Pointless live speculation

[sheepdean]

Well "next week" ends on Sunday (or Saturday if you use the Jewish week), so there's still time.

Hopefully it's taking this long because of finalising like 100 shows in Europe.

[october_midnight]

I guess the word "soon" should have been used instead of "next week".

How. Dare. You.

[somewhat_]

Well, I would be much less disappointed if he would have used the dreaded "soon". We all know "soon" means TR will release/announce whatever it is when he's damn well ready to release/announce it. And of course I understood "next week" as a definitive time frame. Oh well, I guess I've learned my lesson now. I'm sure he had every intention to announce it this week and something got fucked up, so I'm not going to get too upset about it. I'm just really looking forward to seeing where they will be performing.

Expecting/hoping for the announcement Tuesday, I mean you know Trent is enjoying his three day weekend right?

[R-Dot-Yung]

Do we expect these shows to sell out fast?

I mean I wanna snag two tickets to the inevitable NYC dates and I'm prepared for the worst given my NIN experience. I just know that this community has been incredibly helpful in the past of sharing the love and helping out so if anything goes awry I vow to help others the way that others have helped me in the past.

I wouldn't expect them to sell out within a few seconds like a NIN intimate show would, but at the same time I'm not going to hop on the internet an hour after the sale begins and expect tickets to still be available. You have to keep in mind, a show in NYC will be attracting a lot of people outside of the New York market as well. So even though it's not NIN, it is TR and I'm sure his draw can sell 2,000 or 3,000 tickets pretty damn fast.

I got this message when signing up for an HTDA account to purchase the album through their store:

"Thanks for signing up for an HTDA account. We'll notify you when tickets are available for purchase."

[sheepdean]

Really hoping the boring delays is passport issues~

[october_midnight]

@ destroyangels : Additional tour dates are still coming. Just working out some boring last-minute details. Stay tuned...

Part of me wonders if they'd give their direct customers first crack at tickets, as the "secret" reward with this release.

[dominik]

I'm almost shitting my pants because of the bass, and I'm only listening to it with my in-ear headphones.. I can't imagine how fucking awesome this will be live. Just imagine it.. how you will dance to this fucking music, drunk.. and with a lot of BASS.

It could be, but I also believe it could just be a way of having an account to buy presale tickets. Just like you needed an nin.com account to purchase NIN presale tickets.

Hello all - I figured I would share a little info with everyone regarding a possible NIN tour. Nothing is set in stone, but I'll just say that a NIN fan presale ticketing demo site has recently been created (I have seen it for myself). It's fully functional and lists three 2013 tour dates for testing purposes. It even lists details such as - your name will be custom printed on the ticket, will be held at will call, and that you and your guest will be wrist-banded and escorted immediately into the venue (in the interest of keeping tickets in the hands of our fans). Also, a separate page for How To Destroy Angels has recently been created as well. Trust me, I was quite shocked by this. I was at the 2009 Bowery show and thought that was it. Then again, dozens of bands have called it quits, only to reunite down the road. Again, this is speculation on my part, with evidence showing that (I can only assume) someone from the band/mgmt is working with this popular ticket presale company for a possible tour. I will say this - These pages are created as demos, and I have yet to come across one that didn't eventually go live. But then again, the demo could have been ordered just in case, and ends there. We'll see.

cross-post; somebody registered and posted that on the nin forums today, for what it's worth

I was hoping/expecting a forum. HTDA's only dedicated forum site atm is that weird german one

In addition to Coachella, we’ll be performing in a few select North American cities in April. Here’s the schedule:


4.12 indio, ca [coachella]

These are the only dates we have scheduled right now. To preemptively answer the “when are you coming to my city/country??” questions: We just don’t know. Right now, the dates above are the only dates. There are some other announcements coming soon that will impact this as well…


For these shows, we’ll be doing direct presales for a limited number of tickets. Presales will begin next week. More details, including venues and ticketing info, will be coming tomorrow. Stay tuned.


Oh hell yes!

That was tweeted like.....18 seconds ago lol. F5 F5 F5...

I get their tweets texted to me.. don't judge

[Deepvoid]

Knowing the Toronto NIN community and how they respond to anything TR related, along with a wide variety of more 'intimate' options for the show. I highly doubt they pass up Toronto if there are 10+ cities on the tour.

Montreal I could see being on the bubble.

You nailed this one on the head. Damn!
Toronto straight on my birthday! I might make the trip .. who knows.

I'm really curious to see what this is all about

Yes! I hope the venue's not too small and the thing doesn't sell out too fast. Presale ticket jitters already building up...

[jessamineny]

That's my favorite part.

[JessicaSarahS]

More festivals perhaps?

[gorast]

I hope Southeast dates pop up sometime this year, if they continue touring after this short batch. If there's a Florida date anywhere in the state I'll get my ass there no matter what.

[Leviathant]

Well, I guess we can close the 'speculation' thread and open an actual tour thread.

[Callahan]

I'm interpreting it as something outside of HTDA will impact where/when they tour more cities.

Hmmm... I didn't think of that. Now I'm even more excited.

They are opening for NIN later this year.

[october_midnight]

Yeah, it'd be awesome if it was a NIN announcement, but I'm not 100% sure they'd wanna drop a bombshell like tour dates and then a few days later start pimpin' NIN again...who knows, but I'd give it more time and let HTDA have its day in the sun.

[halo33]

these will be mid-size theaters. NY will be T5 or Hammerstein is my guess. (although Beacon would be nice)
The Wellmont NJ date gives that away.

I think the cat will be out of the bag once Lollapalooza is announced (mid April?). Although, really, the cat has already been peeking his head out of the bag a few times already
