The Kiss Alive/35 World Tour was a concert tour by Kiss to celebrate Kiss's 35th anniversary. It was the band's first major tour since the Rock the Nation World Tour in 2004. On the tour, Kiss played in New Zealand for the first time since the Alive/Worldwide Tour in 1997, as well as performing in Europe for the first time since the Psycho Circus World Tour in 1998–1999. Kiss wore Destroyer-themed costumes for the tour, and on the European leg the majority of the songs played were on Alive!. The tour was highly successful and proved to be Kiss's biggest tour of Europe. This tour marked the first time Kiss visited Bulgaria, Greece, Latvia, Russia, Luxembourg, Colombia, Peru and Venezuela.
Three legs and 38 shows were announced. Kiss headlined the Download [1], Graspop Metal Meeting and Arrow Rock [2] festivals in Europe as part of the tour.
The tour began on March 16 at the Melbourne Grand Prix Circuit in Melbourne, Australia. The European leg started on May 9 in the König Pilsener Arena in Oberhausen, Germany. The Latin America leg started on April 3 in Chile. The tour ended on December 13, 2009 in Pittsburgh after the December 15, 2009 concert in Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario was postponed until summer 2010 due to inclement weather. The tour went on to gross $30,500,000 and play to over 385,000 fans in sold-out arenas from October to December 2009. Gene Simmons stated that part of the tour's success could be attributed to the success of his hit television show, Gene Simmons Family Jewels.
