“This was my first time seeing NIN in my hometown, I was lucky enough to be front row and the second the curtain dropped it was so surreal, one of the best nights of my life. I’ve been listening to them since I was born because my mom is a huge fan and would always play me their songs. The first song I heard was Terrible Lie. I fell in love with them so long ago I couldn’t even say when it was. I’ve always felt a comfort from their music and it feels like home to me and that I belong. I was able to get the perfect drug lyric tee at my show.”\

“I first discovered Trent Reznor and Nine Inch Nails about 25 years ago. The first video I ever saw of them was their iconic 'Closer' video. It was instant adoration the moment I heard their sound and saw how Trent presented himself. Their lyrics always meant so much to me and Trent Reznor’s voice mirrored my own inner voice. The more I listened the more I discovered that their music made me feel things I had never felt before. Over the years it also helped me cope with all sorts of things life threw at me. I had known for so long that I wanted to see them live. In the past every time I had tried to go something would go wrong and I couldn’t make it. When I finally got to see them in September of 2025 I felt like I was somehow finally whole. It’s a night that I will never forget. I smiled, I laughed and I cried. I was surrounded by all walks of life and there we all were together, lost in the music. Everyone has different reasons why they love Nine Inch Nails but I’m sure we can all agree that their music has helped us though the best of times and the worst of times. Thank you so much NIN for existing.”

"I grew up with a dad who loved Nine Inch Nails and Trent Reznor, for our birthday in August (as I was born on his birthday) he bought tickets for us to see NIN in September. I got into their music more as I waited for the date of the show and immediately I fell in love. In August I had a lot happen, I was not mentally well and had turned to horrible coping mechanisms that did more harm than good. That night, in that arena, I decided I would never hurt myself again. By the end of the show I was sobbing and clinging to my dad as we listened to thousands of people sing along with Trent Reznor to the song Hurt. After the show, in my dad’s car as 'La Mer' played from his playlist, I promised myself I would never pick up a blade again. And I can thank Nine Inch Nails for that realization of what I was doing to myself. If it wasn’t for that night in that arena, I don’t think I’d be here."

"I've been a fan since 1995. This was my second NIN show ever. My first was the NINJA tour as a birthday gift from my husband. This time was a treat for myself. It was amazing getting to see my favorite songs live. The energy that Trent, Atticus and Boys Noize helped bring was electrifying!"

"I first encountered Nine Inch Nails in 1993, though the seed had been planted earlier. A fleeting snippet of 'Head Like a Hole' surfaced during the movie Prayer of the Rollerboys, a moment that lingered, even if I didn’t yet connect it to its source. That connection came later, when I saw the music video for Head Like a Hole on MTV. The impact was immediate and undeniable; something in it resonated with a depth I hadn’t quite experienced before. Not long after, I found a cassette copy of Pretty Hate Machine at a local store. That discovery felt less like a purchase and more like the beginning of a long-term relationship with a body of work that would come to define entire chapters of my life. When The Downward Spiral was released, it didn’t just deepen my appreciation it cemented it. From that point forward, I sought out everything connected to Trent Reznor and even the broader creative sphere of Nothing Records. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of seeing Nine Inch Nails perform live fifteen times l each experience reinforcing the profound connection I feel to the music. What might sound like cliché is, in truth, deeply personal: this body of work has accompanied me through the most difficult periods of my life—divorce, loss, and grief—as well as moments of genuine happiness and growth. It has been both refuge and catalyst, shaping not only how I process the world but also how I create within it. This music has become more than something I listen to; it is a constant presence an emotional and creative touchstone woven into the fabric of my life. I carry a lasting sense of gratitude for having lived in a time where I could experience this art as it unfolded, and I find it difficult to imagine my life without the soundtrack that Nine Inch Nails has providedone that continues to echo close to my heart and soul."
