NIN touring in 2019 (?)

[Deepvoid]

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
