Just to have all current info in this thread and not split across other places:

- Last tour wasn't billed as a farewell tour, but Trent said at many shows (one I went to included) that it may be the last, and went on to give varying answers in interviews, at one point claiming that he was already thinking of what they would do next, while still saying that he doesn't feel the burning need to tour that he once did.

- Trent tweets "New NIN in 2016. Other stuff, too."

- Someone linked to a forum where someone claimed to know a person working on a major festival claims that The Moment Factory (who designed the LitS, Tension and festival/2014 panel visuals and stage productions) are working on something major for Trent Reznor, without any confirmation/sources.

Aside from that, there's the fact that so far, a full-length LP (sold as one, and I say that just to avoid the old as dirt "Is Broken an album?" debate) has never been released without NIN doing some capacity of touring. Year Zero came out without US dates at first, but NIN toured extensively in 2007 and, on the LitS tour, supported YZ, Ghosts and The Slip, so it would be a first (unless you count Broken and/or Still) if there isn't some amount of touring.

Also, his kids might now be at an age where it might be easier for Trent to travel. Last tour, his family accompanied all along the way and I believe it was Mariqueen who described it as a family adventure of sorts. That's got to add a lot of stress and complications and could at this point be either a plus or a minus in the likelihood of touring.

No other band members have mentioned anything, which again, could be taken as a pro or a con. Alessandro Cortini said in an interview in (I think?) late 2014 that it was all up to Trent and that in his mind he felt that if the 2014 NA dates were the last, they'd be a good note to go out on.

So at this point it really is a big bag of "We don't know." Personally I think that if Trent knew for sure that they won't be touring, that he'd say so upfront. The fact that he's not mentioned it at all makes me think that it's at least being considered, if not decided on.

As far as the Moment Factory rumor, does anyone know at what stage they get involved? Are visuals started on before rehearsal? The behind the scenes videos for 2013 made it seem symbiotic but IIRC the LitS BTS on Another Version of the Truth shows them displaying tech to Trent and then proceeding from there. If it's something they wouldn't start before a live band has been picked and rehearsals have begun, then I doubt that rumor strongly since we'd almost certainly have had some form of a leak by now. If not, anything's likely.

As much as I'd love to see them in a club, I'd also love to be able to get tickets, and all I've ever seen people say about each and every club tour they've done is how notoriously hard to get they were.

In the last minute of this interview in Mexico - he says after Gone Girl the intention is to start on another NIN album, that could take a few months or years, then there will likely be shows and he would like to play their own show in Mexico. (because she asks him whether he was going to do his own show rather than a festival in Mexico)

Maybe he said all that stuff about maybe not touring again to stop people bugging him or maybe he was just tired?

WorzelG I think burn-out had everything to do with it. It wasn't until those NA dates that he started saying anything about hanging it up again (as far as I know, by all means correct me if I'm wrong) and it was just the end of an extremely long touring cycle that couldn't have been more tiring considering how many different legs there were, different productions, setlists, band members and massive overhauls of the lineups, etc., all the while taking his family along with him and then in the only large downtime between legs working on a really massive film score, and still working out the whole filming thing that was supposed to comprise the NIN Live blu ray set (even if it's been cancelled or shelved).

He's always been someone who maybe speaks a little too soon about what's on his mind; a lot of artists are, and there's a good shot that he just found himself feeling exhausted and, at the time, really not finding it appealing anymore, but given some time to recharge feels differently. NIN's taken breaks quite a lot in the past before and it wouldn't be anything new for him to change his mind about it, I just hope after the last cycle that he's figured out how to avoid that deep exhaustion and maybe space out legs a bit more.

All the info from the two posts at inforoo: "Not quite sure how relevant this is when concerning headliners...but a vendor I work with is working closely with Moment Factory on stage production for a Trent Reznor project. Not sure if it's for Nine Inch Nails or a side project tho, would Nine Inch Nails even be considered a headliner? Trent will at least be touring in 2016 if they're working on live production now."

"Nowhere near what Muse or U2 (also done by Moment Factory) rolled out this year, it's being designed in a much different way. The above-crowd truss needs to be attached to a load bearing support, as there are mechanics involved to help lower the lighting to within feet of the crowd. This looks to be a pretty big part of the actual production, I can't imagine them foregoing this aspect of the production in order to play a festival. Again, they may be planning additional shows with a a more stripped down version of the production, but we've heard no evidence of this as of yet. Also, the anticipated date for final build on this is scheduled for May, I'd expect shows in August at the earliest."

Why is everyone so sure that TR and friends will be hitting the road again? Can't he just release a new album for the sake of releasing a new album and not have a tour accompany it? It almost seems like it's "too soon" to be honest. Hesitation Marks drops in late 2013 and he went on an extensive world tour for a whole year. He's only had a year and a half to rest from touring, he is seriously ready to jump back on the saddle this soon? I thought he made some comment saying this is the last live incarnation he sees for the foreseeable future. I know TR likes to go back on his word a lot, but it almost just seems like it's too soon.

I don't want to sound like i'm complaining here, i'd LOVE to see NIN again in 2016! I'd love to do some more traveling and see some more shows. I just don't want to set myself up for disappointment here. I need to be strategic with my vacation time this year. I'm trying to plan what festival or events I want to attend, but I don't want to wait too long and then I miss the boat on everything fun while waiting for these "supposive" tour dates that never come. And on the other hand, I don't want to start booking a vacation for a festival or trip somewhere else only to have TR drop a tour on us and I have no money/vacation left because I blew it on a half assed event.

I hope we have word sooner rather than later. As of now, i'm waiting for the rockfest lineup to be announced to decided if I want to go out to Quebec in June. If that sucks, then I guess I'll hold off for NIN.

Been thinking the same thing, i mean it's been the typical thing to do usually after a new album comes out but yeah i dunno for me personally... this is mostly a horribly shitty selfish sounding thing for me to say and i totally recognize that but I just hope if they do tour again especially in North America that they actually don't have a show anywhere near me, since at that point I'd just be disappointed as all hell knowing I'll probably not be able to afford some obscene $150 concert ticket pre-order for GA at the drop of a hat.

3 times I've been lucky enough to have seen them and yeah I'd say I'm pretty content with that but at the same time I'd still be bummed as fuck if i had an opportunity to see them a 4th time and missed out.

Just the same though... there are always new fans that have never seen the live show and me saying that just makes me sound like a complete asshole and I don't want them to miss out either but god damn it lol.... I'm normally the most selfless person but this would be one of those rare total dickmode occasions.

Were not sure, just speculating- no more or no less than saying "New NIN in 2016" absolutely means a full length Halo release. Just some 'ol BS'ing on teh ETS and kill some time. There's definitely a lot of us hoping a tour happens though.

I speculate that they will be touring and we will have some info within the next few weeks or by the end of February at the latest. I think they will play festivals, despite what the guy on inforoo has to say. I believe it will mostly be a summer tour. I'm hoping for a "warm-up" club tour (pre-arena tour) but that probably won't be in the cards.

Prediction: Trent will talk about re-thinking the NIN live concept and going away from the rock band show (again), but the end result will not change that much, apart from one-two songs in all-new arrangements.

Aside from the obvious difference in musical style, I believe he said on the old Spiral boards that playing on the same festivals as them in Germany was especially frustrating because their live show was padded out with "unnecessary production", whereas NIN was not given nearly the same luxuries. There's zero chance they would pair up for a tour, I feel.

I say: NIN & Numan, for a full-length tour, at last.

I suspect the list of performers is far from complete, or this is not the only show. I mean there's just no way more of Bowie's collaborators and band members wouldn't want to perform there. (I only see Visconti and a bunch of unrelated people).

Oh yeah, no doubt about it, there are going to be tons of these "Tribute" concerts popping up this year. This just seems to be the first one announced, which was eerily announced at midnight Sunday, literally just a bit after Bowie's death was made public.

I'm really derailing this topic now though...

So yeah, I totally can see some Bowie incorporated in any 2016 live performance if there will be any from Trent and co.

He's done a few shows that leaned in that direction. and i don't expect to see him screaming "26 years on my way to hell" in his sixties.
And i don't expect him to retire from touring. I think he loves it too much, whether he admits it or not.

As for 2016, IF there's a tour, i just hope it's not another "greatest hits" setlist.
I would love to see some deep cuts and alternate versions of songs (like the new sanctified)

The european shows are annoying because of how greatest hits heavy it was.

I may be wrong but given the sheer scale of production that trent tends to bring on the road, that setlists cant vary too much due to what needs to happen visually.

I am just grateful he still tours so the setlist is never annoying to me. Is there one song I want to hear again, yes but I can't let that spoil my enjoyment of the show. Deep cuts are only for superfans and I feel as many times as I have seen NIN, I probably have seen just about everything once. Even the song I want to hear again.

Jumping to conclusions is ETS favorite sport.
I say it's too soon to dismiss the tour just yet.
Eight years ago, we only learned about Lights in the Sky tour in mid-March, while tour started in July.
If NIN were planning to tour this year in the fall (let's say September-October) then I don't see why we should know about it already.

I figured if we got a tour it wouldn't be until fall at the earliest. Buildup for album (I hope he goes back to the slow build, as much as I like "surprise here's a album" I loved how WT and YZ were handled), album release, tour date announcement (if he tours). Maybe summer, but since I don't like dealing with the insane summer heat I'm going to guess/hope for fall arena/club tour.

I would love a similar schedule as 2013 -- handful of festivals to promote hype and shake the dust off, debut a couple new songs, then have a brief break, album release and full tour.

I also doubt any of this will happen at all though. The earliest I'd expect to see more touring would be next year. I'd also loathe if they did a handful of one-offs, because I'm not the kind of person who can afford to just travel across country for a concert like some people can and it feels so limiting and frustrating.

In the Inforoo thing at the beginning of the thread it said it was nowhere near the scale of U2 or Muse, so perhaps it's a theatre tour? A bit like htda did a moment factory thing for theatres. Hope it's something transportable overseas anyway

so about NIN live, would love to see em but with a slight change to what normally goes on.
what i mean by that is... well im just speaking from personal experience (i only usually can afford one show and that is almost always the Toronto show) but the shows early on in the tour tend to suffer from glitches and other technical difficulties and yes i realize thats not anyone's fault in particular but maybe this time around switch it up.

Toronto for example seems to be in the early part of the tour or northeast part of the tour, so i dunno...maybe start off somewhere in the west and start touring eastward?
i will take NIN live in any shape or form but if i had a choice, then this kind of a change would be welcomed by me at least.

I forget the tickets are much cheaper by the sound of things in the UK, My last Tool show was around the £15 mark in 2006.
I'd happily substitute for Gary Numan, He pulls in a great atmosphere here.

Last Tool tour their $80 nosebleed tickets sold out in literal seconds and were then re-sold in the hundreds on third party sites. Tool's response was "then just spend $300 on our VIP tickets, guys!" It was ridiculous.

My first show actually had Numan opening and then he did Reptile and We Take Mystery to Bed in the encore. Absolutely fantastic time. He works extremely well on-stage with NIN and I'd love to see him with them more.

I meant why wouldn't Tool and NIN co-headline? I don't see any reason why they wouldn't.
And as far as stadiums, the last time NIN came to dallas, they played the basketball stadium. Tool plays the basketball stadium too. I assume you must be referring to like football stadiums.

I know it isn't the same thing, but i sure saw APC open for NIN in 2000 or so.

Yeah, we're talking about different things here. For one Tool sells out their shows pretty much the minute they go on sale, so they don't need a co-headliner to help sell tickets and split profits.

Arenas as are the typical basketball and hockey venues, anywhere from 11,000 (or so) to about 20,000 capacity depending on venue and configuration. Stadiums are the baseball and football fields that hold 35,000+ or whatever insane amount of people.

Dude, have you not been paying attention? Tool played a bar in my hometown that seats 35 last week and half the chairs were empty. It's a sad state of affairs, they could give them away and they still wouldn't be able to sell tickets. I don't know what happened to them, last I heard Adam went back to making props for indie Alien fan-films just to make the rent.

Ryan is right, I really hope NIN can use their influence and spotlight to help Tool finally regain the ability to sell tickets.

The likely hood of playing pretty hate machine one night and the downward spiral the next seems pretty slim, since that's just not the way TR operates; but assuming they could have already had nin booked by that date, riot fest linking to that article certainly could have been a hint towards booking nin and them playing pretty hate machine.

Trent doing all of Broken seems wildly slim considering he's not spoken too fondly of it last I remember, saying it felt "insincere" or something along those lines. However, I could absolutely picture him opening with Pinion and it not being pre-recorded but entirely live, going all the way up to the intro of Happiness In Slavery only to switch to Disappointed and then do nothing but the singles through the the Triple H ending just to fuck with people because that's his game and we all let him play.

Remember that show where they did all of TDS up to, like, Ruiner or something only to go into I think what was Discipline or something? How he didn't burst into trollish laughter for the rest of the show is beyond me.

I'd be shocked if NIN ever really got into the habit of "full albums this night" because the whole TDS thing was meant as a total surprise and a "Hey, we really do plan on stopping, so maybe while we still can, let's give this a shot, why don't we?" rather than a "This is what we do now." I don't see NIN ever being the type of band that does anniversary tours. This is the band that on TDS' 25th anniversary, while touring heavily, didn't really do a whole special around it and only added in one to two additional songs beyond the generic "hits" staples from it they always do. Why Trent would ever have interest in a 26th anniversary of anything is beyond me, not to mention his vocal hatred of Kinda I Want To. Why people allow themselves to get hyped up by those sorts of rumors is beyond me.

Last time around we had TR all but spill the beans in a Reddit session in late 2012 and the Adrian Belew thing later on. Of course, most people still chose not to believe up until it was announced because it was thought touring was permanently done with. This time around all we have to go on is nin material is coming out, some guy on inforoo is claiming his company is working on the stage setup (presumably moment factory), and just knowing that TR enjoys the element of surprise.

Assuming you worked in the same capacity during previous tours, were there any times you were particularly surprised to hear about nin touring/playing festivals? Like you said - TR is either doing an extraordinary job at keeping things quiet or the reason things are so quiet is because nothing is going on.

i don't expect a tour this year.
new music, yes, but some sort of tour i expect before the summer of 2017.
the reznor family has a third child, members of the current live line-up are on tour right now and/or doing their own thing and before a tour, first they need to rehearsal which also takes some time.

so be patient.

It says published June 3 2016 it seems that if it is that rough I won't be till next year. It seems he also works on other Moment Factory stuff also. Looking at the drawing I am wondering what the hell we will be in store for.

I was thinking the same until I saw that he joined the site on the same date, meaning even if this was from last year, it wouldn't have been posted until the date he joined anyway.

I thought that Hesitation Marks was the perfect bookend to the introspective side of NIN so is Trent now writing an album about Godzilla?
He's always liked science fiction though so I would be totally down for a Year Zeroish thing. I just hope it can go international whatever it is

Agree; while we can almost rule out festivals now there's still half a year left for regular gigs. I guesstimated that either we/d hear something around May/June or September/October. I had one week's notice for the Scala show in 2013.

I would put zero faith in any of this. I mean, it's still totally possible that the single isn't bullshit and Trent's just lying like he likes to do (and, really, if you're going to announce projects that never see the light of the day it only follows to denounce the existence projects you are releasing) but I doubt it heavily. I'd rather be pleasantly surprised about all this than majorly disappointed.

Also I find it hard to picture a tour starting in December. You'd figure they'd hit up some festival dates to shake the dust off and get some attention. I know everyone sort of expects smaller tours but knowing Trent I would be kinda surprised if he didn't go big next tour in terms of scale. The guy loves pushing what a live show can do and I think he knows they've not pushed that for a bit now. Then again maybe I'm just subconsciously hoping to have my own Lights In the Sky moment since I never got to catch that tour.

If the December thing were to be true, it would be nice if they did it kind of like with teeth where they played clubs/theatres for a few months before hitting the festival/arena circuit. But yes, starting a tour in December does seem odd, especially considering holidays and what not.

As someone with a good number of friends from recent NIN tours (not guys who know guys who worked on one show), I can say that I have heard absolutely 100% nothing about any plans for them to tour this year. Not sarcasm. We all keep each other informed about who we're out with, who's on deck, and who we hope we get. Nails haven't been mentioned one single time.

Having said that, you read it here first: Nine Inch Nails are co-headlining the KISS FM Jingle Ball with Selena Gomez this year. Spoiler alert for the main gag: Trent Reznor, dressed as Santa Claus, crooning "I want to feel you from the inside" to a dancer dressed as someone's chimney.

Out of curiosity, at what point do you usually find out when nine inch nails is touring? Is it when rehearsals begin? How many months ahead of time do rehearsals take place before touring starts?

Out of curiosity, at what point do you usually find out when nine inch nails is touring? Is it when rehearsals begin? How many months ahead of time do rehearsals take place before touring starts?

In general, whether it's a stadium tour, an arena tour, or just a theater tour, full tech rehearsals typically end right before the tour starts (i.e. they don't rehearse then take more time off before the tour starts). The complexity of the tour and its elements dictate the length of rehearsals, which can be anything from a few days to a month or more. But there's a ton of prep work that goes into a show with a lot of moving parts and custom designs, before rehearsals even begin. It's not uncommon for planning to begin 6+ months before a run even begins.

I listen to my local rock radio station on Sunday mornings periodically, as they have a classic alternative show for a few hours - something about having a block of actual good music on terrestrial radio is still interesting to me. Anyways, enough of the justification of listening to the radio.

i'm with you guys about Robin.

Robin Finck is fucking awesome. His stage presence is one of my favorites, even as minimal as it is. It's like there's a lithium-dosed demon astral projecting into him. Killer. Super nice and gracious in person, too. First place guitar face probably goes to Dean Ween* though.

(Last place goes to Adam Jones*, who seems to have had his face stuck in the =| position as a child. I've been to several Tool shows and met Adam several times and it's always the same face. It's true what mothers say.)

I unfortunately never got to see him live. I became a fan right after the Fragility tour had just came by my area, and didn't get really into NIN until when AATCHB/Still came out. And of course I didn't have the money to fly across the country when he was a guest for the Wave Goodbye club shows.
I would absolutely LOVE to have Danny and Robin together again, especially with Josh Freese (knowing how they're all good friends together and had a lot of fun outside of touring).

I was always under the impression that Trent WAS the creative force of NIN, by which I mean to say no one else in the "band" really had a say in anything and they basically just played what he told them to play. I even thought that was a primary reason for a lot of departures - people saying they were annoyed that they had no input. I could also be totally wrong, in which case please feel free to set me straight.

But as for live - I never saw him in person with NIN, only in live videos. His presence did seem to work well in the 90's "let's everyone run around drugged up and break shit" sort of stage show, but honestly, I think I actually preferred JMJ and Pino. I'm probably alone there.

If you ask me, JMJ was by far the best bass player NIN ever had. Usually I don't notice the difference between bass players that much (except for a guy like Pino maybe, where it's really obvious) but JMJ really added a whole fucking lot of quality to nearly every song.

I've kinda heard both, where they had no creative input but also how ___ member contributed a little to the sound of ___ song kind of thing. Which could honestly just be the style of playing the instrument (like how Trent specifically wanted Dave Grohl for WT). It would be interesting to find out how much the band members made an impact on the sound of a song/album both in the studio as well as live rehearsals and performance (the latter being a little more obvious to spot, but we don't really know if it's because of Trent's direction or because of their individual play style and preference for how a part should go).

My fav JMJ contribution is probably what he did with "God Given" on the Lights in the Sky tour (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L5Mr7kwZXHs) – a song that easily could have been tackled the same way as "Me, I'm Not", "Vessel", or "The Great Destroyer" was instead approached as a full-band tune. Those awesome bass licks are forever etched into my brain. I fucking love Robin's guitar solo at the end, too.

Agreed. JMJ is the best NIN bass player. I'm seeing Beck next week and I'm really bummed he's no longer touring with him. JMJ's focusing on producing now. Pino's obviously a great player, but he has zero stage presence. 2008/2009 lineups FTW!

Ha! he hangs out with Beck a lot, so...

Jesus christ, look at his fucking recording and performance history (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Justin_Meldal-Johnsen#Credits). He's like the Josh Freese of bass playing.

For me, Pino is by FAR the best NIN bass player. He really brought something special to the sound. Anyone who can halfway play guitar could play as well as most nin bassists.

Listened to the Fragile yesterday for the first time in awhile and revisited the 2013 Tension Vimeo upload on YouTube...got me thinking a lot about what's the future for touring for Nine Inch Nails. I guess at this point, 2016 is just a huge question mark for a possible new album...but I have a feeling for sure that we won't see any tour news this year.

That being said, I mean...what can we even expect tour wise from Trent at this point? Is he going to want to do another arena tour like he did for Hesitation Marks? I know he kind of downplays the idea of being on tour for long periods of time, but I know he has the itch to play music in front of large groups of people every night. Hopefully we'll get some kind of tour going in 2017 at least. I've never seen a show on a tour more than once, so I'm hoping that if we get similar dates like we did for the fall tour in 2013...I can try and catch at least two shows.

I don't know. I can appreciate Pino and the incredible skill this guy has. But for me his kinda funky way of playing the bass lacks a certain aggressiveness.

If I had to describe JMJ's bass playing I would go with "thick and raw". Fucking love that.

"nine inch nails are definitely out, wont be ready before fall 2017."

If it's true, then a tour will happen but we will have to wait a year. Also, if true, I don't see new nine inch nails coming out in 2016.

After that Bonaroo thread talk of NIN being ready for may this year, no December this year, i'm not taking any random guy on the internet at face value again

After listening to HM on the way to work today, it reminded me that I actually really preferred Pino for that tour. Loved Justin in the shows I caught, but both the style and the tone that the bass lines took on HM? Pino nailed those. I honestly don't see Justin playing them quite the same way. Would he still be good? I'm sure. But Pino brought a very studio-esque precision and replication to the parts that just worked. Justin's style - and frankly, most bassists' style - has some wiggle room and makes the live show sound a little different. Pino made that tour sound like the album, but live. And for me, that was a great way to present those songs.

Oh, and re: Coachella? I can safely say that

(just kidding, I don't know anything about Coachella)

Justin didn't play on the Hesitation Marks touring circle. Joshua Eustis did.

Pino did some amazing things from what I heard only from the VEVO Tension video, but to me, while it may have expanded NIN's sound, it didn't really fit.

Take Sanctified. I prefer the version with the more "rigid" bassline that Josh played.

maybe the same strategy: sabbatical for 4 years (just like last time and, remember, his family got a new child). so, a new album fall 2017, new tour 2018. ;) no problem!

I'm with you - I prefer Josh's bassline way more than Pino's - Pino's had a little too much going on and didn't have that NIN edge IMO.

I'm with both of you guys. I preferred the way Josh (and Ilan) played Sanctified.

Maybe this is because I am a bass player, but Pino was hands-down the best bass player on that tour and technically the best they have ever had. I actually dislike the bass line to the version of Sanctified they played without him. The bass line in that songs is what makes it for me.

On a side note, I thought Josh was the worst "bass player" they have had, both in terms of playing and stage performance. I'm sure he is a great guy, but I really thought he didn't fit. Pino maybe didn't fit with nin in general, but he was a really good fit for that incarnation of the band in my opinion.

I think we could lock this thread and start the 2017 Live Speculation thread at this point in time.

To be fair, Josh isn't really a bass player. He's more along the lines of someone with a solid understanding of guitar and can play bass by extension. I prefer Pino in terms of technique and fluidity, but I kind of liked the more raw style Josh had. It actually reminded me of how Danny used to sound

It means "I'm doing a lot of shit so I'm going to drop off the face of the earth for a bit brb". It doesn't mean anything at all about NIN.
