Changes

This tour took place between September and December in order to support the [[The Trilogy|trilogy ]] of ''[[Not The Actual Events]]'', ''[[Add Violence]]'' and ''[[Bad Witch]]''. It is part of the [[NIN 2017-2018]] touring cycle. Main support for this tour was [[The Jesus and Mary Chain]], who were supported by [[Nine Inch Nails]] during the 1990 [[Automatic Tour]]. Additional opening acts who took the stage ahead of The Jesus and Mary Chain were [[Related_bands_and_artists#Tobacco|Tobacco]], [[Related_bands_and_artists#Kite_Base|Kite Base]], [[Related_bands_and_artists#Daniel_Avery|Daniel Avery]], [[Related_bands_and_artists#Death_In_Vegas|Death In Vegas]], [[Related_bands_and_artists#Gabe_Gurnsey|Gabe Gurnsey]], [[Related_bands_and_artists#HMLTD|HMLTD]], and [[Related_bands_and_artists#The_Soft_Moon|The Soft Moon]].
==Line-Up==
==Stage Set-Up==
To [[Image:2018tour1.jpg|thumb|Photo credit: Jonathan Rach]][[Image:2018tour2.jpg|thumb|Photo credit: Jonathan Rach]]This touring cycle had a stripped down, back-to-basics approach, similar to that of the [[Performance 2007]] and [[Wave Goodbye Tour|Wave Goodbye]] tours. Reznor stated that he had bowed out of the "arms-race" of concert technology and wanted to bring an element of danger and unpredictability. Behind the band was a scrim, and very basic lighting was used. Smoke machines were able to be announcedused, as no elaborate visual elements would be interfered with. The looseness of production allowed for setlists for the overall cycle to be notably spontaneous. An aesthetic element was added with strands of recording tape hanging from mic stands, keyboard stands, and drum structures. This harked back to the [[Nine Inch Nails music videos|music video]] for "[[Head Like A Hole (song)|Head Like A Hole]]", the [[Hate Tour]], and certain portions of the [[Self Destruct Touring Cycle]].
==Typical Setlist==
The tour had a significant variety in the setlist; however, there were a few regular occurrences:
* "[[Head Like A Hole (song)|Head Like A Hole]]" ended the main set, with "[[Hurt (song)|Hurt]]" being the last song played.
* Most shows had a three song passage from ''Bad Witch'': "[[Shit Mirror]]", "[[Ahead Of Ourselves]]", and "[[God Break Down The Door]]".
The penultimate show in Los Angeles featured a guest appearance by [[Mike Garson]] on "[[Just Like You Imagined]]", "[[On The Wing]]", "[[La Mer]]", and a stripped-down rendition of "[[In This Twilight]]". [[Mariqueen Maandig]] appeared as a guest on both "On The Wing" and a later performance of "[[Ice Age]]". [[Gary Numan]] also performed his song "[[Metal]]" towards the end of the show.
The final show featured three How To Destroy Angels covers, again featuring Mariqueen Maandig: "[[BBB]]", "[[Welcome Oblivion (song)|Welcome Oblivion]]" and "Ice Age". Mike Garson again appeared to perform the traditional song "[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greensleeves [Greensleeves]]", "Just Like You Imagined" and "La Mer".
