    Nine Inch Nails concert chronology

    The Peel It Back Tour is an ongoing concert tour by the American industrial rock band Nine Inch Nails, consisting of Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross and joined by longtime touring members Robin Finck, Alessandro Cortini, and Ilan Rubin. The tour opened on June 15, 2025 in Dublin, Ireland, with additional dates in Europe, the United States, and Canada. It is the band's first tour since their US and UK shows in 2022. Boys Noize is the opening act for every show on the tour.

    After Reznor and Ross had focused on composing film scores, they made plans to put their creative inspiration into new Nine Inch Nails work. A new Nine Inch Nails project was expected since December 2024, and leaks regarding concert dates began in mid-January 2025 until the band confirmed their tour, but the announcement had been delayed due to the ongoing Los Angeles wildfires. They later confirmed dates with a European leg starting in June and ending in July; and a North American leg starting in August and ending in September.

    Background

    In April 2024, Nine Inch Nails announced numerous upcoming projects through new multimedia company With Teeth, including a music festival, a new album, short film, and video game. In August, they announced that the band would compose the score to Disney's Tron: Ares (2025), the first of Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross's film scores to credit the Nine Inch Nails name after over a dozen prior works.[1][2][3] After having been focused more on film scores,[4] Reznor indicated in December 2024 that he and Ross were "taking the inspiration we've garnered and funneling it into a Nine Inch Nails project", and that the duo was ready to return to the "driver's seat".[5] Reznor elaborated that material released by "Nine Inch Nails" had been their work in relation to the zeitgeist, which he felt less connected to as he aged, but said that this purpose was changing, and that beyond the Tron score he mused that other Nine Inch Nails activity in 2025 was not out of the question.[6]

    Plans for a tour titled "Peel It Back" leaked on January 13, 2025, the title alluding to the band's song "March of the Pigs" from The Downward Spiral (1994).[4] These leaks indicated August and September shows in the United States, Canada, and Europe; a September 10 date at Amalie Arena in Tampa, Florida suggested that tickets were going on sale starting January 17.[7] The leaks included an associated Ticketmaster listing for the Tampa date, with numerous concert locations in America emerging online, as well as in Toronto, Canada and Manchester, England.[1] On the 14th, the band confirmed they were touring, with further details to follow, but their announcement was paused due to the concurrent Los Angeles wildfires.[4][8] The Peel It Back Tour would mark the band's first tour since the completion of their 2022 US and UK shows.[4]

    Dates for a North American leg were indicated by the online leaks with shows in Brooklyn, Tampa, Atlanta, Raleigh, Philadelphia, Toronto, and Cleveland; as well dates for a Europe leg with shows in Manchester and London.[4] On January 22, 2025, Nine Inch Nails announced the tour dates, with a European leg starting in June in Dublin and ending in July; and a North American leg starting in August and ending in September in Los Angeles.[9] The tour includes arena shows and stops at European music festivals, with tickets going on sale on January 29, 2025.[10] Three more shows were added to the tour on January 29, to go on sale on the 31st.[11]

    On March 5, Nine Inch Nails announced that Boys Noize, who completed the Challengers (MIXED) remix album for their 2024 film score of the film Challengers, would open for the band on every show of the Peel It Back Tour.[12] At the June 15 opening show in Ireland, the band's lineup was revealed which, along with Reznor and Ross, included Robin Finck, Alessandro Cortini, and Ilan Rubin. The lineup remained the same for the fourth consecutive tour in a row, making for the longest stretch in the band's history to date. Opening act Boys Noize also joined Nine Inch Nails on-stage for multiple songs on a secondary stage.[13]

    Concerning the debut show, The Times opined it was "a thrilling onslaught" of "angst, sincerity and a nightmarish otherworldliness" that brought to mind Reznor's recently passed creative collaborator David Lynch.[15] Of the same show, The Irish Times gave it a four out of five star rating.[16] Both papers agreed that the show took a little while to get into gear.[15][16]
