^ Festival date
“Peel It Back” is a nod to NINE INCH NAILS‘ 1994 song “March Of The Pigs”.
Inducted into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame in 2020, NINE INCH NAILS have sold over 30 million records worldwide.
NINE INCH NAILS last performed in 2022 but hasn’t embarked on a world tour since “The Trilogy Tour” of 2017 and 2018.
In recent years, Reznor and longtime collaborator and now-NINE INCH NAILS bandmate Atticus Ross have been busy scoring movies, receiving a number of awards, including a Golden Globe for “Challengers”.
In the spring of 2024, Reznor and Ross spoke about their plans for NINE INCH NAILS, including a possible new album. “I do feel excited about starting on the next record,” Ross said. “I think we’re in a place now where we kind of have an idea.”
In December, Reznor confirmed that he and Ross were “taking the inspiration we’ve garnered and funneling it into a NINE INCH NAILS project, which we’re working on now. We’re ready to be back in the driver’s seat.”
In March 2020, NINE INCH NAILS surprise-released two new albums: “Ghosts V: Together” and “Ghosts VI: Locusts”. Consisting of 23 new instrumental tracks, they were described on NIN‘s web site as “two different records for two different mindsets.”
Prior to “Ghosts V: Together” and “Ghosts VI: Locusts”, Reznor and Ross last shared new NINE INCH NAILS music in a series of records released over three years: “Not The Actual Events” in 2016, “Add Violence” in 2017 and “Bad Witch” in 2018, with the latter followed by a tour.
