“These were my very first NIN concerts. I had only really gotten into the band fairly recently. When they announced the tour, me and a friend wanted to go see the Cologne show, but he couldn’t make it that date and we dropped the plan. The tour kicked off and the first videos started to hit the internet and I instantly knew I HAD to see and hear this for myself. I checked the venue a week before the date and to my amazement there were a few resale tickets available. I grabbed a ticket, booked a hotel, drove 6 hours to Cologne and saw the greatest show of my life! I drove back the next day, and on a whim booked a ticket for the Amsterdam show, because I simply HAD to see this again. I tumbled down the rabbit hole in Cologne, and I’ve been falling ever since. I fucking love NIN! 🔥❤️”

"I’ve been a fan for over two decades but Cologne was the fist time I finally managed to take the days off of work and secure a ticket. It was incredible! I didn’t want to spoil it so I didn’t check the videos or photos from the previous shows of this tour. I’ve been so amazed , the acoustic part, the two stages, the energy, atmosphere. I loved it so much I booked tickets for the 2 shows in New York the day after Cologne. I had holidays in August and planned to travel in Europe with friends , finally ended in Brooklyn and I do not regret it at all! I hope I’ll be able to catch them again on tour soon :)"

"Cologne and Berlin were my third and fourth Nine Inch Nails shows, but it had been eleven years since I last saw them live. Coming back after that long made these concerts feel incredibly special, easily among my favorite shows ever. The production was stunning, and experiencing it from two completely different perspective, once near the main stage and once right next to the cube, right behind Trent, made it even more unforgettable. What made it even better was the people. I got to meet some amazing fans while waiting in line in Cologne and Berlin, and then again at a small meetup with NIN fans from Discord after the Berlin show. There’s something really unique about connecting with people from all over the world, who share that same deep appreciation for NIN. For a couple of hours, the cynicism and everything happening in the world just fades into the background, and you're fully present in the moment, surrounded by 10,000 people. It's what it's all for, isn't it?"

"It was actually my second NIN show. I know, I know—it’s not that many, but unfortunately Nine Inch Nails don’t play in Germany very often. Still, those two shows were among the best I’ve ever seen! I absolutely loved the first one at the Berlin Zitadelle, but the second show in Cologne completely topped it. I watched both from the front row. I even waited in line for eight hours before the doors opened, but it was so worth it! One of my classmates once brought Pretty Hate Machine to our rehearsal room. At first, I wasn’t really into it—but when Something I Can Never Have started playing, something just clicked. That song completely caught my attention. The rest of the album felt 'too hard' for me at first, but the more I listened, the more I found myself nodding along and getting into it. When The Downward Spiral came out, I instantly fell in love with A Warm Place and Hurt. The deeper I explored that album, the stronger the connection felt. But The Fragile was the first NIN record that grabbed me as a whole—I still love it so much! Hesitation Marks and the soundtracks are also close to my heart. I’m especially drawn to the darker, moody, soft piano instrumentals, but the heavier tracks are amazing too. I have to admit though—I never really liked the remix albums. They just feel unnecessary to me. Anyway, back to the Cologne gig—what an experience! If I’d known beforehand that they were using two stages, I would have booked another show just to see it from above. It was pure fireworks! The most emotional moment for me was Reptile—as soon as the visuals kicked in after Trent’s drawn-out 'ooooooaaaaahhh,' I instantly had tears in my eyes. Sadly, they didn’t play The Perfect Drug or The Hand That Feeds this time, but Wish and Copy of A absolutely made up for it. After the show, I checked out the merch table and found a shirt I loved—but the size M was so big that my friend and I could’ve both fit in it! So I ended up making my own shirt and a poster later, which you can see on my Instagram. I’d go to any NIN show again in a heartbeat—but honestly, I think this one will be impossible to top!"
