“This was my first ever NIN show and first ever concert. I travelled from Melbourne Australia. I got into NIN over lockdown and it has helped me through a lot of mentally bad times. The lyrics gave me a way to express emotions I didn't know anyone else had in therapy. When the rumours first started to surface of a tour I watched And All That Could Have Been and I sat there realising I had to see them live or I'd always regret it. I had enough money so I had to go for it. I had a wonderful time in Ireland for a week before the concert, I had some great interactions with other fans noticing their shirts. There was a real sense of community I hadn't experienced before. Dublin was the first show so I didn't know what to expect and lost my mind when the cube curtains dropped the first time. I had gone to get merch so wasn't on the rail but was perfectly between the main stage and cube and about two people away from Trent when he passed through the crowd. On my flight from Dublin to Manchester the whole band was on the flight too which blew my mind. In Manchester I met up with a bunch of wonderful fans on the days before and spent some time with them which was amazing. I had seated tickets for Manchester and London but ended up purchasing GA again to recapture the rush of Dublin. I ended up on the Cube rail on Manchester which was phenomenal. Being that close was so emotional for me, hearing A Minute to Breathe and That's What I Get was transcendent. At London I was on the main rail which was such an incredible experience too and met someone cool when my fishnets got stuck to her choker which was so funny It was probably the best few days of my life and I really felt connected to all those fans. Also go more active in Discordance which is a wonderful community.”

“I had the privilege of seeing the kick-off show in Dublin - which was very different for me gong into a tour with NO prior knowledge or inkling of a setlist and it was amazing to experience that n the age of the internet. The surprise of how the show started and the section with Boys Noize was so shocking and amazing to me that it took me days to actually come to terms with (as a fan of BN since 2007 it was very special). I managed to get a barrier spot behind Atticus in Amsterdam and it was a completely different experience. Being so close to them, watching Trent like 3 feet away... it was out of this world. A completely different take of the show for me, but incredible. Finally, Berlin was the gig that won for me. I wasn't there for the surprise, or for a barrier. I was there for the standard 'concert Experience' except it was a show I'd already seen twice. From a different spot in the arena, the Berlin energy and crowd was second to NONE. This concert was all about letting go and giving into the performance, the energy and the atmosphere. It was one of the best shows Ive ever been to. The silent understanding and connection between the band and the crowd was so strong and it just absolutely blew everything away. The people I met at the Berlin show were the nicest group I've ever met at a show and I hope that's not the only time we meet up for a NIN reason. The people at every show were amazing, such is the NIN community!”

"This was my first NIN show and I went with some of my best friends. I wasn’t in a good mood that day but seeing Trent perform the Frail brought me to a few tears in public, which is good because I often can’t cry even if I want or need to. My day was better from there on out. Last year was not a great year for me, but being at the opening of peel it back was an obvious bright spot which I’ll likely never forget and forever be grateful for. Thank you to anyone and everyone who made it happen."

"This was probably the 15th time I have seen NIN. My first show was twenty years ago at kemper arena in kansas city. They keep getting better which seems impossible but its true."

"It was two days before my chemistry final, I have been a lifelong Bowie fan, and a NIИ fan for the last two years, I was alone in the pit (7 rows from barricade) and on seeing my reaction to IAOA, some dude beside me managed to get me right up to barricade just for that song, it’s still one of my happiest memories. Love that Dude. (ps: I ended up failing chemistry cuz)."

"I was just fresh out of high school and nearing 19 years old, in a huge downward spiral at the time before I rediscovered Nine Inch Nails since I was a kid. I vaguely remember my mom blasting With Teeth on her CD player when I was a newborn. After a horrible revelation, betrayal from friends and being cheated on, I fell apart until I discovered The Fragile. That alvum changed me qnd I've been stuck into the discography and Trent Reznor and his story of him and Nine Inch Nails ever since, with me appreciating the deep cuts and every other song. NIN became a mirror of, rather than escape. First few tracks of Fragile disc one especially, with the title track becoming my all time favourite song. A few months later, the Peel It Back tour was announced and I just knew I HAD to get a ticket no matter what. I didn't care if I couldn't afford a standing ticket and go seated instead, this band just meant so much to me. As a trans girl with an ever persisting gender dysphoria and feeling alone at times, listening to NIN and seeing the first show in the Peel It Back tour; my home felt like I wasn't alone. That there was someone right there beside me in time; a damaged to a healing Reznor screaming and whispering to me through my headphones to a healed and wise Trent performing, pouring his heart and soul out to show me that despite the horrors of the human condition, there is sitll hope, still a way out of this deep fucking hole. I picked up a black tour tee with a red logo and tour dates on the back as a souvenir. A Memorabilia, if you will. The Fragile is the greatest album of pain, torment and human spirit. Nine Inch Nails made me feel comfortable in my strange body I have found myself completely dysphoric in, wishing I was something or someone else. Love you, mom for introducing this band to me. And thank you, Trent for teaching me that I am not alone. Your music has kept me going and your concert was the greatest day of my life. As of today, I'm still learning how to heal and persist through everything. I'm peeling back the layers of myself to not tear myself down, but to understand and overcome my struggles. To quote my mantra: 'Underneath it all, I will keep on.'"

"This was my first ever NIN show and I wasn't prepared for how good of a night it was. Especially opening night of the tour, not knowing what the set or staging would be like, lurking in the NIN discord server and receiving updates from inside while sitting outside having a drink with my friends was unparalleled. The only thing I regret not doing was recording a little bit of Hurt (I don't like recording at concerts but in retrospect it was magical and I'm grateful for everybody else who recorded so I could share a little bit of that.) The set was so special and so was knowing in retrospect I was in the same room as Tony Fucking Hawk (and we passed him skating on the train home the next day.) I stayed up last weekend to catch weekend 2 of Nine Inch Noize and all I wanted to do was jump in a time machine. Also shoutout to the t-shirt I bought with money I bummed off my friend that literally cost more than our seats (love you Ronan!)"
