I can probably put up a couple of people. Hotels here are insane.
So when the inevitable tour happens, i will most likely be going to the Denver show.
Who else will be there?
This lines up well with NIN also doing Lollapalooza and Osheaga. I hope this is part of a headline tour though.
Lolla usually gets announced in March, right? I imagine they'll play there and possibly the Made in America festival as well.
Also The Black Queen should open on the actual tour.
I figured it out! The dots are the 2017 tour locations. 2 in NY, 2 cruises in the Atlantic Ocean, One boat ride in Lake Michigan...

This is actually the festival's second year on Randall's Island (and second overall).
Press reports from last year suggest it was pretty well-run, at least compared to Gov Ball. That said, there's still a significant festival discount to my current enthusiasm. I want to find some first-hand accounts from last year's VIP viewing areas to see if perhaps this approach might mitigate my concerns. Either way, I'll probably still open my wallet on Friday since I'm only a 4 mile bike ride from the site.
Holy fucking Christ. She's wicked talented and completely nuts. That could be so amazing...or an unbelievably terrible, Vicodin-baked-into-my-pizza combination. One thing's for sure: 98.75% of the "fans" would not be happy.
Actually, now that I think of it, what would the reaction be to any female (non-Mariqueen) addition to the live band be? I feel like there would be an...unfortunate amount of revolt.
Already looking at Airbnb spots for Panorama. There's so many tours going on at around the same time this year, it's crazy.
Mm, I'd certainly like to think that the NIN fanbase is more open-minded than that, but I fear that you might be right.
In re: the backing vocals for Tension (which I personally loved), I suppose part of the outcry on that front was because it was sort of legitimately changing the live "sound" of the band, whereas just having a woman on guitar would still, you know, be playing guitar. Hopefully folks'd be accepting of that.
(Re: Annie Clark, I do think she'd be able to do some really wicked stuff playing guitar for NIN, though I can't imagine she'd be happy just being a member in someone else's band.)

Oh, absolutely. The only reason I even included the "non-Mariqueen" clause in my post about the reception of a female member was that the reaction to MQ would probably be a lot more violent and offensive than if it were just a talented musician who happened to have a vagina.
Man's been married and putting out award-winning music for almost a decade now and we're still treated to album reviews that invoke Yoko. I can't even imagine what the shitty world would do if he said she'd be playing even the fucking triangle during one song of the live show.
As for the Annie Clark idea, I'm pretty sure it just came from the original poster above. But I ran with it, for the sake of the hypothetical, because I fucking adore St. Vincent. Apologies if I made it seem as if this was something that was actually in the rumor mill.

Agreed. I'd hope the fanbase would be a bit more accepting and enthusiastic about the prospect more than I might fear...and as for that Yoko Ono reference in that review, I guessed I glazed over it as standard music review tripe, but you're totally right. That shit was ridiculous if meant to mean that Reznor has a wife of east Asian heritage. Maybe the reviewer was clueless and went for the easy musician-wife comparison.
And I think the implication was "who is ruining his music." The review of "She's Gone Away" was a low point of that piece.
And how much does Pino Palladino bill for these days? Thanks to some friends in the business, I know some of the guys from King Crimson are currently working on a "whatever you can pay me will be just fine" basis. At least for studio work. But I feel like someone who's currently on fire and in her prime would end up costing more. Then again, what do I know?
And then again again, there's no point in even continuing the debate, since it's not a thing that will ever happen. Although I guess this thread is specifically for baseless speculation.
since its a festival show...hopefully it will be streamed....
I will be crushed if Robin is not involved.
Just no Reading/Leeds festival please if you get to the UK (think it's a fairly safe bet he won't due to the Biffy Clyro debacle last time round!).
Not Glastonbury...!
Trent needs to start 'Rez-fest', so that he's surrounded by tasteful and agreeable acts.
Can the tour be called The Actual Events?
