{{expand}}In the winter of 1990–91, [[Nine Inch Nails]] embarked on their second headlining North American tour. The tour is part of the [[Pretty Hate Machine Tour]] series. Opening acts were [[Related bands and artists#Chemlab|Chemlab]], [[Related bands and artists#Die Warzau|Die Warzau]], The Adults, Grotus, Fixed Image, Sweat Engine, and Ethyl Meatplow.
''Coming soonThe setup for this tour had an industrial aesthetic, and used basic lighting and fog machines. There was also a gate/cage-like structure made of metal pipe that went across the stage, separating the drum riser area from the rest of the band. The drum riser was hollow with a metal grate on the front, and some of the lighting was placed inside. A lighting truss was set up at the front of the stage, from which was hung three chains, much like the ropes that hung down during the [[Hate Tour]]. Reznor had a handheld spotlight that he would use during "[[Down In It (song)|Down In It]]".''
