==Festival Tour==
This tour took place between July and September 2013 in Asia, Europe and the United States.
===Line-Up===
*'''[[Alessandro Cortini]]''': Keyboards, programming, guitar, backing vocals
*'''[[Josh Eustis]]''': Bass, keyboards, guitar
*'''[[Robin Finck]]''': Guitar, keyboards, backing vocals
*'''[[Trent Reznor]]''': Vocals, guitar, keyboards
*'''[[Ilan Rubin]]''': Drums, cello
====Changes====
Though [[Eric Avery]] and [[Adrian Belew]] were originally slated to be part of the touring lineup, both dropped out during rehearsals. Avery felt overwhelmed by the idea of going on tour after just having finished a major tour with Garbage, and also wanted to focus on some studio work.[http://pitchfork.com/news/50754-nine-inch-nails-lose-bassist-eric-avery/] Belew stated simply that "it didn't work."[http://pitchfork.com/news/51069-adrian-belew-quits-nine-inch-nails-it-didnt-work/] Robin Finck was brought back to replace Belew and Josh Eustis' duties were then expanded to include bass.
===Stage Set-Up===
This tour utilized several mobile LED screens behind the band, which would supply lighting and also background footage during certain portions of the set. The production and lighting were again designed by [[Rob Sheridan]], Roy Bennett and Moment Factory, who also worked on the 2008 [[Lights In The Sky Tour]] and the [[How To Destroy Angels Live 2013]] tour. The production also made use of Kinect for interactive video manipulation. The band members arrived onstage at the beginning of the set one member at a time and their silhouettes were projected onto the background, which are references to Talking Heads' 1984 concert film, ''Stop Making Sense''.[http://www.nytimes.com/2013/07/28/arts/music/nine-inch-nails-is-back-onstage-with-a-vengeance.html?pagewanted=all&_r=0] The silhouettes are also reminiscent of those at the beginning of shows on Depeche Mode's Devotional tour.
===Typical setlist===
#"[[Copy Of A]]"
#"[[Sanctified]]" or "[[Disappointed]]"
#"[[Came Back Haunted (song)|Came Back Haunted]]"

#"[[Piggy]]"
#"[[Terrible Lie]]"

====Variation====

* "[[What If We Could?]]" was sometimes played in addition to or instead of "Find My Way".
* "[[Something I Can Never Have]]" was played once in place of "Piggy" at the San Francisco, CA show.
Setlists for the three non-festival dates were longer and also more varied since minimal production was used. Other songs played during these shows include (in order of commonality): "[[Somewhat Damaged]]", "[[The Beginning Of The End]]", "[[I'm Afraid Of Americans]]", "[[The Good Soldier]]", "[[Pinion]]", "[[Dead Souls]]", "[[La Mer]]", "[[The Day The World Went Away (song)|The Day The World Went Away]]" and "[[The Line Begins To Blur]]".

===Stage Set-Up===
The production for this leg was very different from the festival dates and was again a collaboration by Rob Sheridan, Roy Bennett and Moment Factory. When this leg was originally announced, Reznor was quoted as saying that it "picks up where Lights in the Sky left off" and that it was "the full-on Nine Inch Nails live experience realized as we never could before." It featured heavy use of "stealth screens", like those from the aforementioned tour, which could be raised and lowered throughout the set and which presented elaborate visuals. A unique lighting element was also added in the form of a number of nine-paneled geometric lighting rigs suspended over the band.
===Typical setlist===
#"[[Copy Of A]]"
#"[[1,000,000]]"
#"[[Terrible Lie]]"
#"[[March Of The Pigs (song)|March Of The Pigs]]"
#"[[Piggy]]" or "[[Reptile]]"

#"[[Even Deeper]]"
#"[[While I'm Still Here]]"
#"[[Black Noise]]"
#"[[Hurt (song)|Hurt]]"
====Variation====
The setlists for the Tension 2013 tour had more variation on a song-by-song basis than the Festival Tour and songs could be shuffled around a good bit between nights, so though certain songs are predictable, the order may not be.
Examples include:
*"[[Satellite]]", "[[In Two]]", "[[Into The Void (song)|Into The Void]]" and/or "[[I Would For You]]" included or replacing songs between "Find My Way" and "Survivalism".
*"[[In This Twilight]]", "[[The Day The World Went Away (song)|The Day The World Went Away]]", "[[I'm Afraid Of Americans]]" or "[[All The Love In The World]]" sometimes appearing as part of the encore.
*"[[Burn]]" sometimes being included after "Wish" and once before "Survivalism".
*"[[Echoplex]]" sometimes appearing as part of the encore during the first half of the tour and sparingly earlier in the set thereafter.
*"[[Only (song)|Only]]" being included between "Wish" and "The Hand That Feeds".
*For shows that could not bring in the full production, the trio of [[Running]] / [[A Warm Place]] / [[Somewhat Damaged]] was typically replaced with "I'm Afraid Of Americans" followed by "Burn" or "Only".
*The two Florida shows had encores with a guest appearance from [[Gary Numan]] on "Reptile", followed by a performance of Numan's "[[We Take Mystery (To Bed)]]".
Two shows, the ''Austin City Limits'' taping and the second Las Vegas show, featured a re-structured set, opening with "All Time Low" instead of "Copy Of A" and featuring other minor song order tweaks. The performance on ''Jimmy Kimmel Live!'' was a five song 'mini-concert' and acted as a sort of sampler for the Tension tour and new album. For this reason, "All Time Low" and "Came Back Haunted" are the only two songs that were technically played at every show.
Several other songs were reportedly rehearsed at the September 21st Tension rehearsal show in Los Angeles, CA. However, there is no clear indication on what songs were played or if the show even took place as planned. The songs that were stated to have been played but didn't show up during the tour proper were: "[[The Eater Of Dreams]]" / "[[Pinion]]", "[[Me, I'm Not]]", "[[Gave Up]]", "[[Please]]" and "[[The Becoming]]".
