“I saw two shows, my first time seeing NIN. My mom with me in Brooklyn, then my dad in Newark. I’ve been listening to NIN for about five years now. TDS blew my mind. When I got into The Fragile it was sealed. The two shows I saw were just about identical, and I’m not complaining.”

"I started listening to NIN after seeing the episode of 'Twin Peaks: The Return' they were featured in, and was immediately enamored by the raw grit in their music in that episode ('She’s Gone Away'). I had also never heard anything like their music before as I was 13 at that time (now 21). As I kept digging into their catalog, the more I found myself relating to Trent Reznor’s lyrics. I’m someone with social anxiety, so the lyrics really spoke to me in a way that made me feel like I wasn’t alone in my struggles. So this past September was my very first time seeing them, and I knew upon the announcement that I had to go as their music has honestly been therapeutic to me. I think my favorite song I heard during the concert was 'Vessel' just because of the very cool collaboration with Boys Noize on stage. I mean just the idea of having a B-stage was brilliant as it created this environment of just pure creativity and experimentation that, as an aspiring producer myself, was incredibly inspiring. And the visuals were absolutely breathtaking and raw and beautiful, and it just says to me as a fan that they care deeply about creating an everlasting experience for everyone. Seeing this show was very cathartic for me, and it really made me see music in a new way."

"We traveled from Costa Rica to see the show. I managed to see NIN's last tour when they played Red Rocks, that was my first time seeing the band live and at such venue you can imagine it blew me away. I needed to see NIN again, this time I brought my partner with me and we had a blast even though I was feeling like shit because I had a bad cold. Met some lovely people on our way to the venue, a complete stranger with his GF payed for our taxi and helped out get to the venue quicker. Reptile and Copy of A were the highlights for me, one of the best shows I've been to."

"I’ve been listening to NIN since high school (the early 00’s for me), but I had never seen them live. Over the past decade my body has been deteriorating due to a connective tissue disorder, so the song The Fragile has become an anthem, with 'I won’t let you fall apart' becoming a rallying cry to keep fighting. I was 4 years post-stroke and 6 months post open heart surgery when I decided to spend back-to-back nights in the pit at SOAD/Korn & NIN, because nothing beats the energy of live music with a hot crowd. The lights/production on the show were incredible, so I went to back to the pit for Brooklyn N1 and Newark. Made several new friends, including Santa. Personal highlights were Right Where It Belongs, Copy of A, and Mr. Self Destruct."

"I'd only ever seen NIN on my own before, so the Peel It Back tour was special because I saw them with friends for the first time, freaking out over the songs and screaming until our lungs were hoarse.

In Brooklyn, I went with two of my best friends and artistic collaborators, and we got to see The Perfect Drug for the first time, made even better when Trent got pissed right before the solo and hurled his guitar into their air. We managed to be super close to the B-Stage, and seeing the floor turn into the biggest rave imaginable was a full-body sober high.

Boston was especially special, because I went with one of my oldest friends. We met in high school fifteen years ago because I was wearing a Pretty Hate Machine shirt, and she recognized it. We were right up at the rail again for the B-Stage set, so to see the curtain drop and to hear Something I Can Never Have was a truly spiritual experience. My friend had been a fan for most of her life, and she'd never seen them live, so to get to take her was really special. Plus, She's Gone Away, Burn, and Somewhat Damaged were absolute barn-burners."

"This was the second time I saw them live. They have been my absolute favorite band for over 30 years now, since I was a teenager and 1st heard a Downward Spiral. When I walked into the venue, Trent was just getting to the B stage and I knew this was about to be the most amazing musical experience I have witnessed.  It was such a treat to hear I’m Afraid of Americans Live. They played so many of my favorites. The visuals during Reptile were absolutely amazing. And just like the 1st time I saw them, I balled hearing Hurt Live. So much raw emotion. It was transcendent."

"I have been listening to Nine Inch Nails since 1993. I’ve seen them live seven times. I scooped a lyric tee at the Newark show. I saw the 9/2 show alone. Sat next to God’s ear. I was in love with this production from the moment Boyz Noize started making his dark magic. I wouldn’t shut up about it, so my wife decided that’s how we were going to spend Valentine’s Day. It was just as magical the second time."
