KISS and MOTLEY CRUE are uniting to launch THE TOUR of 2012. The summer's rock tour will visit 40+ cities nationwide starting July 20^th.

Citi® cardmembers will also have access to presale tickets beginning Wednesday, March 21st at 2pm local time through Citi's Private Pass® Program. For complete presale details visit www.citiprivatepass.com.

With combined album sales of almost 200 million, KISS and MOTLEY CRUE are more than just iconic; they remain today as the dominant powerhouses of rock music tallying 30+ chart-topping hits, countless sold out tours and awards and accolades from around the world, press notes state. Known for their elaborate stage shows, each band plans to give fans the ultimate summer concert experience with the impressive lighting and sound production and their signature over-the-top pyrotechnics. This is the first time KISS and MOTLEY CRUE will share a stage since 1982.

KISS consists of Paul Stanley, Gene Simmons, Tommy Thayer and Eric Singer. MOTLEY CRUE consists of Vince Neil, Mick Mars, Nikki Sixx and Tommy Lee.

These veterans of the music business are still at the height of their popularity. KISS has 3,000 licensed merchandise products, including the KISS golf course in Las Vegas and a new album. KISS has broken box office records set by The Beatles and Elvis. MOTLEY CRUE is the first rock band in history to have just completed a sold-out Las Vegas residency at The Joint at Hard Rock Hotel & Casino. The band is best known for continuing to reinvent not only their live show (with mind blowing elements such as Tommy Lee's 360 drum roller coaster) and music (brand new song due out this spring), but remain on the cutting edge via social media interaction. MOTLEY CRUE's New York Times bestselling book The Dirt is currently being adapted into a major motion picture. Last month, the band was featured in one of the highest rated Super Bowl ads of all time for the KIA Optima.
