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 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 , rustic 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.
