The Tour (Kiss and Mötley Crüe)

The Tour was a co-headlining summer tour between American hard rock and heavy metal bands Kiss and Mötley Crüe. The tour, described as "Elvis on steroids" by Paul Stanley, was announced on March 20 and started on July 20, 2012 in Bristow, Virginia. At first, 40 dates were announced while the August 5 concert at AT&T Center and the August 1 concert at KFC Yum! Center were subsequently added. "The Tour" was listed by the Rolling Stone as one of "The Ten Hottest Summer Package Tours of 2012". The Treatment was the opening act for all shows.

In the tour program for Kiss' final tour, Singer reflected on the tour: "Chemistry is a unique thing. Bands are like soup: Sometimes when you change the ingredients, even though it's still chicken soup, you put a little more chicken stock or vegetable it changes the flavor. To me, I think the flavor of Kiss has a pretty good taste to it. We have the unique ingredients to it like some of the old tried-and-true original sound but we also have some zestiness and spice that Tommy and I provide with the ability to basically play any songs that are required. I think the fact that Tommy and I have a history of being weaned on Kiss is something we bring to the table that helps the band retain some of its vintage sound. We try to keep the essence and the vibe of the original songs in there but there's still a little bit of an extra twist that we give it. We give it a little bit more horsepower."
