The nine Canadian stops include Rogers Arena in Vancouver, Nov. 8, Rogers Place in Edmonton, Nov. 10, and Scotiabank Saddledome in Calgary, Nov. 12.
You could also head to Seattle, Nov. 6, to catch the rockers at Climate Pledge Arena.
The band is currently made up of original members Paul Stanley and Gene Simmons as well as Eric Singer and Tommy Thayer.
Their best-known songs include “Rock and Roll All Nite,” "I Was Made for Lovin’ You" and “Detroit Rock City.”
Tickets will go on sale to the public on March 10 at Live Nation.
