“Nine Inch Nails Peel it back tour was my first concert experience ever. Me and my dad traveled a few hours away to see the show that changed my life. I’ve been a Nine Inch Nails fan for about 2 and a half years now and i’ve never been interested in music or any bands like my friends, but as soon as I heard Trent’s voice in the song 'Closer' something awakened in me. I knew immediately that I would fall in love with more of his music, and that’s what exactly happened. Trent’s music opened me up to new religious beliefs and the act of achieving sobriety, especially at my young age. At the NIN Raleigh show on september 5th, I cried the whole night, I wasn’t sure if it was sadness or pure joy but it was nothing i’ve ever felt before. Everyday since, i’ve been showing pure devotion to Trent and his band and I couldn’t thank him enough. I look back at my concert recordings and I feel a surge of excitement at the thought of seeing them once again in the future.”

“Went to the show with my best friend, Stacy. We’ve both loved Nine Inch Nails for years. Both her and the band have been with me in my darkest and most challenging times and I hope she can say the same about me for her. It felt as though everyone else there had a similar experience, Trent Reznor included. When he played ‘Hurt’ at the very end of his set, I started thinking about how he had been through so much shit but he is so much happier now. He got clean, he has a family, he does what he loves for a living, I could go on. He got better. Despite all the angst and suffering that he expressed in his music that helped the rest of us get through our own shit, he got better. I realized I had too. I realized my best friend had too. I realized there was once a time where all of us could have ended up dead with our heads blown against wall. I was so glad it didn’t turn out that way. That was the first time my friend watched me ugly cry. I love her. Trent Reznor rocks.”

"I went to Raleigh and DC. I had good seat mates and we all were respectful and just enjoying the moment. I have been a fan since 1992 with Wish and have never looked back. I bought the 2025 tour shirt and The Perfect Drug shirt. Definitely The Perfect Drug live was everything I hoped it would be."

"My first nin show but not my first concert. It was amazing and visually stunning. When I saw tour dates released I knew I had to go because Raleigh is practically in my backyard. I saw it with some friends and my sibling, all who I have subjected to hours of listening to nin in my car lol. I got seats up in the nosebleeds (the pit was not in budget lol) so everyone one was tiny, but it did not stop me and my friends from being completely absorbed by the music. I tried my hardest to not see spoliers for the setlist, I wanted to go in blind and I was excited to hear parts of Ruiner, but the true highlight was hearing Reptile and its captivating lighting set up. I first heard closer and hurt some time in middle/high school over the radio but never thought too much of it. then in January of 2024 I decided to give the downwards spiral a proper full listen and I was hooked forever. Its also special because 2024 was the 30 year anniversary of it, so on top of my new found addiction I also got to see an important time in nin history. I left with one of the Tron release date tickets and lots of energy from the show!"

"This was my first time seeing NIИ and I saw the show with my aunt. NIИ has always been my favorite band and I got to see them at a very rough time in my life, which made me feel so much better. Seeing them play Mr Self Destruct live made a core memory that I will remember for years to come."

"fucking amazing i bought a t shirt from a mysterious man on the side of the road for 20$"

"Last NIN concert was Raleigh, NC 2022. Year 2023 for me was cancer diagnosis, treatment, survival mode… tragic death in my family..grief..abusive partner after 10 years… Fucker…. 2024 for me was starting over, still survival mode..doubt….2025 went to NIN Raleigh, NC alone… brave … excited to see them again… and I was RESURRECTED…remembered my true self… love you NIN! You rocked me in Charlotte NC as well! 2026= love, hope, happiness, and Dancing my ass off to NIN and boys noize !!"

"This was my first time seeing NIN live after listening to them for many years. My mom has been a long time fan and she saw them when she was my age so it was a full circle moment for us. I was able to snag a poster when they were still exclusive to the first 20 people per show. Some woman ended up getting drunk and spilling her beer all over my poster then proceeded to act like nothing happend but the woman behind me saw it and took her jacket off to give to me and let me wipe the beer off with it. Throughout the show I sung my heart out and another woman saw me and made it a point to tell me that she appreciated how I knew all of the lyrics. It was really amazing to see how kind the fan base could be and there was such a large since of community within all of the crowd. Im eternally grateful that I was able to attend this show and I hope to see many more in the future!"

"I’ve been a nine inch nails fan since I was 7. The first time I heard The Perfect Drug on Rock Band along with my brother ripping The Hand That Feeds and Only onto multiple cd’s, I knew it was a band I could not get enough of. I started meeting friends who enjoyed it around when Add Violence came out and it just grew from there to the point where I found a new solid group of lifetime friends. We finally were able to get together in 2025 at a central meeting point in Fort Worth, Texas for the show at Dickie’s Arena. Being able to dance with my friends right in front of Boys Noize and being able to have my friends enjoy themselves to such an amazing degree was a beautiful sight to see. I wouldn’t trade those moments for anything and I love them all dearly."
