[thefragile_jake]

I DO want this.

[Moebius]

Oh good, LA needed more shows. *ducks*

[Ray1971]

I entered. I never win anything but it's worth a shot.

[tony.parente]

This would make me so happy.
I know the odds are against me, but it would make me so so happy.

EDIT: thefragile_jake i'll make you my plus one if you make me your plus one.

babeh.

Sounds like a plan!

[JessicaSarahS]

Right?! SF and Nor Cal could really use some! Hmph! ;)

[Yoshata]

I entered this last night. The odds are staggering, probably, but hey, why not. :D

[TheRealNs1]

An excellent music scene is why some of us live here.

[mindviolation]

I love LA in times like this.

[theimage13]

*sigh*

I'll be working Farm Aid on the opposite side of the country that day. I want to enter and then decline everything except the merch and the other tickets, but methinks they wouldn't be too happy about that.

[fragility3.1]

Thats why I live in San Diego. Nicer city, still a short car ride from your excellent music scene.

[SM Rollinger]

Registered, even though i would never win. Thanks for the heads up.

[somewhat_]

Hmm, how come no one has contacted me about winning the contest yet? :(

[Yoshata]

^^
You mean, how come you didn't get an email saying you've won? The first time I read your post I thought you actually won...I need to sleep.

[Discobunny]

Ha! Do you know how few LA shows they have actually played...the "last" shows in 09 not withstanding?
When they started touring again in 2005, it seemed like they played everywhere but LA. And homeboy lives here. :)

Personally, im waiting for the crazy treasure hunt. Or something. It would be really cool to see this show. I got to go to the LITS rehearsal...and the coolest thing was being able to hear a pin drop during the quiet songs. I love all the shows I have been lucky enough to see, but it was really great to not have drunk people talking through the instrumentals. Or fighting a crowd. Or crowdsurfers who still think its 1995.

Good lord, what is with LA people? You had a WT show and a LITS show, which is about as much as most cities got. Plus nearby shows in Irvine and Santa Barbara for the WT summer sheds and NIN|JA. That's just the normal stuff. Let's not forget the YZ ARG activity and show, the LITS rehearsal and scavenger hunt, and the final 4 Wave Goodbye shows.

LA is not deprived. You got as many normal shows as most cities plus a bunch of special stuff that happened nowhere else in the world. I'm sorry if you felt disappointed not to see LA on every tour. Now you know how 95% of the country feels.

[Discobunny]

You missed the point. My comment was mostly in jest...but I do know that for most of tne WT tour, it did feel like I spent a lot of time in other cities going to shows. There really were not a ton of local shows.

As for Irvine, it took me 6 hours to get there...and two of those hours were spent on the off ramp. Stupid Orange County.
I missed "now Im nothing" and it sure as hell shouldnt have taken that long to get there. Traffic here sucks beyond your wildest dreams.

You are right, LA is now getting the love. But LA is really spread out. And there are a lot of us here.
At least the weather is nice, most of the time.

ME TOO! holy shit. same offramp, same traffic, missed like 5 songs.

[m15a]

any word on when the contest winners will be (or were?) announced? i looked on the site before, but couldn't find that information.

[SM Rollinger]

I see a non disclosure agreement in the winners future...

[Conan The Barbarian]

I always thought that the reason why LA gets then love is because the band lives out there.

I need to move.

[Krazy]

Could be wrong but thought they were to be contacted tomorrow (Friday). Can't say for sure since its closed now though.

Yup, and I hope so. I don't want any spoilers since its gonna be the first ever tour I'm goin to the opener!!

[howdidislipinto]

That was because of Coachella, and though it definitely sucked, it's hard to complain about the one time we got fucked over considering all the bonuses we've gotten since. :)

Was that the club tour? I remember going to San Diego to see them.

[thefragile_jake]

Man, I hope we see something soon for this!

Oh I'm not complaining! Far from it.

Yes. The club tour seemed to play everywhere but LA....but I know it had to do w/ Coachella.
The San Diego show is the only pit I got pulled out of. It was my third show that weekend and that venue was so flipping hot. It was the second to last song and I was done. Trent had already jumped on top of me and surfed through the crowd. It was an amazing energetic show. It was so hot in there there was condensation dripping from the celing.

Those two shows at SOMA were nuts. Your comment in regards to the condensation on the ceiling is so true, every show I've seen there has been that way with not circulating air and the exit doors propped wide open in an attempt to cool things.

[m15a]

soooo . . no one knows anyone going to this? i tried searching twitter and looking at the nin.com boards and didn't find anything.

[Moebius]

The CBS contest had only one winner. Perhaps there will be something from the band to give away a few more spots. Maybe another scavenger hunt of sorts?

[RINGFINGER]

I Find it all very strange that no details whatsoever have leaked for this event? Ain't it interesting how hardly anyone posted post show details about The Troubadour show ? This is NIN /Industry Party number #2 this month...so sad

[m15a]

at least someone posted about the Troubador show. that show was, like, 2% of the size of an arena show. for this show, i think we don't even know the venue, right? could be, like, 20 people watching the show. and it could have just as easily been a rehearsal without a show. none of us are paying to go to the show, so any details are a bonus.

You do have a great point m15a - I was out at the Troubadour trying to get in and it was messy.There were a great deal of industry heads and hangers on there along with the contest winners,,,I am sure this rehearsal show ill take place at an arena so they could realize the full scope of the new stage show....I hope that some ETS Peeps get into this show this weekend :)

[MONKEYlovesYOU]

One would think it would be an arena especially if they will be rehearsing the stage set up

[Krazy]

This rehearsal is supposed to take place at the LA Sports Arena (that's what I remember reading, and its the same venue as they showed the BTS stuff for festival rehearsals).

Chances are this is a VERY private event with only a handful of outsiders, and security is gonna be up your but if you get to go.

Not sure if there's anyone lucky enough on here that went to the LITS rehearsals. Maybe they can chime in on what that was like.

I was at the Troubador show. I posted lots of Vines during the show and a few pics on Instagram. Being that it was such a small show, i mostly wanted to be in the moment and enjoy it. However, I know how incredibly lucky I was to get to go.... Which is why I tweeted the setlist in realtime. There is a tour journal on here for it, and a couple of us posted in there.

I was at the LITS rehearsal show. Security was extremely tight. No photos were allowed. With good reason. There are a coupke of photos and set lists out there, but not many. It was held at the LA forum. There were about 300 people there, mostly friends and family and then the contest winners. I won my tickets on KROQ... Which is why I am suprised that they did the Troubador show instead of partnering on the rehearsal. There were contest winners from all over the country, and they were going to see a movie at Hollywood Forever afterward as well.

The coolest thing is I got a poster that says private rehearsal and the date on it. It was numbered too. I am guessing there will be something similar for this one.

Whoever gets to go is extremely lucky...and I can't wait to hear all about it. Still hoping for a treasure hunt or something.

The funny quote from Trent at the Troubador was Thank you for doing whatever humilatiing things you did to get into this show.
He made a similar comment at the LITS show... Commenting on how much fun they had with the treasure hunt.

We have a winner. At or near the end of rehearsals, artists usually do a full tech run - all lighting, sound, video, etc, exactly as it would be for a show, and without stopping. Something goes wrong during? Here's your chance to practice fixing it on the fly. I can't comment on the setlist itself as far as length, songs, etc, but I can tell you that what you'll probably be seeing is the full tech production that will be on the road.

i was thinking about heading down to the sports arena to check it out and see anyone else planing on trying ?

Would the USC game be a problem?

[littlemonkey613]

Would the USC game be a problem?

Yeah lol good luck getting around. Ill be tailgating, shit is crazy.

[nooneimportant]

Would the USC game be a problem?

I don't live in the area, but the USC game starts at 12:30pm and I'm assuming the Rehearsal is around 8pm or so. There shouldn't be a problem by then, but I don't know. Either way it seems like a lame idea to just stand out there hoping for something to happen. I know we're all huge fans here but damn, man.

[virushopper]

So should I keep my eyes peeled or what today?

[Discobunny]

Last time (2008) the rehearsal was in the afternoon. Its anybodys guess when they will have it.
But i dont think it will be a case of being able to talk your way in either.
At the one for LITS, there were KROQ winners, national contest winners and the treasure hunt people. This seems like it will only be out of market contest winners, friends and family.

I am hopeful we will get someone who will report something. I dont want spoilers on the lighting necessarily, but just the overall vibe and some of the setlist would be cool.

At the Troubador show, i was able to trade some vinyl for a plus one.

Looks legit. I don't feel as bad missing out on the US tour / Tension seeing this setlist since it's pretty similar to what we got in Milan. I mean, aside from the new songs obviously... Holding on for the inevitable world tour next year.

[WorzelG]

^^what a great setlist, the only change I would make is to replace 1000000 with Closer (I kind of miss Closer from the last few times I've seen them). Fingers crossed they bring this over to the UK

[Scarlet Siren]

Oh God. All Time Low. *grinning*

[Fist Fuck]

Are you sure this is legit? It doesn't look that way. Maybe for this rehearsal, but I doubt that's even close to the final tour setlist. It doesn't look like there's any concept, it's more like Wave Goodbye 2.0. But, if it's legit, they're playing my favorite songs from the new album which is awesome.

What about the album's second hit single Everything though? :D

[theimage13]

What about the album's second hit single Everything though? :D

Here's hoping they never, ever play that song live.

[nooneimportant]

Here's hoping they never, ever play that song live.

I'm confident it will sound good when played live.

[jessamineny]

Please! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!

[OSLIN]

Very pleased to see Please on the list.

[nobies]

Very pleased to see Please on the list.
Please + appendage, plz.

[slave2thewage]

Given that the guy who posted that is in Chile, I call bullshit.

[Tomp252]

Im not understanding why everyone automatically assumes this is real. I dont think the setlist will resemble the festival shows even a little bit, plus, I think we'll see at least 25 songs.

[ninlive]

Setlist.fm is a bunch of bull... I never trust that site. That is not correct.

[tony.parente]

I wouldn't be able to stop sobbing if they pulled out Please in STL.

[Leviathant]

Yeah, I'm going with somewhere between "not buying it" and "totally fake" - I was curious about the setlist.fm phenomenon, which had totally passed me by, and thought it was kind of neat until that Troubadour show that got live updates, and an unheralded comedy genius (that's sarcasm) lobbed The Perfect Drug onto the set list.

I'll wait til something shows up on nintourhistory.com, thanks.

[billpulsipher]

setlist seems legit. no idea why people were expecting this tour to be 10=15 rare never played songs. Its going to be a standard set with a bunch of new songs and maybe 1 or 2 rare ones.

[Kyle]

It's not the amount of rare songs. It's the amount of songs period. LITS was usually about 31 songs. Even the festival shows were 20-25 songs. There's no way the arena tour is only going to be 19 (with one of which being pinion/eater of dreams). And it doesn't really fit his usual format with the theatrical middle part but its mostly the length.

And the LITS warm up show was almost identical to the regular shows so it stands to reason this would be the same.

[slave2thewage]

Given that he's touring Hesitation Marks now, there'd also be more from the album.

[Deepvoid]

I didn't look at the entire setlist from lastfm but there's no way he's starting the show with Me, I'm not.
Once you have established that, whatever songs are indicated on there is kinda irrelevant.

[tony.parente]

Seems 100% legit to me, but it also looks like it may be half the set, or missing the very long encore.

[Kyle]

Given that he's touring Hesitation Marks now, there'd also be more from the album.

Theres 7 songs from Hesitation Marks in that set.

[frankie teardrop]

yeah, seven songs is a completely acceptable amount of new material to play while promoting an album. most bands pepper 4 to 5 of them around classics and singles.

and as for length, the key word here is warmup. if it's an intimate sort of gig with a giveaway, i doubt it would be a full-blown show. ]

not saying it couldn't possibly inaccurate, but it's not like there's a ton of rarities and otherwise bizarre choices in here.

not saying it couldn't possibly inaccurate, but it's not like there's a ton of rarities and otherwise bizarre choices in here.

But again. The LITS warmup show was the exact same type of thing with a small crowd and it was a full normal setlist. It's basically a dry run of the show to fix problems so there's no reason to do a different show. This isn't a "show for the fans" like the troubadour show. It's a dress rehearsal with an audience.

[billpulsipher]

of the 30 LITS songs, 7 or 8 were instrumental interludes like Ghosts and Pinion etc, so I don't really count those as full on songs...

[Torgo]

Some food for thought: at the Troubadour show, even the industry people were tweeting about the show / other fans there posted somewhere about it.

No one anywhere has said anything about this show even happening. You have some guy from Chile who posted a "setlist" for this "show" and another guy who snuck up by their rehearsal area and heard a song being rehearsed... No NDA, not even at the threat of Trent punching you in the face, would stop someone from posting anonymously on the internet about it. Take from that what you will.

[slave2thewage]

I'm going with a sixteen year old kid in Santiago being a completely reliable source...

[frankie teardrop]

then it's probably best at this point to avoid constant speculation and debate about what was and wasn't played until we hear something concrete to confirm or deny...

the irony of this post, in turn, is not lost.

Are you trying to say the show didn't happen?

It's a conspiracy.

[Kyle]

I'll give you Pinion an 999,999 as not really counting but the Ghosts songs are as long as any other songs and definitely count. And that puts it at 29 songs vs 18. Even if you're not going to count Ghosts (for whatever bizarre reason) that's 25 vs 18.

No NDA, not even at the threat of Trent punching you in the face, would stop someone from posting anonymously on the internet about it. Take from that what you will.

I entered a contest to win a trip to that show that was promoted by the bands official page so I take that as confirmation that it happened. I'm still skeptical on the setlist but not the existence of the show.

I'm just saying that it probably didn't happen. Even at the past "rehearsal" family/friend shows, we've heard about them happening in some capacity from people attending. Sure, they had an official contest for this, but that doesn't mean that it happened for sure.

Or maybe it was just a couple people who came and just watched rehearsal who have no connection to these forums. Who knows, really.

I'll give you Pinion an 999,999 as not really counting but the Ghosts songs are as long as any other songs and definitely count. And that puts it at 29 songs vs 18. Even if you're not going to count Ghosts (for whatever bizarre reason) that's 25 vs 18.

18 songs is NOT at all unreasonable. LITS was especially long for a NIN tour, and those wave goodbye, all-out sets don't count either. NIN shows usually average 20 songs or so.

I didn't look at the entire setlist from lastfm but there's no way he's starting the show with Me, I'm not.
Once you have established that, whatever songs are indicated on there is kinda irrelevant.

They opened with Me, I'm Not and The Great Destroyer before. http://www.nintourhistory.com/concert.php?concertid=685

If I was the type of person to bet with strangers over the Internet I would bet the show is considerably longer than what was on setlist.fm.

Guess we will just have to wait 5 days to find out.

The Internet wasn't built for patience. It's for arguing.

there could have been as few as 1 person attending the show that wasn't working on the show. and that's assuming that there was actually a contest winner. and, who knows, maybe that person just wanted a free trip to LA.

i think the best bet in getting confirmation would be to ask people that were around early for the USC game, which is supposedly when it happened. i'm actually a little surprised that no one bugged that random guy that tweeted about it. (although that might be kind of rude, i dunno what the twitter etiquette is.)

this may or may not be from the "show", so i don't know if it's confirmation: https://twitter.com/rob_sheridan/status/382058954546630656/photo/1

Damn that's a lot of Kinect action.. Also that set looks incomplete. Rehearsal wise, those are probably just the ones they need to lock down either from a musical or visual standpoint. I can't imagine going to a full scale NIN show and not seeing Closer or Terrible Lie. Earlier the guy on twitter remarked that THTF was also played. I don't see that on the list. Maybe I'm getting these recent rehearsals confused. Has there been more than one (with attendees) in the past week?

The last time NIN did a major North American tour with a static setlist and a setlist as long or shorter than what was posted for this show was the first leg of the Self Destruct tour.

[NINisamazing]

If that's accurate, was sorta hoping for some instrumentals. But I don't care that much. Let's see what happens!

[NINisamazing]

Lol at robs post.

[NINisamazing]

Trent is probably kicking ass seeing how he was during that behind the scenes video. I have a feeling that set is not 100 percent accurate. The set just seems kinda short. Like it's missing something.

fragility was 19-21 songs, depending on the night. seriously man, this is getting out of hand. just let it go until we get official confirmation one way or the other.

What I'm saying here is "no"

Unless you were in attendance, don't bother posting here. In fact, if you were in attendance, you probably would have posted here.
