People who love us, come to see us. If you\u2019ve never seen us, this is the time. This will be THE show.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-paragraph wp-block\">\n<p class=\"has-normal-font-size\">The End of the Road World Tour is indeed THE show as it features a dynamic design\u2014a true KISS rock show\u2014from Sooner Routhier and Robert Long, who have served as production designers for KISS since 2013. The tour kicked off on January 31, 2019 at the Rogers Arena in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada and has dates currently scheduled in North America, Europe, and Oceania through the end of 2020. Working closely with production manager Chad Guy, Solotech\u2019s video team is supporting the tour with video equipment including LED video screens, cameras, control, and crewing.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-heading wp-block\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Never-ending Support on the Road<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-paragraph wp-block\">\n<p class=\"has-normal-font-size\"><em>\u201cOn this tour, KISS can play up to five nights a week,\u201d<\/em> commented Bob Brigham, General Manager of Solotech in DeKalb, IL, whose team is overseeing the KISS tour. <em>\u201cThe show is the largest the band has ever toured with and the major challenge was to be able to set up the show quickly and take it down quicker, then move on to the next city. The tour is receiving well-deserved critical acclaim as the best KISS show ever. KISS and their manager Doc McGhee have always been wonderful to work with, and we especially enjoy working with Robert Long and Sooner Routhier in supporting their brilliant design.
