“having grown up listening to NIN via my mom, these shows were such intense and emotional moments for the both of us to be able to see them together (twice!) and i'm just glad i was able to gift her multiple experiences and to connect with so many others. second time around made me realize 'everyone's here for the same thing, and we're all (hopefully) enjoying it together in real time as a community'. thanks mom, and trent 🙂‍↕️🫶”

"I have been listening since pretty hate machine. I first chatted with my now husband because he had a NIN related screen name. 30 years later we are still together and finally saw NIN live together. The shows were masterpieces of visual and audio artistry. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience."

:Second show, first one of this tour. Flawless production. Favorite song was Copy of A!"

"When the curtain for the B-stage dropped so did my heart as the entire room zeroed in on that exact moment it felt like I was the only person standing in that room. in that moment -singularity. In a room full of 10000 other people- everything felt like it was Right Where It Belonged - stealing my breath and holding it through to the end of the opening sequence. There was the feeling like what was happening in front of us (and around us in the pit) was something so important and we’d likely never get to see or experience this exact thing ever again. By the end of the show I knew that something in me shifted. I was always a fan of the loud industrial grit of NIN - but this experience left me with something different than what I was expecting when I first went into it. I was the last one to clear out from the pit after the house lights came up; I couldnt stop gazing up the mile high curtain closing out the main stage. The show was over but I knew that what I just experienced wasn’t just a concert - it was a religious experience, and the closest I’v ever felt to god in my life still."

"This was my first time seeing Nine Inch Nails live after being a fan for nearly ten years. I was a teenager when I first listened to The Downward Spiral album. I would sit on the floor of my bedroom, listening to 'Hurt,' crying and battling self-harm. Standing there as an adult, six years clean, hearing 'Hurt' live was surreal. My younger self got to see a healed and whole version of me through the eyes of who I am now. We were there together, celebrating a life being lived, not just survived."

"During the show in Charlotte, I stepped aside from the rail area in the pit, knowing Trent was close to coming out at 9 PM. I had never done this before, but I felt pulled to do so. I walked over to the rail on the right side, facing the stage.

As he came out from behind the masking curtains with someone walking next to him, we acknowledged each other. In my thoughts at that moment, while we were locking eyes as he walked by, I realized I was finally standing face to face with someone I had felt closest to for a long time musically — someone I had connected with deeply, someone who helped get me through.

No words. Nothing needed.

I gave him a gentle, silent clap of my hands. Gratitude

I’ve enjoyed the thirty-two years."

"Right Where It Belongs is very special to me, I felt so lucky to hear it as an opener. Raleigh was my boyfriend's first NIN concert, we were in the third row to the right of the stage. We had a great view of B stage, so he took some videos for me cuz he knows my memory kinda sucks.

For Charlotte, we got floor tickets and felt even more connected to each other and the crowd. I don't think either one of us got vids or even pictures cuz we were so immersed in the music and energy. I hope he and I get to see NIN again someday."
