NIN touring in 2019 (?)

[witte]

Yes, I know, the fall tour is still going on, but it's november and tour speculations for 2019 maybe could be done here, to keep the discussion transparant.
There are already a few rumours for a tour in 2019.
Personally I cannot imagine it will happen, because:
- T/A have a lot of soundtracks to do that year
- Trent (and Atticus) mentioned in the past that their touring behaviour will be different from the past.
- NIN did already an extensive tour in 2018 (I didn't expect this mentioning the line above)
- I think 2020 will be good year for a new one.

On the other hand, there are rumours. I know a guy in the netherlands who's active close to booking agencies and the rumour is NIN is asking for festival opportunities in the EU for 2019.
And the NIN project has his 30th anniversary in 2019....
Someone also mentioned this below, but this looks like fake.



So will there be a "NIN 2019 tour"?
Discus...

That image has been floating around for quite some time and it is fake.

Trent stated in San Antonio that they are not done touring and pieced from different sources of interviews that many won't have to wait long for another cycle. To me, that means they will likely do some shows in 2019.

I found a rumour on a site called efestivals that they’re working to confirm Ireland dates in late June and were talking about the possibility of them headlining the ‘Other Stage’ at Glastonbury

no idea if it’s true though, but it would make sense to hit some areas they haven’t played like what about Canada?

Yeah guys WHAT ABOUT CANADA

I hope they aren't doing Glasto! It sells out LOOOOOONG before anyone even know what bands are playing and don't do single day tickets, so chances of most of us NIN UK fans actually seeing them would be slim!

But i do think they'll do this smaller tour cycle. Festivals can pay for tours so make sense to do them around Europe with the odd smaller show here and there and then a small club tour of sorts back in the US so they don't burn out.

Kylie is slated to headline the Legends stage. I would literally shit myself.

i saw Kylie in Cardiff, it was great actually and she played The First Time and Cant Get You Out of my Head which are my favourites

I would totally go to Dublin to see NIN though if it turned out they were playing there since Glastonbury is probably not an option unless you already have tickets

[ryanmcfly]

Festivals seem likely. I expect 2019 to be somewhere in between 2017 and 2018 in terms of amount of shows.

^^^lol

Canada = North America. Has any “American” band ever done just a Canada tour? Like say hit the 10-15 largest markets without ever going south of the border?

If NIN tours in 2019 I hope they stay the fuck away from festivals.

Yeah, I mean it's definitely a rare thing but it happens. NIN could probably do something similar and hit up the PNW, Minneapolis, etc along with it.

10-15 is being generous. We have maybe 6 at most, lol. Hence why artists rarely come here for a full blown tour. It's usually Just a Toronto show, with the odd Montreal or Vancouver show sprinkled in there sometimes. We always get the shaft.

I'd like to see a 2nd leg of the Cold and Black... tour to hit up the secondary markets in 2019. I hope next year has NIN in it some capacity. We've been so spoiled these last few years with NIN material and live shows that I can't fathom going a whole year without something NIN releated now (and to think we used to go 5 years between releases like it was normal lol).

The thing with Canada we don't necessarily have these 5000 seaters theater. I know there are none in Montreal. It's either full blown arena or you play a smaller venue like the MTelus which is about 2300. There is nothing in between.

It's like that here as well. A lot of "mid sized" bands will play the Commodore Ballroom, but that only has a capacity of 995. There is also the PNE forum, but only hosts 1800.
Those are for open floor venues anyway. There is the Queen Elizabeth Theatre, which is a little over 2900 seating, but that's a seated venue. That's garbage. Sometimes metal bands will play there, and it's the most awkward thing in the world. I think they can take out the first 6 rows of seats for a small pit though.

So, Vancouver doesn't have any mid sized 4000-5000 capacity venues either. Could be the reason. But still, book 2-3 back to back nights at one of these 1800-2900 seated venues and he'll sell out the show easily. In 2005 he did 2 nights at the kool haus in Toronto and that only had a capacity of 2500. So he's no stranger to smaller venues.

With all these rumors of festival slots popping up, maybe Montebello rockfest finally got them this year and that's when they're going to play some Canadian dates around that. If rockfest is still a thing, last I heard is they were going bankrupt. Read an interview after the 2018 edition where Alex Martell said things weren't looking good financially for Rockfest and he's not sure if it'll return next year, or at all. That's not good. That's the last thing Canada needs, is another big music festival like that to bite the dust.

I'm super excited to still not get the 5.1 mix of The Fragile that's been ready to go since 2009. HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!

Funny you mention that, I put on the 5.1 mix of With Teeth a couple weeks ago while doing something around the house and forgot how bad-ass it was. Then I started to question if 5.1 mixes were still a thing. Seemed to be pretty short lived. I an't help but get the feeling that the "special" Fragile thing we got was deviations, and that's all we're going to get regarding the Fragile ever. We salivated for 10 years over some "mystery deluxe super fragile special edition" and all it was was deviations. Yes, I'm disappointed. It's not what I was expecting. Deviations is neat and all, but not what I was expecting. Hope there is something else, but I fear that's it regarding re-releases for The Fragile.

Time to move onto With Teeth now I guess. Give me those missing bonus tracks from the With_Teeth lyrics poster! lol

For realsies. NIN haven't been to Idaho or Utah in 10 years and if there was a show around here, I would be there in a heartbeat.

The White Stripes did, about ten years ago. So did QotSA, I think...

The White Stripes went so far as to play all 10 provinces and 3 territories. How often do bands play Whitehorse or Iqaluit? Never. The answer is never.

This is true, but Queens of the Stone Age did alright also, they played 12 Canadian cities in a row, spring 2008... coast-to-coast from Newfoundland to Saskatchewan to British Columbia...

For LITS NIN played the major centres, Vancouver, Calgary, Toronto etc. But also did a 2nd leg with rarely played cities like Victoria and Kelowna.

Whether we get no dates, they’re limited to just Toronto/Vancouver or we get a full Canadian leg remains to be seen but I’d be most interested to see the venues. It’s be amazing to see a show at the Jubilee Auditorium here in Calgary. It would be weird seeing NIN at a fully seated venue with no pit tho.

Hello fellow Calgarian! I'm going to both shows in Vegas, just in case. I would hope this tour continues in 2019 and they add at least one Canadian date, but at the moment NIN seem to be in a "come down here to see us" kind of a mood.

[sonic_discord]

It's been 5 long years since NIN have been to MN, so it would be nice if they came here next year so I don't have to keep driving to Chicago! (not saying it wasn't worth it, though!)

The Armory in Minneapolis would be such a great venue to see NIN (during WARM months--please don't make me sit outside in below zero weather...).

I could really use some Florida dates. It’s been 5 since Orlando and 4 since Tampa. At this point I’ve seen them more in Chicago than in my entire state (and Vegas is about to surpass both).

Same. I've seen them in Philly, Boston, twice in NYC, and twice at Red Rocks. only four times in Texas, but that's going to change in a couple weeks.

it's the reason I am making a trek to NOLA. Although Florida usually gets dates surrounding a large, all-out tour, when it comes to smaller venues, it's been ignored since the 90s.

It's been over 18 years for RI lol! No one comes to RI anymore. Thankfully, they usually come to Boston or one of the casinos in CT.

They haven't been to Buffalo since Fragility, that's why I usually rely on the Toronto and OH/PA shows.
This year was the year of "fuck it I'm going to travel long distances because he isn't coming nearby". I'm hoping in the next 2-3 years we get a Toronto and "hometown" OH/PA show, but honestly, this tour was WORTH traveling for, so if that's what it takes, I can just do more road trips?

Glastonbury's organizer has said that the 2019 headliner is a "great British artist" who "hasn't had a stage like this before".

Well Atticus is a fucking great British artist if you ask me, sooooooooooooo..............

(let's be real though, I'm sure she's talking about a full on British band or British singer.)

That will be the main stage headliner... I wonder if it's The Cure actually.

They've actually headlined Glasto 3 times before though, but it's been quite a while. I have to wonder if it's Kate Bush even, but that's probably not in the realm of possibility.

It's referring to Stormzy. Apparently it's Stormzy, The Cure and Paul Macartney. Kylie in the legends slot, and both Gallagher brothers playing (so possibly subbing, or headlining the other stage).

NIN would headline other, definitely nowhere near headlining the main stage. They'd so at least a London show too though you'd think, if they played.
