Nine Inch Nails Rehearse For New ‘09 Tour
Trent Reznor has been updating the official Nine Inch Nails website NIN.com for the past few days with new photos of various members of the current incarnation of NIN (including Robin Finck, Justin Meldal-Johnsen and new drummer Ilan Rubin) doing a bit of rehearsing in the studio for their new upcoming tour. As you may recall, TR informed us that the band would be touring this year as a pared down 4-piece and would be playing festivals and outdoor theaters in Europe, the Pacific Rim and North America thruout 2009 … by the looks of these new photos, Trent and boys have been hard at work on their new ‘09 project(s?):
I am THRILLED that we have more Live NIN to look forward to this coming year. I’ve been anxiously awaiting the release of US tourdates … which might come as soon as the band packs up and begins playing shows overseas. Woot!
In other NIN news, the kids at ThisOnesOnUs.org have been hard at work putting together a live tour DVD for NIN’s last major outing Lights In The Sky Over North America and are currently having fans vote for the artwork for the fanmade DVD, which has been titled Another Version of the Truth. I understand the final product will be completed and ready for dissemination to fans very soon. There is no word of any new NIN material to be released this year … but the new NIN.com photos do show Trent and his cohorts working on — something. It could be plans for the new tour or it could be something else entirely … I guess time will tell. I, for one, am just glad that NIN is still active right now … I’m really not looking forward to the band taking a break from touring and/or music for any stretch of time to come.
UPDATE: Pink reader Angie gives me the head’s up that Trent Reznor is on Twitter, click HERE for his profile :) Now we can follow him together :)

Trent, do you have any idea whether they’ll be touring arenas again or is it strictly the outdoor festivals? Thanks!

I saw NIN last october in Monterrey Mexico, a-m-a-z-i-n-g show, and it was indeed in an arena…. but in mexico city was in a festival, let´s hope it´s in an arena again….the show is very different.

@Shannon — I understand NIN will be playing outdoor amphitheaters when they come back to the US, the new tour will be nothing like their last tour. unlike the big visuals show we got last year, this new tour is supposedly less showy and will offer more diversity with setlists :)

Keeping my fingers crossed they will pay at Red Rocks again this year – the most beautiful venue on eath! ;)
