[[Image:Tensionposter.jpg|thumb|Tour poster]]This tour took place between September and November 2013 in North America. It was part of the [[NIN 2013-2014]] touring cycle. The opening acts were [[Autolux]], [[Related bands and artists#Explosions In The Sky|Explosions In The Sky]], [[Related bands and artists#Godspeed You! Black Emperor|Godspeed You! Black Emperor]] and [[Gary Numan]]. The Los Angeles show of this tour was professionally filmed and was scheduled to be released as a DVD/Blu-ray in Spring 2014. Other shows from later in the touring cycle were filmed with the intention of being added to the package, but the current status of the project is unknown. A 77 minute edit of the footage is currently available to view [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LBC3NXnN8y4 here].

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 Tour|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.
===Variation===
The setlists for the Tension 2013 tour had more variation on a song-by-song basis than the [[NIN 2013 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 (song)|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."
