“This was my first ever NIИ show! Went with my Pops (his 4th NIИ show) my gf, brother & aunt (also their first times). Didn’t meet much people but that’s just cause i’m socially awkward, I did compliment a couple people & got compliments as well! People were super nice. I’ve heard their songs my whole life, but didn’t know that NIИ was those songs. Truly discovered them shortly after covid: the GhostsV/VI release. Was a fan for Tron which was so exciting & I can’t wait for 3/16. My favorite song was Ruiner(partially acoustic) because of the lyric changes.”

"I have been a fan since I first heard Closer on the radio and watched the music video in 1994. My first NIN concert was in Oct 95 in Tacoma, NIN opening for David Bowie, when i was 18. It was my first ever rock concert and since I have tried not to miss any tours, having now seen them 14x (if you include HDA). For me there's NIN concerts and then all other concerts. For me, TDS was my invitation to understand myself out of the sheltered suburban life and fake religious identity my family claimed. Heresy. Always Heresy. Got one of the souvenir stubs that some poor soul left behind under their seat."

"I traveled to 3 shows in 2025 (Portland, Vancouver, & Seattle) with a close friend, then came home and saw one more show in St. Paul with a few other friends. In 2026, I went on a solo road trip and saw two more shows my myself (Grand Rapids and Milwaukee), but I made a few 'single-serving friends' while waiting for the show to start in front of the B-stage."

"My Dad and I have been huge NINs since I was a kid. Him in particular he’s been a fan since that legendary Woodstock performance.One of the biggest things he’s wanted in life was to take me to a show. We had so many chances to go but life got in the way. Until that Seattle show for the Peel It Back cycle, he decided that no matter what we’re going. For the first time in basically 23 years I finally go to see them with my dad. The fact that I got to see Josh Freese drum and hear a perfect drug live for the first time. It was a blast and I could tell it meant a lot to me and especially my dad. This band means a lot to my dad and I, and I will always remember how important they’ve been to us during the hard times we’ve been through. Love you dad."
