcast their first live New Year’s Eve concert from a beach in Dubai.
And the Guinness Book of Records reports that they have at least two firsts: the most flames of any rock show in the world and the tallest column of fire, reaching up to 73 meters high.
