“This was my third time seeing NIN and each time gets better and better. I first started listening to them as a teenager and saw them live for the first time during the 2006 With Teeth Tour. It would be 8 years before I saw them again then another 12 until this tour. This show was such a thoughtful experience from start to finish. From Boys Noize taking us straight into the main show, to the way songs were stripped down of built up in new ways, it was all perfect. It even made me fall in love with Closer again though Copy of a was probably my favorite song that night. I went with my fiancé for valentines and loved hearing him belt out the last few songs. Every seat was full and the lights were so blinding at some points that I just felt I melted into the crowd and we sang as one. Best concert experience of my life (and I see a LOT of shows).”

“Nothing could’ve been more perfect than seeing NIN on valentine’s day, and it was truly the best show i’ve ever seen, i’m still in awe, the visuals were beautiful, the setlist was AMAZING, ive loved NIN since my freshman year but all i can think about is seeing NIN again because after this show i truly fell in LOVE with this band, im constantly amazed by everything trent does and his creativity and im so in love with it all. hearing reptile live changed me forever it was so beautiful.”

“I’ve never been to a concert before up until this tour, and I wish I could explain the feeling that overcame me knowing I was in the presence of Trent Reznor. It’s like everything else melted away and the only thing that existed was him and my heart which screamed every lyric through every bone in my body (as cliched as it sounds, crying to hurt was everything I needed) because I just couldn’t process that both the music and the man who made my life meaningful was being played for my ears in real time. It was unreal. The shirt I got is basically my second home at this point. Love you mr nails, thanks for everything 🖤🤘”

"This show was genuinely a lifelong dream as this was my first ever NIN concert despite being a fan for as long as I can remember. It’s so surreal to see the people directly responsible for me still being here right in front of me, and playing songs like Hurt, Heresy, and Piggy that have been the only support I’ve had at times. Their music has been one of if not the only constants in my life. To say the Valentine’s Day concert was perfect would be an understatement. I even got the only setlist that dropped from A Stage, and I’m looking to get that shit framed even though the bottom got ripped off lmfao"

"Having first seen Nine Inch Nails in 1994, I was 14 and completely cracked open by it. No filter. No self-consciousness. Just pure impact.

Years later, I saw them again when David Bowie co-headlined and I brought my mom, which still feels surreal to say out loud. Then a few more times after that. Different tours. Different eras of me. Different skins.

And now, Valentine’s Day 2026.

I don’t get excited for shows the way I used to. I don’t buzz in anticipation for weeks. I don’t spiral into setlist fantasies. I show up. I stand there. I wait.

And then that curtain dropped.

Full body chills.

This show felt like memory and presence collapsing into each other. Fourteen-year-old me. The version of me standing next to my mom. The in-between years. And now. All in the same room.

As you get older, the monotony can start to feel permanent. The errands. The business. The logistics. The repetition. It’s easy to believe that kind of intensity belongs to a past version of yourself.

And then you realize, I can still feel this way.

I don’t get a post-show high anymore. I get a lull. A tenderness. A quiet processing. But this tour, every deliberate detail of it, unclogged something in me creatively. It shook loose a stuck place I didn’t even realize had hardened.

I walked out not hyped, but awake.

Grateful doesn’t feel big enough. Lucky to have seen them at 14. Lucky to have seen them with my mom. Lucky to see them now and still be moved in a way that feels honest and physical.

For that, thank you."

"These were my 30, 31 and 32nd shows seeing this band. I went to both nights in Brooklyn NY and then in Newark Nj on Feb 14 because it was my birthday. I went by myself to Newark because none of my friends wanted to go to NJ. Best birthday present ever to myself."

"I'm a huge fan of NIN (i was in the top 100 listeners this year!) and I have been listening for two or three years. I had heard kinda I want to from pretty hate machine while scrolling in 2024/ 2023, got obsessed with the album and then obsessed with the whole discog. I was in a really dark place at the time, so the fragile, downward spiral, PHM, and broken really helped me vent some of that emotion. I honestly think that if I hadn't had the music I would be in a far worse place then I am now. When I first heard they were touring, i really wanted to go but wasn't able too until the second tour leg with it being my first show ever. I went with my dad (he's kind of a fan) and it was genuinely such an amazing concert and I loved the entire set list, especially Vessel, Reptile and Hurt. the opener was so good and the entire audience was so in the moment it was really cool seeing so many people fans of the same thing. It was an awesome first concert and i'm so happy that NIN has such a thriving fanbase."

"It took me 30 years to see NIN live. 30 years of listening to their music & being brought back in time & forward in time, brought to tears, brought to smiles, feeling sexy & beautiful, feeling ugly & wretched, sang loud, screamed louder, full of hate, full of love, and wishing for death & life simultaneously. Seeing them live that night brought every one of those emotions in me....I was somehow 13, 16, 22, 31, & 42 years old, all within a couple of hours that night. Seeing them on Valentine's Day, all by myself, soaking in every beat, every word, every light....it gave me back something I've lost along the way over the years. I could feel everything so vividly. It took me 30 years to see NIN live....and it was everything I had hoped for and so much more. 🖤 (I also never thought that I'd ever hear 'Reptile' live so omfg!!!!)"
