“Went to both of the Boston shows, with the same friend. We didn’t even question why there was a second Boston stop a few months apart; we immediately got tickets and went.”

“Nine Inch Nails has been part of my life for more than thirty years, and I have found pieces of myself inside The Downward Spiral and The Fragile. What I love most about NIN is that the music speaks with poetic honesty, rawness, and a painful kind of beauty. It does not avoid darkness but dives straight into it, and somehow that creates light. I have turned to this music in moments when I felt alone, and it made me feel seen and understood. Seeing them live again reminded me how deeply this connection still runs. Trent Reznor is as powerful and electric as ever, and the energy in the room was unforgettable.

My favorite song is 'Terrible Lie' — the lyrics cut so deep, and it is hauntingly told. As a photographer working with survivors of gender-based violence and human trafficking, I believe in storytelling that refuses to look away from pain. I have shared Trent’s lyrics with survivors because his words open conversations about resilience, survival, and truth. This music has shaped not only who I am, but how I see, create, and tell stories in the world. 🖤Thank you matildesimas.com”

"Been listening to NIN for over 30 years and been OBSESSED ever since. Went to my first show in 2000 in Montreal for the Fragility tour. Was lucky enough to catch Trent’s mic on the second night of a back to back they did at the Electric Factory in Philly on the With Teeth tour! This music is like the soundtrack to my life and has gotten me through insanely dark times including the death of a child. I took my almost 18 year old daughter to Boston to see them on 2/13/26. It was an unreal experience to take her to her first show of one of her favorite bands who is also my favorite. This was one of the most memorable experiences I have ever had. It made me remember who I was after decades of 'just' being a mother and social worker. Might sound over the top but it was truly a life-affirming, glorious experience. Hard to pic a fave song from the show, but I think I’m gonna have to go with Non-Entity."

"I had only gotten into NIИ maybe a year before seeing them live? It was my first solo concert, I was already 6 hours from home at college, and drove an extra two to Boston. This tour has been incredible for me, getting to hear copy of a AND reptile (my two faves) were unbelievable. I, as an artist, always struggled with a deeper meaning in my work but since being exposed to the band, specifically Trent, I’ve grown so much more comfortable in exploring myself. The way he expresses and explains things in songs and interviews is so admirable to me. I wish I could have been around for their 90s era but you get what you get. This is already quite long but I’ll end with this: If I ever meet Trent, I want him to know that he changed the trajectory of my life. How I look at the world, how I express myself, how I enjoy the life I have. Thank you NIИ."

"My first NIN show, my daughter's introduction to them. I'd shown her tidbits when the tickets went live because I was going no matter what, but I wanted to share the experience with her - she immediately said yes. The crowd was friendly, everyone was dancing. 'Ruiner' was my favorite song live - it's always been my favorite. I've been listening to NIN since I was around 13. Trent's music has gotten me through all the dark times of my life, and it taught me that sometimes it's okay not to feel. My first song was 'Head Like a Hole,' still in my rotation to this day. I definitely overspent on merch - about $500 worth of hoodies, hats, arm warmers, the tote, and I got the Heresy tee (my second favorite song). I wish I had more to spend, I would have likely grabbed one of everything, the designs were so cool! My daughter was gripping the edge of the seat in front of her, entranced the whole show. It's one of the only times I've seen here without her phone glued to her hand. It was magical."
