"I have been fortunate enough to see NIN in 5 different countries and 11 U.S. states. I've logged a lot of miles seeing other bands as well, but none comes close to NIN--the only band I've slept on a sidewalk or spent all day in line for. They have been a part of my life since I was a young teenager, and I really hope they'll continue to tour. In 2026, I was the most overcome by the New Orleans show opening with 'Something I Can Never Have,' with the brief outro of 'Stripped' by Depeche Mode."

"Awesome. I've been to prior shows, this was my wife's first NiN show. We were blown away. I've been a fan since I caught the perfect drug music video late night on MTV. Then I found out who did the quake soundtrack and it steamrolled from there."

"These were my 2nd, 3rd and 4th shows. Chicago Night 1 and SLC '26 were pit, and Nashville was seats in the nosebleeds with a large group of friends. My first show was Cold and Black and Infinite 2018 Nashville, initially, my brother and I were supposed to see them at Louder Than Life in Louisville, KY that year, but the whole show flooded as a result of the river near the fairgrounds. There hasn't been a NIN show in my home state in a looooong ass time (thanks covid for canceling the 2020 shows, they actually were gonna be in indy for once....)

I have been listening to NIN since ~2011. My brother has been a longtime fan, so he got me into the music around high school.

My favorite song from the tour is a tossup between both trent and atticus' a minute to breathe and home; I absolutely adore both songs. NIN has gotten me through hard times in my adult life with self doubt and my emotional state."

"There was something special about this tour. After 32 shows since 1991 (10 on this tour), I know that every NIИ show is a gift. Still, maybe it was the intimacy and emotional impact on the opening sets, maybe the incredible visual effects, or maybe the fun of the mid-show dance party that made it feel different. It was certainly also the amazing friends we made along the way, the creativity the fans shared with one another, and sitting at a table in a Nashville BBQ joint next to Trent, Atticus, and Alex. This tour made me laugh, cry, dance, and scream cathartically as few other experiences ever have, and I am forever grateful for every part of it."

"I have loosely followed NIN since Hesitation Marks and was super excited to see they were going on the Peel It Back tour! My first time ever seeing them was in SLC for the first leg, and I was so blown away that I had to see them again in LA for the second night, this time in the pit. Absolutely mind-blowing experience, I was so happy to see them announce their second leg and so I went to Dallas to see them from the pit and then SLC on the floor. Robin handed me his pick! I will never forget that night and this tour, I've been to many concerts and this is the only tour I've ever repeatedly attended because it was THAT good."

"Oakland was my 1st and Sac was my 13th because I'm a late bloomer and avoided NIN for about 30 years.

From around the age of 8 I have faint memories of my mom playing TDS or going through one of my brother's CD wallets and seeing this chrome & single color spiral disc that made appalling noises yet I would sit about 18' from the TV enamored by the video for Closer. In my teens I got into some metal and a prog rock band that gave me a new perspective on life and reminded me of a heavier version of some bands my mom raised me on like Floyd. Aside from JLYI (thanks 300 trailer) and THTF, I never had any interest in NIN because I had enough going on inside. At 38 after a lot of loss I had been chasing bands and shows for about five years and my friends finally chiseled away enough, I said that the music was too dark and one of my friends responded with 'maybe you need to feel that sometimes'. After a streaming crash course of Tension, Cleveland Alumni, and LITS I was hooked and went down the rabbit hole to learn as much as I could about the art and history.

The lyrics put words to thoughts and feelings I've had but never knew how to properly verbalize or express in a healthy fashion. The guitar tone sounded like a buzzsaw shredding my entire being to the smallest particle imaginable. There was a theremin, banjo, and even xylophones. There were screens working in tandem to create layered digital & analog art in real time. There was someone crowdsurfing to a fucking instrumental. It was beautiful beyond words.

Two weeks before the Austin 26 show I decided I was going to chase the last nine of the tour. In my daily life I'm introverted and antisocial as can be but concerts and theme parks are my happy place, I shed my imaginary shackles of self consciousness and I push myself out of my comfort zone. Against every instinct, I let someone coax me into stopping by the GA line in Austin and within 30 seconds I felt like I had already known everyone there. Somewhere between Austin and Sacramento I had made a few friends that felt like family. I've been through a lot of circles in my life but NIN fans are the most welcoming, supportive, inclusive, and creative group I've ever come across.

Once I allowed myself to get past the dark exterior I found the light it had engulfed all along. TR is a sonic horticulturist pruning thorns to reveal the beauty hidden within. As a good friend of mine said to me, 'NIN helped me learn to feel'. There are no words that can accurately describe the gifts in my life thanks to this music."
