The Tour (2012) Monster World Tour (2012-13)

The Monster World Tour is a concert tour by the American hard rock group Kiss in support of their 20th studio album Monster, which was released worldwide on October 9, 2012. Fresh off the heels of the recent success of The Tour with Mötley Crüe and the third annual Kiss Kruise, the tour officially began on November 7, 2012 in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Kiss played shows in Australia, and festivals in Europe in June. Kiss will be playing their longest Canadian tour to date in July through early August with secondary US market concerts following after. It has been hinted that another United States leg, including Hawaii will take place after the Kiss Kruise. The new Kiss stage show, first used in the European leg, will involve a giant robotic spider that will move across the stage and all four members will be lifted into the air. Also, the spider will shoot pyro from it's legs and its eyes will glow. The stage will be 100 percent new and not a rehashed stage where the amps and stairs are simply moved around and then called a new stage. Instead of being hoisted into the air per usual at 8 feet per second, Gene is now going to be up to double that amount of time and will be using a new type of tether that is see through.
