“So I live in Australia and we have not had a tour since 2014. I was planning to travel to Canada and the US at some point between 2025 and 2026 to visit family, but NIN’s tour cemented the plans. It was a big deal because I had never travelled overseas before and I did so on my own, given that I am disabled and struggle a lot with daily life (my friends and family were super accommodating). I have been a fan for 20 years, on and off in the online fan communities for that long too. I had met people way back from both NIN and other adjacent fan communities who remained friends on Facebook all this time, but this tour brought us closer (no pun). Seeing the shows filled a void in me. It was something I had hoped for every year since 2014. While at the shows, I met the amazing fans from Discordance, finding myself making new friends that I talk to almost every day. It was one of the major highlights of the tour. I got way more involved in sharing NIN related content and news to the community. I also got involved in handmade fan crafts trade (bracelets, keychains, stickers, etc). I have a collection of gifts from fans and gave out a ton of my own. Also got to make more stickers over the holidays to send out, focusing more on my own designs (Aussie Pigs, Captain Starfucker, Nine Inch Noels etc) plus some Discordance faves. The big ticket item I took home was the Peel It Back poster, gifted to me by the other Aussie on tour, Arlo on lighting. I met him in NY, he was stuffing his face with a meat pie (as we Aussies do) and he recognised my Aussie Pigs cape, because he had the sticker on his flight case. I also got to meet Kraw in NY, and in Tampa, he offered me and my friend floor passes, so that was really sweet of him. The Philly show was the highlight. We had a perfect view of Santa crowd surfing and the pit going wild. When we returned to the hotel, my friend and I could not stop mimicking TR when he mocked the heckler. I promised to use that as a sample in a track or something when I got back home, but while I was unable to go exploring NY because I got the dreaded NINfluenza like many other fans, I realised I could just try something on my iPad, so I made a silly song with it in one day. We then recorded a music video in her 'disco garage' of us dancing and being silly. We don’t need to take ourselves seriously to be NIN fans, in fact, many of us don’t. TL;DR: Travelled from Australia, saw NIN, gave out lots of stickers and keyrings, made lots of friends along the way, did silly shit, had the time of my life.”

“These were my second (8/23/25) and third 2/16/26) Nine Inch Nails shows, my first being the Fragility tour in Montreal back in 2000. I discovered NIN around the time 'The Perfect Drug' was released, but I quickly became obsessed with The Downward Spiral. Hearing 'Heresy' and 'Mr. Self Destruct' live was an absolute blast; pure catharsis. The solo piano version of 'Something I Can Never Have' in Montreal was stunning, and that 'Closer' remix? Absolutely brilliant.”

“I have been listening to NIN for 25 + years. Toronto was the first time I was able to afford tickets to see them, but I live in Montreal, which means I had to travel. I said 'fuck it' and I went with one of my besties. It is to be noted that I am an anxious person and going to live shows is always a struggle, but boy was it worth it. As soon as I saw Trent on stage, playing 'Right Where it Belongs', I started crying my eyes out. This is where I belong too. It was an experience of a spiritual level. It took me several weeks to 'snap out of it' (I was reluctant to do so). When they announced the second leg of the tour with a Mtl date, I did not hesitate one second and bought tickets again, this time taking my brother, who doesn't really know NIN, but is an electronic music aficionado. We had an absolute blast and I still feel like none of it really happened. Nine Inch Nails is the one constant in my life. My base. My comfort. Tonight is the Hamilton show and I am picturing Trent on stage, giving his all to lucky fans. And I think to myself... 'Lucky me'.”

"This was my fifth NIN concert, (2000, 2008, 2013, 2025, 2026 (Hamilton/Toronto). In 2008, I was 3 months pregnant with my son at the Hamilton Hand that Feeds tour. Now, in 2026 I raged with him, now 16 years old, in the pit at the Hamilton show, bringing it full circle! I fell in love with NIN at 16 too, with the Fragile album (my favourite). My favourite LIVE song is Gave Up. My son’s were Reptile and Head Like a Hole. We both moshed as hard as we could, clinging on to each other, laughing and singing all night. It was an incredible experience, to share something with my child that feels the same in 2026 as it did in 2000…. A timeless sort of revelry, being present and emotive with a group of passionate humans that have been drawn in by the same fire. My 13 year old son was also there, but sat in the first level, (it being his first concert,) his favourite song was As Alive as You Need Me To Be, (an excellent gateway song for a young person!) Of course I bought them both t-shirts! And I wore my original 'ninety-nine' t-shirt from when I was 16!"

"I became obsessed with NIN in the couple of months leading up to the summer of 2025, and the obsession hit me with the weight of a 1000 ton truck. I wasn’t anticipating it at all (it started just casually listening to Pretty Hate Machine a few times with my best friend as we painted our nails), but before I knew it I was emotionally invested and attached to NIN as an entire concept; Trent and his artistry became a kind of beacon for me, a comfort after a long time of feeling like I had nothing to turn to. I was very luckily was able to go to the Toronto show, and it was unlike anything I thought it’d be. It felt religious even from the rafters, and for the Hamilton show, I managed to get seats in a floor suite right next to the stage. My breath was just taken away, to see this person I essentially turned into an idol in such close proximity to me, haloed by the lights and everything; his voice booming in my chest. It really is unlike anything out there. I think Piggy (nothing can stop me now) was my favourite song played live because of the insane volumetric lighting! I managed to get the black tour tee and the reptile hoodie <3 I hope the band can keep going for years to come :)"

"This being my 8th and 9th times respectively seeing NIN, I was once again blown away by how drastically different this tour looked and felt. I haven't been properly in awe of the production since Lights In The Sky. I'm not saying other tours looked or sounded bad, but P.I.B. upped the ante on visual spectacle. Having been hooked on them now for 21 years and counting, Trent (and more recently Atticus) never cease to amaze me with how each album can feel entirely different from one another, yet still very much carry that all too familiar 'Nine Inch Nails' sound. On top of that, how each of these new sounds and eras are presented always tend to be highly original and fascinating. If P.I.B. ever ended up being the final NIN tour, it would be an impeccable high note to go out on. All I know is that whether we get more tours that go grandiose and massive, or more stripped back (e.g. NIN/JA, Wave Goodbye), I know it will be nothing but the highest quality."

"This was my second time seeing them! My whole family are fans and had introduced me to them when I was little. I had seen them when I was such a small child in 2013, and had to wait over a decade to see them live again! It was truly an otherworldly experience, tears were shed, feet were stepped on. My favourite was definitely Piggy or Vessel, but I had such an amazing time during EVERY SONG. Due to unforeseen circumstances and transportation issues, the Toronto show was lacking visual and audio tools. Touché to Trent & Co for putting on SUCH an amazing and breathtaking performance despite missing fundamental show equipment, I would have never guessed!"

"My first time seeing NIN (which was my first ever concert) was during the 2014 North American Tour in Toronto. I’ve listened to NIN probably my whole life (thanks dad), but became a fan in my early teens. First song I think I heard and sparked my love for NIN was “The Day the World Went Away.” First ever CD was Year Zero. I’d say when beginning high school I became obsessed with NIN. The first two years of high school was a weird time for me, and NIN was there to help me through it. This tour has been fantastic, everything they’ve played has been amazing. It’s hard to choose a favourite, but hearing The Frail opening for Reptile and Somewhat Damaged was definitely a highlight for me. I feel like anything from The Fragile is an absolute treat for any fan to hear live."

"I have seen NIN 7 times, and each time was amazing. I've been a massive fan of Trent Reznor and NIN for 30+ years, and a fun fact about myself is we share the same birthday. But these last 2 shows I have been able to share with my sons, 17 and 25, and that has meant so much to me. I didn't know if they would ever tour again, but I promised my boys if they did, we would be there, and even get tattoos together. Imagine my delight when we got to see them once in August, get our tattoos, and then again in February. We waited for hours in the freezing rain in Hamilton, hoping to get right on the barrier and we did. Mere feet away from Trent, with my boys, was the most epic experience I don't know that I'll ever be able to match. Thank you for letting me share my story!"

"This was my first big concert. I didn't necessarily interact with anyone there as I went alone but I had fun screaming with everyone else in my row. I've loved nin since 2021. I ended up with a major heart condition in 2023, spending my 17th birthday in the ICU. I remember ordering a knockoff nin shirt off Amazon that year that never actually came. At my show, however, I finally got a PIB shirt. Just a really nice full circle moment for me."
