KISS have announced a farewell world tour titled "End of the Road".

It’s expected to run for three years, starting on 31 January 2019 in Vancouver and ending on 13 April in Birmingham, Alabama. The band confirmed it would be their final live tour on America’s Got Talent.

“All that we have built and all that we have conquered over the past four decades could never have happened without the millions of people worldwide who’ve filled clubs, arenas and stadiums over those years,” KISS said in a statement.

“This will be the ultimate celebration for those who’ve seen us and a last chance for those who haven’t. KISS Army, we’re saying goodbye on our final tour with our biggest show yet and we’ll go out the same way we came in. ... Unapologetic and unstoppable.”

There will be five dates in the UK: Birmingham, London, Manchester, Newcastle, and Glasgow. Presale tickets will be available to the band’s official fan club, the KISS Army; membership costs $50 a year and subscription includes a KISS Army t-shirt, pin, merchandise discounts, and pre-sale access.

KISS Army members will be able to access presale and VIP Package deals from 10am on 30 October. Tickets go on general sale at 10am on Friday 2 November.

Got sweaty palms already? Check out our handy tips for dealing with the demand:

1) Make sure you are ready and waiting with the web page up at least five minutes before 9am.

2) Do not let your computer, phone or whatever device holds the key to your happiness run out of battery.

3) Register your details with the website you are booking from in advance, if you can, but don’t panic if you haven’t left enough time as your tickets will be held while you fill out your information

4) Check how many tickets you are allowed to buy in one purchase. If you try to buy more than the limited number, your booking may be cancelled without notice, meaning no-one gets to go.

5) Get your friends to try too, but stay in contact in case you all succeed and end up with a bunch of tickets you didn’t want. If you do need to sell any on, do so at face value. No-one likes a tout.

6) Be patient and avoid refreshing or switching between browsers. Stick with one tab and have some faith! Be prepared to wait for an hour to get tickets
