"I'm so grateful to have seen NIN live eight times this tour. It’s an experience I’ll carry with me forever.

My boyfriend introduced me to their music when we first started dating, and it truly changed my life. Their songs helped me through a long, difficult battle with myself and my creative block. This tour especially opened my eyes to a whole new world.

We traveled thousands of miles, waited in lines through sleepless nights, and met so many kind people along the way. Being in the pit, shooting photos amid the push and shove, capturing raw moments of catharsis and music history, reminded me why I love this so much. The 2025 tour inspired some of my best work yet.

I was deeply moved by fans gifting each other keepsakes, so I decided to give back in my own small way—offering limited signed and numbered mystery photo prints before each show I attended. Seeing the smiles and joy it brought meant everything to me.

I’m especially thankful to Kraw and nindiscordance for believing in me, trusting me to capture moments of the show in Vegas and Sacramento, and welcoming me into this community. That opportunity has pushed me to be a better artist and gave me so much hope.

I also want to thank my dear friend Star from @ninternet.inc. She supported me when no one else did, helped me organize a giveaway, and works so hard to create a safe, informed space for all of us.

This tour gave me hope, healed parts of me I didn’t know needed healing, and reminded me to keep creating. I’m so lucky to have shared it all with the love of my life.

Thank you, NIN and this incredible community, from the bottom of my heart. 🖤 @fotosbysavy"

"I’ve been listening to Nine Inch Nails for as long as I can remember, but I truly connected with the music after my brother passed when I was six. It was a very dark time when everything at home felt unstable, NIN became my escape and emotional outlet.

My first show was July 19, 2008 at The Forum with my dad, and I still remember how overwhelming it felt in the best way. Seeing the lights, the crowd, hearing everything live, it changed me. From that point on, NIN wasn’t just music, it was something me and my dad bonded over, especially songs that meant a lot to me like, “We’re In This Together” that we used to scream together.

After my dad passed on March 9, 2022, that connection only got deeper. Songs like “Somewhat Damaged” started to hit in a completely different way, it felt like everything I couldn’t say was already written for me. That’s why I go to these shows, because it’s something we would’ve kept doing together.

This tour was the first time I ever traveled out of state to follow the band, going from San Diego to Arizona, Vegas, LA, and Sacramento, bringing me to 13 shows total. What stood out the most was the people I met along the way. So many genuine fans who turned into real friends, from sharing our personal life experiences to enjoying shows together back to back made everything feel more meaningful and not alone.

Ending in Sacramento felt like a full-circle moment. We got invited to attend their last show of the tour, shoot photos for them, and i was finally able to experience “Burn” while moshing in the pit. All of which i’m incredibly grateful for that opportunity and for everyone I met along the way."

"This was my first NIN nails show despite being a fan since Pretty Hate Machine was released. It was truly one of the most incredible concerts I’ve ever seen and I have seen a lot in my lifetime. During the stressful times we are facing in the U.S. what a gift it was to be immersed into something so beautiful, if only for a night. Thank you NIN ⚡️⚡️⚡️"

"The first time I heard NIN, I was 15. Now I'm almost 48. It was an era in my life full of angst, of trying to figure out who I was, clashing against who my parents wanted me to be—a beautiful time really, but also very isolating. I bought every underground CD I could. Plastered posters, magazine articles all over my walls, and loved everything Trent recorded. Not just 'Closer,' which was the song everyone loved, but didn't really know anything else.

I went to the San Diego show, and after all of these years, I finally got to see them live; a bucket-list concert for sure.

I didn't take anything physical home, but the memory of this show will be with me forever."

"I didn’t go to this show just to hear music. I went because I needed somewhere to put everything I don’t say out loud.

Nine Inch Nails has always lived in the parts of me I keep hidden, the anger, the loneliness, the questions that don’t really have answers to. Hearing it live felt like those parts finally had a voice. Loud enough to drown everything else out.

There was a moment where the sound, the lights, the weight of it all just hit me at once and I stopped trying to hold myself together. Not in a dramatic way, just in a quiet surrender. Like I didn’t have to be strong for a little while.

Looking around, it didn’t feel like a crowd. It felt like a room full of people who understood something unspoken. Different lives, different stories, but somehow the same ache underneath it all. That kind of connection is rare and you can’t fake it.

I’ve listened to these songs in my lowest moments, alone in my car, late at night, trying to make sense of things. Hearing them live felt like closure in a way I didn’t expect. Not everything is fixed, but it doesn’t feel as heavy.

I walked in carrying more than I realized. I walked out lighter.

That’s what this show was for me.”

"These were my first shows since 2018. NIN has been my favorite band since 1999 and their shows are incredible! Every time I've seen NIN, their production gets better and better. My husband and live in San Diego so we travelled at least 2 hours away for all of the shows except one. For the 2025 shows, we were in seats but for the 2026 shows we made sure we were in the pit. Hanging out in line with other fans is special. They look out for each other, they bring snacks and sunscreen. They also honor the line order. I absolutely loved 2025's Came Back Haunted and 2026's Parasite. My favorite songs of the tour. I hope to see NIN soon! It's a cathartic experience that I think we all need."

“My favorite song from this tour was in between Reptile and the Perfect Drug. The setlis was awesome. There's always songs you want to hear live, you say 'I hope they play this song or that song' but the experience of listening and rocking to songs you wouldn't expect the band play its an amazing feeling. I travel with a high school friend. We reminisced old times all the way and was a lot of fun. Between remembering old times and the concert itself was a truly amazing experience."
