The '''Lights In The Sky Tour''' was a [[Tour|tour]] that took place between July and December 2008 in North America and South America in support of ''[[Ghosts I-IV]]'' and ''[[The Slip]]''. It was also essentially supporting ''[[Year Zero]]'' for the audiences it reached, as the [[Performance 2007]] tour had not covered those parts of the world. This was only the second NIN tour to reach South America.
==Announcements==
On March 27, 2008, after much speculation, [[Nine Inch Nails]] announced a series of North American tour dates. A statement from [[Trent Reznor]] accompanied the announcement:
<blockquote>Lots going on in the world of nine inch nails...
Among these effects were a static-like visual used for "[[Only (song)|Only]]", during which Reznor's movements could break the effect as if the lights were a physical barrier; a feed from a camera trained on Reznor during "[[The Greater Good]]" and "[[Closer]]" that created a surreal, almost 3D image of his face across the stage as he sang; and a large scale re-creation of a drum machine touch screen for Josh Freese to use during "[[Echoplex]]".
==Setlists==
Due to the tour being very production-heavy, the setlists were reasonably static. Many songs from ''The Slip'' and ''Year Zero'' were played, with "[[God Given]]", "[[Vessel]]" and "[[Meet Your Master]]" making their live debuts. Each show also featured a mini-set comprised of a rotating selection of songs from ''Ghosts I-IV'', which always concluded with a version of "[[Piggy]]" that had been reworked to evoke the feel of the ''Ghosts'' instrumentation. Though it was not played in full, an instrumental portion of "[[Zero-Sum]]" was tagged onto the end of set closer "[[In This Twilight]]".
