The stage setup for this tour was somewhat basic. An onstage lighting detail was provided by very tall columns with a single spotlight atop each one. There was a large draped fabric backdrop (apparently made of rubber) and chunks of linen-like fabric hung across the top of the stage structure. There was also a three -piece scrim at the front of the stage that would be pulled away during the first song. The drums and main keyboard were both on large wooden risers with fake blood stains.
This was the first NIN tour to feature a projection screen for three slow songs in the middle of the show, in this case "[[Eraser]]," "[[Hurt (song)|Hurt]]," and "[[The Downward Spiral (song)|The Downward Spiral]]." "Eraser" was accompanied by visuals of the desert, "Hurt" by compiled stock footage of various bleak imagery such as war atrocities and decaying animals, and "The Downward Spiral" by a visual of a wall that is made to appear doused in blood during the song's climax.
