Throwback Concert: KISS at The XFINITY Theatre 2000

Remember the KISS Farewell Tour? No, not the one they’re on now, but the LAST one!

That “Farewell Tour” was 20 years ago this summer. Can you believe it? Though KISS really didn’t retire after the tour, this was their final tour with the original lineup.

Today we look back to that tour and the night KISS came to Hartford with special guests Skid Row and Ted Nugent.
