“I've known about NIN since 2000s but never got into them until Feb 2022, when the war started in my country. Their music has been keeping me sane ever since. At that point I didn't even hope to see them live, but miraculously got the chance in 2025 (22 hours by bus and another 36 hours to get home after). Trent at the piano, the first notes of my first NIN show got me sobbing so hard I thought I'd suffocate. I cried half the show, I yelled my head off the other half. It was cathartic beyond description, and I never thought I'd suddenly bawl during the end of TPD and continue to bawl and jump and headbang during HLAH. At home, I couldn't scream to let myself go, I got so numb I didn't think I could feel again. NIN cracked me open and let me feel again. I had a list of songs I wanted to hear live, and got 70% of that list on my 2 shows! Tried both seating and pit to have a different experience, and this show really has no wrong seating, wherever you are you can see so much going on from every side. The lighting, the sound, the projections, it's wild, mindblowing, overwhelming to the level of shellshocked! I also got really lucky and Trent signed my phone case, so it's a perfect gift from a perfect concert experience. These guys saved my life. I hope I get to experience this once more some day.”

"I'll always travel to catch the beginning of a NIN tour. Plus, it was helpful to add Ireland (and two other countries & US cities) to my NINTOURHISTORY. I've been a fan since 1989, but didn't catch the band live until 1991. Again, this band melted my face at each performance!"
