The Kissworld Tour was a concert tour by the American rock band Kiss.[1] The tour marked the return of the Creatures of the Night costumes which had previously been seen on the sixth annual Kiss Kruise.

In the tour program for the band's final tour, both Thayer and Singer reflected on the tour:

Reception

Ben Siegel from The Buffalo News described the Niagara Falls concert as "These guys are insane entertainers. They’re intense. They’re flammable. Simmons’s mouth, and that infamously long tongue of his, drip with (stage) blood. They own this genre of hard rock. They invented it."[3]
