Peel It Back Tour 2025

Nine Inch Nails, often referenced as NIN or stylised as NIИ, was formed in the late 80s when Trent Reznor, who had previously performed in synth-pop bands Exotic Birds and The Innocent, began to gain confidence in himself as a producer and songwriter.

Working as a caretaker at Right Track Studio in Cleveland, Ohio, he was allowed to make full use of the equipment when no other paying bands were booked in. Writing and performing almost each part, he started working on his first NIN demos such as Purest Feeling, which he sent to prospective labels and which was picked up by the indie TVT Records.

In 1989, Reznor developed this demo into his debut album Pretty Hate Machine. Featuring the tracks ‘Down In It’ and ‘Sin’, both of which had controversial music videos in their own rights, the debut received modest success initially, placing 75th on the Billboard 200. But as their popularity soon increased, the debut began to gain a fan following and by 1995 became one of the first independent releases to achieve platinum certification. Pretty Hate Machine established the dark, industrial sound and impassioned lyricism now synonymous with NIN, while keeping some of the melodic and rhythmic sensibilities of new wave typical of the late 80s. 

As a new decade dawned, Reznor and his live band earned a reputation for a visceral and raucous live show, performing at the inaugural Lollapalooza festival in 1991. After a feud with TVT, he, after plenty of reassurances, partnered with Interscope Records to create Nothing Records, on which the 1992 EP Broken was released. This time reaching the top ten of Billboard 200, the release featured the song ‘Wish’, which picked up that year’s Grammy Award for Best Metal Performance. ‘Happiness In Slavery’, another song from Broken, received the same award in 1996 for their muddied performance at Woodstock ‘94. The song also joined Reznor’s repertoire of controversial music videos, almost completely banned upon its release.

Working from his Los Angeles studio nicknamed ‘Le Pig’, Reznor worked on the second NIN full-length The Downward Spiral, a conceptual album based on man’s self-destruction. While the bubbling, bassy synths of ‘Heresy’ might have harked back to the debut, on The Downward Spiral the serrated edges, metallic thuds and cacophonic fuzz of industrial rock were amped up to another level, as the album’s opener ‘Mr. Self Destruct’ announced early on. The album was lead by the heady, animalistic ‘Closer’ and the thrashy ‘March of the Pigs’, but is perhaps just as known for the eerie closer ‘Hurt’, which Johnny Cash covered in 2002 to such acclaim that Reznor later admitted “that song isn’t mine anymore.” Nevertheless, The Downward Spiral pinned NIN into the 90s zeitgeist, and is considered one of the decade’s classic albums. 

A period of relative quiet followed in the wake of The Downward Spiral’s momentous success, though Reznor worked on the soundtrack for Oliver Stone’s Natural Born Killers (1994) and later David Lynch’s Lost Highway, sparking a fruitful creative pursuit that would see him score films including The Social Network (2010), Gone Girl (2014), Soul (2020) and Challengers (2024). Perhaps making up for the five year wait, in 1999 NIN released a double album, The Fragile. Inspired by addiction issues, the album featured tracks such as ‘We’re In This Together’, ‘Into The Void’ and ‘The Wretched’, turning down the fuzz to create more dynamism and variety, allowing more space for elements of electronica and other alternative styles. It became the band’s first chart-topping album. 

Reznor’s solo approach from the outset was undoubtedly crucial to NIN’s appeal, but all of history’s creative geniuses have battled their shadows; he has himself admitted in interviews that  he often felt like a loner or outsider. His partnership with Atticus Ross in 2005 was a turning point, then – though he wouldn’t officially be a full member of the band until 2016. Ross, alongside Foo Fighter's Dave Grohl, both featured on 2005's With Teeth, a rock-heavy album that saw Reznor's focus move beyond internal struggles to look around him and comment on wider society. Though more of a traditional album, 2007's Year Zero returned to conceptual format, taking a stronger political angle with its dystopian prediction of the year 2022.

The next two decades were prolific for NIN, seeing the release of albums such as The Slip, Bad Witch and the Ghost series. Nine Inch Nails return to the UK in June 2025, performing at The O2, London and Co-op Live, Manchester as part of the Peel It Back Tour.

  • It's been 26 years...

    by Red on 02/07/2025The O2 - LondonRating: 5 out of 5

    Not seen this mob for a time, a long time, last century... Very different outfit now, still processing the show, 2 weeks later. I went with no expectations, been a while since I stepped into a venue this size but this been Nine Inch Nails, I wasn't disappointed, not for a second. They delivered on many, various levels, something that long-time fans & newcomers would agree with. The choice of venue size on seeing the show's layout made sense, to deliver the complexity of the production would be near impossible in smaller venues & lost (possibly pointless) in Stadiums or Festivals, this production has to be experienced within the confines of an Arena this size. The thinking behind the set design is on another level. With 45+ years of attending & working in live entertainments of all sizes behind me, I've not seen a show anywhere near close (including Britney) to this performance. The inclusion of a 2nd Stage mid-arena raised the bar (watch others slavishly copy), the show opened with 'Act 1', a paired down acoustic set, It takes balls to perform stripped back, near acoustic versions of well loved songs & aside from one clown making his point loudly, this was an unexpected highlight. 'Act 2' followed seamlessly on the main stage, visually stunning but it could've been louder, these old ears of mine 'Act 3' returned to the 'B' stage, this time with the NiNclusion of the support DJ - Boys Noize, a long-time collaborator, turning what is a mega-barn of a venue with notorious acoustics into an intimate setting, akin to a dark, steamy hinterstraße Berlin club & raucous it was. NIN executed this with great aplomb, giving the audience a far more personal experience, affording many to see close-up, the mechanics of what I believe to be a composer at the height of his powers, many will regret not been a part of this but for those that did attend, something that left an indelible impression on young & old alike. 'Act 4' reconvened on the main stage, this was a powerful last part of the show, a tricky moment late on obviously aggrieved the perfectionist in Reznor, (that poor guitar) but based on what I saw when they started out in the early 1990's, these problems only served to intensify his performance, as was the case tonight, good to see a little of that old anger resurfacing. For me, gigs are personal, some profound, others less so, based on what I experienced with this band previously, tonight was a road to Damascus conversion, for any that are thinking of going to the remaining shows but are hesitating for one reason or another, take my advice; Beg, borrow or steal a ticket. Near flawless.

  • Amazing!!

    I've seen nine inch nails 10 times now they just the most amazing live band! Trent is one talented man!

  • Great band, great venue, drinks a rip off

    by MGR on 21/06/2025Co-op Live - ManchesterRating: 4 out of 5

    Great band, great venue, drinks a rip off. £3.80 for a can of Pepsi!

  • NIN amazing, O2 disappointing

    by Dedman on 19/06/2025The O2 - LondonRating: 5 out of 5

    It's NIN - say no more.... fanstatic and the visual aspect was astounding (despite technical issues) but the real annoyance of the night was the rudeness of the bar managers and shutting all the bars before 9.15 despite the gig going on for another hour. It was really hot and not being able to get a drink for an hour was dreadful

  • Was actually bored

    by Trentzzz on 19/06/2025The O2 - LondonRating: 1 out of 5

    One of my favourite bands but this show was boring. The repeated juggling between stages was pointless. And the tech problems were really off putting. Not good enough for the price.

  • Jolly good night

    by Mick p on 18/06/2025Co-op Live - ManchesterRating: 5 out of 5

    N. I. N. We're well on top form, my partner had seen them before & it was my first time but it won't be the last, I'll definitely go to see them again. The Security & & stewards were all very helpful & polite especially the steward by where we were sitting in block 310. The only drawer back from the whole night was the price of the merchandise which was a bit costly, apart from that it was a great night in a great venue, Iv been to the coop arena before & we will be back again to see another band hopefully sometime soon. Thank you to all at the coop arena.

  • Absolutely loved it!!!

    by Morph on 18/06/2025Co-op Live - ManchesterRating: 4 out of 5

    A few tracks missing for me!! Disappointed that standing crowd didn't reflect the energy I felt in seated area and wonder if that affected abrupt end and no encore. Still amazing though and utterly unforgettable bucket list item check!

  • Excellent gig as usual 🤘🏼🤘🏼

    by Andy P on 18/06/2025Co-op Live - ManchesterRating: 5 out of 5

    Excellent gig with a few updated songs. A very impressive show! 🤘🏼🤘🏼🔥

  • BAND GREAT, ARENA SOUND AWFUL

    by The Witchy Goth on 18/06/2025Co-op Live - ManchesterRating: 4 out of 5

    Nine Inch Nails never disappoint. The staff in the Premium section were amazing. However, £3.30 for a can of water is ridiculous. Take your card with you as there is pretty much no acceptance of cash. Parking was ample, but getting out a nightmare. I already knew this, so had a sandwich in my car and waited until another gate was opened. My major complaint is the sound in the arena. It is really bad, especially for a band like NIN. I was seated in the Premier section, but the acoustics are awful. It was virtually impossible to hear the actual songs, due to the reverberations. I saw Stevie Nicks there last year and was seated high up, but her music is different to NIN, so, it was OK. I have seen NIN at the MEN and at Nottingham Arena and both had much better sound. Overall, 10/10 for the service and staff, 9/10 for NIN as they didn't play Closer, 1/10 for the cost of a water and 1/10 for the acoustics.

  • Absolutely Brilliant

    by Jo on 18/06/2025Co-op Live - ManchesterRating: 5 out of 5

    Loved every moment of the gig including the introductory opening act Boys Noize. Trent and Co are awesome. Full on wall to wall headbanging cacophonous musical noise ... wonderful :)
