If you’re looking for a safe stay-at-home New Year’s Eve viewing option that doesn’t include having to be subjected to Ryan Seacrest or Carson Daly, here are some suggestions:
KISS will blow out 2020 in Dubai. KISS Goodbye 2020 will stream live in the U.S. Thursday at Noon ET, and tickets to watch it aren’t cheap — they start at $40 and go all the way up to $1000 for a bundle that has “14 exclusive and limited-edition items” including a Blu-ray of the concert.
