Nine Inch Nails main man Trent Reznor confirmed in a new post that the band planned to tour later this year until the COVID-19 pandemic broke out. The tour had been set to launch on September 15th in San Diego, playing multiple nights in a number of cities before closing out with a five-night stand in Toronto at the end of October.
Reznor is now selling merchandise for this scrapped outing and donating the proceeds to food banks in the cities that the tour had been slated to hit.
Reznor is using the current quarantine to work on new music on several fronts, including Nine Inch Nails. He wrote, “The current plan is to finish up some scoring projects, work on my limited patience skills, deep dive into new NIN material, and hopefully be playing music live for you in 2021.”
Reznor also shared “an incredible fan-made full length concert film” from NIN’s 2018 “Cold and Black and Infinite” tour. He also encouraged his fans to “continue to listen to Bowie, and don’t be too hard on yourself.”
Later this year, Nine Inch Nails are set to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame alongside Depeche Mode, The Notorious B.I.G., T. Rex and the Doobie Brothers.
