(2006)The Rock The Nation World Tour was a concert tour by the hard rock group Kiss. Also on this tour was Poison, which was the opening act. It marked the return of Eric Singer on the drums who once again replaced Peter Criss whose contract was not renewed by Gene and Paul. The tour did not pull in a lot of money. In 58 shows the Rock The Nation Tour grossed a lowly $8 million. Poor ticket sales in America haulted Kiss from a tour they were planning for 2005. Strong ticket sales were in Australia, Japan and Mexico. In America Kiss sold only 49% of available tickets, with an average show gross of $304,417. It was the last tour until the 2008 KISS Alive/35 World Tour.
