It’s a glorious time to be a goth, rivethead or leather-drenched 90’s sleazeball — Nine Inch Nails is touring again.
American industrial rock band Nine Inch Nails, headed by legendary multi-instrumentalists Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross, recently announced the 2025 “Peel It Back” tour set to span across Canada, Europe and the United States.
This will be the band’s first tour since 2022, which featured a short run of cities across the US and UK.
Nine Inch Nails, first concieved in 1988, was the solo project of Trent Reznor, whose pulsating rhythms and acerbic lyricism straddled the line between the ascetic and hedonic.
Infused with a rough industrial slant, the works of NIN quickly solidified a unique, sensuous style.
The project’s debut album, “Pretty Hate Machine,” became one of the first indie records to go platinum, kickstarting Reznor’s prolific musical career.
He performed as the sole member of NIN until Atticus Ross officially joined in 2016, with the pair going on to produce award-winning scores for films like “The Social Network” and “The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo.”
The tour will kick off June 15 in Dublin, Ireland and end Sept. 19 in Los Angeles.
The band is set to rock Raleigh Sept. 5 at Lenovo Center, located just a short drive from NC State campus.
While no information has been made available about possible setlists, it’s likely NIN will be pulling straight from the classics. For both long-time fans and newbies, it’s certain to be a wild event.
