This was the first arena tour for Nine Inch Nails since the [[Tension 2013 Tour]]. The headlining shows featured two stages, with the B-stage being located in the middle of the arena floor, surrounded on all four sides by the audience. The elevated B-stage had two staircases opposite each other, accessed via a floor pathway created by security. During the Boys Noize opening act set, the B-stage was shrouded by a curtain on all sides, which then dropped to transition to the first act of the show, revealing a three station setup: a digital piano for Reznor, a mixing console for Ross, and a keyboard and mixing station for Cortini. It could also accommodate walking room for Finck to join them on-stage to play guitar for "Piggy (Nothing Can Stop Me Now)". Simple lighting was provided by an overhead rig and an array of lights along the whole perimeter of the stage. A handheld followspot was used on Reznor for "Piggy". When not in use, the instrument stations were lowered inside the B-stage, for less obstructed views of the main stage.
