“This tour was my 4th and 5th time seeing NIN but my wife's first and second. We've been together for 11 years and I havent shut up about Trent that whole time. She was kind enough to be my videographer so I could just experience the spectacle and emotion and she loved the first show enough to fly across the country to see another on the second leg. NIN has been a mainstay in my life since I was a teenager, living in group hokes and psych wards, through a decade of addiction, and another decade of recovery and education. I learned to play the piano so I could play the Still versions of TDTWWA, SICNH and so much more. My first show was Lights in the Sky, I had never experienced anything quite like it (and even though this tour was incredible), I still haven't. I still remember the bright red screen for Vessel at that first show, and Vessel was a highlight this time around. I also wasn't familiar with Parasite but seeing it on the B stage in Montreal was pretty mind blowing.
I won't travel to the USA on principle while the orange turd is in office. I had tix to Seattle and Portland as well but had to sell them. Killed me to do it but here's hoping for a third leg with some more Canadian stops. Finally, just gotta say that I loved to see the diverse crowds at both shows here. Special shout out to the two middle aged soccer moms in front of my who rocked the fuck out to Heresy. It was an incredible moment to share with all of you!”

“This was my spouse and I’s first NIN show, after him listening for 34 years and me ~20 years. He told me he scream-sang along to every song. We loved people watching before the show, seeing folks’ tees from various eras and similar bands (tons of skinny puppy shirts in vancouver!). We pointed to the cube at the same time seeing a spot of flashlight illumination just before showtime, knowing it was Trent settling in. The visual effects and lighting were beyond all expectations. Easily the best arena show we’ve been to.”

"NIN has powered me through the worst parts of my life, and I listen to Trent's music habitually - it keeps me steady. This was my first time seeing NIN live, and it demolished any expectations I had going in. I admire the creative spirit behind the project so much, everything they make has absolute intention and care and craftsmanship, and the live experience paired with the production fx was something I'll remember forever. Thank you Trent and Atticus for all you do, things are bad all over but know that your art is appreciated."

"Nine Inch Nails quickly became my one and only comfort band. I became a fan around 2021-2022, right when they had finished a tour. I was devastated because I thought I would never see them live... until dates got leaked and announced. I got tix to Vancouver and it was magical. Then after that, I thought I would never see them again. (Long story short, saw them 3 more times and had the BEST experiences anyone could ever dream of)
The first NIИ song I heard was March Of The Pigs. It was Trent's voice that had me immediately hooked... that and I had never heard music like this before."

"I have seen NIN many times over the years and have been listening since 1991. Head Like a Hole was probably the first song I heard. I actually saw them perform it at the famous Woodstock show in 1994! Everyone covered in mud! Saw them at Lollapalooza in Toronto, at another show with Soundgarden at Molson Park in Barrie ON, in Vancouver a few times, and always love them. This was one of the best shows I have ever seen in my life! Trent just gets better and better! It’s so hard to pinpoint a favourite song from this show, but Less Than, Closer, Reptile…all great! I don’t think there was a mystery lyric tee at my show but I did get a red hoodie, a bag and a t-shirt."
