Revision as of 04:19, 15 February 2019

This tour took place between July and December in order to support the Not The Actual Events and Add Violence EPs. It is part of the NIN 2017-2018 touring cycle. These are the first Nine Inch Nails shows since the NIN 2013-2014 touring cycle.

Line-Up

Alessandro Cortini: Keyboards, guitar, bass, backing vocals
Robin Finck: Guitar, Keyboards, backing vocals
Trent Reznor: Vocals, guitar, keyboards
Atticus Ross: Keyboards, samples, programming, backing vocals
Ilan Rubin: Drums, keyboards, backing vocals

Stage Set-Up

This touring cycle had a stripped down, back-to-basics approach, similar to that of the Wave Goodbye Tour in 2009. Reznor stated that he had bowed out of the "arms-race" of concert technology and wanted to bring an element of danger and unpredictabliity. Behind the band was a scrim, and very basic lighting was used. Smoke machines were able to be used, as no elaborate visual elements would be interfered with. The looseness of production allowed for setlists for the overall cycle to be notably spontaneous.

Typical Setlist

"The Fireman" (set intro music played over PA)
"Branches/Bones"
"Wish"
"Less Than"
"March Of The Pigs"
"Piggy" / "Something I Can Never Have"

"Reptile" (first half of tour)
"The Great Destroyer"
"Burning Bright (Field On Fire)"
"The Hand That Feeds"
"Head Like A Hole"
--encore--
