“My favorite band! I've seen NIN 6 times now and I've got to say, this is my favorite tour. I loved the B-Stage part from the Boston show where it transitioned from Vessel, Closer, As Alive as You Need Me To Be, to Came Back Haunted. Great mix of old and new tracks with stunning visuals! I ended up wearing my Raiden cosplay from Metal Gear Rising at both shows and got so many compliments and met some cool folks! There's suprisingly so much overlap with MGS and NIN fans, it's so cool!!”

"I'm local, born and raised Boston. haven't missed a show since 2005 and I'm pretty sure this last one in February was my favorite of all time. I've been listening to Nine Inch Nails for 24 years. first song I ever heard was pretty hate machine first favorite song was 'something I can never have' and seeing him open this February '26 show with that song was so special. Find my way was also such a treat. Nin has held me in my mind in times when I did not feel safe to be in my body and they have become my home frequency. I got a Reptile lyric tea, but the arm warmers are really what would make 10-year-old me think that I stayed who I am and have become who I wanted to be."

"I’m from Aroostook County in Maine and grew up unable to go to concerts. After With Teeth came out I wanted to go, but I was in high school with no way to do so. The Peel It Back tour and being older/more able to make it to Boston, allowed for me to finally see one of my favorite bands live. They played a lot of my favorites, songs that we didn’t expect to hear. I took so many videos and sang my heart out. I felt like I had the whole experience a lot of people missed out on after the With Teeth era. Favorite song? Can I pick all of them? Maybe Wish honestly. Seeing Kraw’s work on the stage during the set was absolutely phenomenal and inspiring. I shoot concert photography and hope to make it into the pit one of these days. I thought the find a poster thing was cool. I ended up buying two of the peel it back posters and sticking my qr code ticket in a frame with one left in mint condition. SIDE NOTE: My favorite album by NIN is the Still album, The Fragile comes next to that. I have written my best stories getting lost in that album."

"The Boston 2025 show was my first time seeing nin, I am so fucking glad I got pit tickets.. seeing Trent performing on the B stage and seeing the band come up to perform in the middle of the crowd was so beautiful.. and then they fucking ran up on the mainstage to join Josh Freese - the fucking B stage songs with Boys Noize were absolutely incredible. Being able to see them again in February was literally all a dream come true. They scorched through all my favorite songs like Burn, I'm Afraid of Americans, The Perfect Drug, Less Than, She's Gone Away - The Parasite cover was fucking amazing. These were the 2 best shows I have ever attended."

"I am not a concert person, but when I heard about the Peel It Back tour, I knew I had to be there. I was able to get just one face-value ticket on the day the sale opened and knew it was meant to be. I'm so glad I went by myself. NIN has been my favorite band since I was 13, and I spent decades of my life listening in solitude. Trent Reznor made me feel like I wasn't alone. Somehow, his desolation made me feel like I would be okay. Man, seeing him walk out from backstage about 20 feet away was a trip. I smacked a lady next to me in excitement! I have never seen anything like a NIN show. I know now that I will go again, despite not being a concert person. Seeing that show changed my life and allowed me to embrace all the ugly, broken parts of me. Now I'm showing up in all areas of life as myself, not just a replica of me."

"NIN has been my husband’s favourite band since he was a teenager (he’s 44), but even though I heard them on the radio all the time growing up, their music never resonated with me. When he discovered they were coming to Toronto, he decided he would go. I politely declined his invitation to attend with him. In the week leading up to the show, we listened to a bunch of NIN together in anticipation of the concert. Suddenly, I got it. The themes of pain, suffering, and grief that didn’t quite land when I was a teenager have a new valence now that I’m 39 and have been in treatment for stage IV cancer for five years. When he sent me a video of 'Head Like a Hole' live, I realized NIN just might be my favourite band ever. After a week of regret, bingeing the entire NIN catalogue, and badgering my husband, we drove from Montreal to Boston so I could experience them live — maybe for the only time in my life. It was an incredible show, but left me wanting to see them again. I was obsessed. It was affecting my daily life. I figured that if I could hold on for another five years (a tall order for a cancer patient), maybe I’d get to see them again — even though it wouldn’t be Peel It Back. If manifestation is even remotely real, I take full responsibility for the second leg of PIB. Being in the pit in Montreal with my husband, six feet away from Trent and the band, is a memory I will carry with me til my dying day (which will hopefully be more than five years from now, so that I can experience NIN live again)."
