"This was my first NIN concert ever! I convinced my dad to take me after he and my mom saw them a week or so earlier, and it was also partially a going-away gift for me moving countries, so he got us floor seats, right up on the B-stage rail, where I got a fist bump from Trent! I had been a casual fan, but since the show NIN has been a part of my everyday, both during the fun and the tough times, it seems NIN has come into my life at just the perfect timing. All the songs were memorable, but Reptile, Ruiner, Copy Of A, Head Like A Hole, and Vessel were absolutely mind blowing. I ended up taking home a March Of The Pigs and a Perfect Drug lyric tee, as well as a whole new appreciation for NIN. Seeing them live was so surreal, and I will forever remember it. I am so glad to be a part of the fan base; everyone is so awesome, and I love how NIN's music brings people together. Shout out to my dad for making this happen; love you, and to all the friends I've made because of NIN!"

“So this was my 18th NIN live show. My first was in 1992 at the Vanderbilt women’s basketball gymnasium during the downward spiral tour. My last before this Nashville show was actually on my birthday, May 1 of 2022. I’ve seen all these shows and I’ve never even flown because I feel like Trent has such good memories in Nashville and the south that he stops here every single time he comes through. I of course appreciate that. A friend flew in from Boston for the show, even though she had just seen them the week before in her town. So she knew a little bit more of what to expect than I did. I think I loved the peeled stage the best and a stand out song for me was vessel, which has never really been a favorite. A stand out moment was the remix of closer, so many times I’ve heard that song and I never look forward to it, but this mix really made me happy to hear it again so that was new for me. Hurt is always special, especially since Johnny Cash covered it and recorded it here in Nashville. I have been a fan since the first night I saw them. Previously, I had not been a fan, actually I was really not a fan at all and one of my best friends couldn’t understand it so he bought me a ticket to that show at the Vanderbilt gym and it opened up a whole world for me. I’ve never been a big fan of the first two albums, but from the downward spiral to the Tron soundtrack, I absolutely adore everything. I do have a fondness now for some of the very early albums, and I am a little sad that I am not hearing something I can never have on this second leg of the tour. I finally bought the hoodie! I think that’s probably the most special thing I got at the show. And to speak to the younger fans, it was extremely interesting to see a crowd of 20 some things screaming the lyrics back at him like I did when I was in my 20s. I’m glad that he is still touring and I hope that he does it as long as it’s relevant to his work. After every show, I think for about two hours that it could be my last show. Like if that was my last show, I would be OK with it. But then a few hours later, I want to do it all again. If he was coming closer to me on this tour, I would go."

"This was my first EVER NIN show and it was so beautiful. For years I never thought I’d get to see NIN live, let alone so close to the stage. I was alone and at first nervous about that, but once I saw Trent on at the piano and heard him start with right where it belongs, I couldn’t help but cry. The whole show was such an out of body experience in general. Between the lights, the setting, and the music, it almost felt like a religious experience. Every song live moved me in a way I can never replicate ever again anywhere else. Of course, when hurt played, I felt everything all over again especially when it seemed that it hit Trent a particular way too. When we hit the end of the show and saw the logo on the screen just sitting there I just stood for a while staring. I was wishing the show wouldn’t end and I just wanted to soak in everything I felt. That night really truly made me feel so alive."

"I first got into NIN in college during a pretty rough time trying to find myself, and the downward spiral really resonated with me. It was my first time ever seeing them, and I ended up seeing them three times all together this tour. I drove a total of 26 hours round trip to see them in Nashville, Charlotte, and Columbus. I was able to take 2 different friends to see them after the Nashville show, and knowing that I was able to get 2 other people in the building to experience the show was a pretty cool feeling. The shows were an unbelievable experience, from the fans to the performances themselves. I saw 3 different set lists at each show, and I can’t wait to see what they do next. I’m a lifelong fan now!"

"Nine Inch Nails always has been and forever will be my favorite band. They were so influential to my overall taste in music, and Trent continues to be someone who constantly innovates and challenges himself artistically. My first show was in 2005 in St. Louis for the With Teeth tour, and I've seen them live for a total of 10 times. I was lucky enough to have seen Peel It Back 3 times, and each time was incredible. Enough has been written about how insanely cool the B-Stage material is, but seeing it live just completely blew me away. We even flew to Detroit to St. Louis for the show on the 22nd of August, which was my birthday ... and Boys Noize's birthday too!"

"Peel it Back 2025 in Nashville, TN was my first Nine Inch Nails show. I was 44 at the time. I have been a huge fan since 1994, but due to numerous sad issues I was never able to make it to a show. I decided around the beginning of last year come hell or high water I was going to do whatever it took to see NIN live 'before I die'. Not even a month or two after I made my decision the Peel It Back 2025 tour was announced. The closest show to me was Nashville, TN- a several hour drive away. I was only able to afford nosebleeds but I didn’t even care. The show was everything I could have imagined- Reptile was the first NIN song I heard that really changed everything for me, ai had never heard music like that and it’s the song that pretty much cemented me as a fan, so to see it performed live with such incredible visuals was amazing. I cried and sung along with the crowd during Hurt and for the first time in my life felt like a true part of something. I left and felt like I had experienced years of therapy. It was incredible. As soon as the 2026 tour was announced, I bought a ticket again. I felt I deserved to see NIN again and I went to the Tulsa show. Two NIN shows in less than a year? Teenage me would have been blown away. I did it for her- I took a photo of myself as a teenager to both shows because they were for her just as much as they were for me."

"I’ve been a fan of NIN for almost all of my life, but the first chance I ever got to see them (coming from rural Arkansas) was in Nashville. I had just gotten cheated on a month prior after five years together and I decided to experience this alone. I camped out from 7 A.M. to showtime, made a bunch of new friends, and bought arguably too much merch. I’ll never forget the emotional catharsis I experienced that night, standing feet from Trent as he sang the songs that have soundtracked my life. That night helped show me things would not only be alright, but better than I could have ever imagined. A few months later my close friends joined me for round two in Dallas where we made great memories and sang loud, all thanks to TR, AR, and company. Thank you a million times over for everything."

"After seeing my favorite band for the first time in Calgary during the Tension tour, I made the trek with my wife and 3 other friends to Nashville for what I promised them all would be an amazing experience. It was our first time in Nashville and we all loved it and EVERYONE said the NIИ show was the best show they have ever seen. Good times and can't wait for our next chance to see them!"
