Fri-May-29 Chicago, IL [Charter One Pavilion] NINE INCH NAILS Only


I fucking love Charter One Pavillion! Damn, no JA Oh well, I still cant believe I missed NIN at Lolla 08...I NEED to attend this!

 

[Rewrite]

Wed-May-20 Irvine, CA [Verizon Wireless Amphitheater – Irvine Meadows]

Been there before! I'll think about it..!

 

[Buckethead]

Rumored dates were true.

 

[armubaba]

I've heard very little of NIN and literally nothing from Jane's Addiction, but from what people have told me Reznor is killer live and the light show is to die for. Is this supposed to be a final tour for NIN, or am I mistaken?

I might go to the Shoreline show. Maybe.

Most likely the final tour of NIN until Reznor gives NIN an indefinite break...

 

[FrenchMovieTheme]

i will go to verizon! when do these go on sale?

 

[gnarkill bill]

Perhaps since JA wont be playing with NIN in Chicago, that makes me believe that they could return in August and be on the bill for Lolla 09 a couple months later...just a guess. Perry does run the damn thing after all.


ANYWAYS, yeah...any info on when these tickets go on sale?

 

[ZeoVGM]

Severe lack of Massachusetts.

 

[wi@tt]

I don't want to drive the five hours from here to Atlanta, but just might have to.

 

[Bebpo]

Same

 

[Ollie Pooch]

just saw NIN on monday in their new '4 man' configuration and it was absolutely fucking brutal. from the intro right to the end of the 100 minute set there was an energy that was missing the last time i saw them, and it was awesome to see. killer setlist too

 

[stressboy]

Grrr nowhere near me.

 

[AlphaTwo00]

June 2nd, Here I Come!!

Oh and more dates to come... SOON!

Hi5 TORONTO!

 

[blanky]

What's up with all the North American (etc) tour dates No lights in the sky over europe, not even a final tour?

 

[Dead Man]

I just saw NIN in Australia in a festival, so I know they are not coming back here

 

[Buckethead]

I've heard very little of NIN

Oh get on that. They're great. Originally I wasn't the biggest fan but it's awesome, primal, visceral rock music at it's best.

The Slip ---> The Downward Spiral ---> Year Zero --->
Ghosts I-IV ---> The Fragile ---> Broken ---> Self-Titled ---> With Teeth

Personally I like "The Slip" and "Year Zero" the best. They're the most mainstream and accessible and TDS is pretty intense all the time which I find overwhelming. "The Fragile" is softer with more synth, piano, and electronic ambience.

TDS is considered by most to be NIN's definitive album though.

..literally nothing from Jane's Addiction

If you listen to one, listen to "Ritual De Lo Habitual". Awesome, awesome stuff.
If you listen to two, listen to RDLH and "Nothings Shocking".
Killer records, amazing chemistry, very ahead of their time.

Please don't listen to anything else. :lol

People have told me Reznor is killer live and the light show is to die for.

This is true, especially with Robin. However you missed out with as the new tour will not have the light show. It's since been retired.
It forced the band to stick to a rigid setlist and Trent felt that it became "like a play", so they've ditched it. Not to mention it was insanely expensive.

You also missed out as Josh Freese is no longer in NIN, but his replacement, Ilan Rubin of Lost Prophets fame is pretty darn good in his own right.

Go see 'em fella!

 

[Raistlin]

I'm hitting the Toronto and Darien Lake shows ... and maybe Detroit.

 

[Lazy vs Crazy]

Severe lack of Massachusetts.

Seriously.

Last tour they did three new england dates. They must be adding at least one.

Though I am not looking forward to sitting through Jane's Addiction.

[Lazy vs Crazy]

Tom Morello+Boots Riley are now opening as well

Ugh

 

[Fuzyfrog]

I just preordered the JA Cabinet of Curiosity's box set.

Trying to justify flying from nz to the usa just to see them

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

Tom Morello+Boots Riley are now opening as well

Ugh

Ugh as in you're happy or sad?

Cause I'm Freaking happy!!

Our tour this summer with Jane's Addiction just got that much cooler. I'm happy to announce the addition of

- the new project featuring Tom Morello (Rage Against the Machine / The Nightwatchman) and Boots Riley (The Coup). Have an exclusive first listen RIGHT HERE.

We are aiming to make this much more than just three acts sharing a bill...
Tour dates RIGHT HERE.

On sale info coming soon.

More than 3 acts? NICE!

Saul Williams is also rumored to perform.

 

[Liu Kang Baking A Pie]

How about a just Nine Inch Nails tour?

Cause JA/Tom Morello are fucking awesome!

Here's a song from Morello's STreet Sweeper:

Awesome

 

[Liu Kang Baking A Pie]

No thanks, I'm over the '90s.

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

^^ Why ofcourse. All the 00's artists are fucking awesome!! [/s]

Yeah that's what I said.

 

[BigJonsson]

I want NINJAS!

 

[deadbeef]

My sister got to go see the first Lollapalooza with NIN and Jane's Addiction, and all I got was a stupid T-Shirt. I've never forgiven her! *shakes fist*

 

[Femmeworth]

Awesome tour name.

 

[gnarkill bill]

I saw Tom and Boots perform some of their early material for "Street Sweeper" twice last year. I really dug it...some of the yet to be released songs sound very "Rage Like". If they're playing at a show that you plan on going to, I highly recommend showing up early for their set.

 

[hokahey]

How about a just Jane's Addiction tour?

Fixed.

 

[Numbers]

I got in on the presale for this tour

Post-Gazette Pavilion in Burgettstown, PA! Only like an hour and a half away from me!

Spoiler

$225 for 2 tickets, what a whore!

You got pit tix then huh? I just got some seats in the pavilion for the same show.

We can totally meet up and GAF orgy before the show!

I saw the LitS tour in Cleveland.. it was really cool, but I had seats way in the back. This will be the second concert I've ever seen! and the first in the pit. I hope it will be way more fun

 

[Raistlin]

Still can't believe they cancelled the Dairen Lake show.

fuckers

Hah, I saw the With Teeth tour in Cleveland and was in practically the last row of the Gund. It was kind of a let down; being so far away you lose a lot of the energy.

This is your 2nd concert ever? Not just 2nd NIN show? You're in for a treat in the pit. It's gonna be like an entirely different show.

 

[junker]

Are the presale tickets actually decent seats? I'm definitely going to the Irvine show. I saw them there during the With Teeth tour.

NIN gets 10% of the available seats for our own pre-sale. We won a tough (and I mean TOUGH) battle to get the best seats. We require you to sign up at our site (for free) to get tickets. We limit the amount you can buy, we print your name on the tickets and we have our own person let you in a separate entrance where we check your ID to match the ticket. We charge you a surcharge that has been less than TicketMaster's or Live Nation's in all cases so far to pay for the costs of doing this - it's not a profit center for us. We have essentially stopped scalping by doing these things - because we want true fans to be able to get great seats and not get ripped off by these parasites.

Short answer: Yes.

 

[Bebpo]

The tickets for Irvine are fucking expensive.

$99 tier 1
$76 tier 2

I've never paid that much for any concert in my life. But I've never seen NIN live and this might be the final tour for a long time Guess I'm going to be paying $$$$$$

 

[gkryhewy]

Sweet, got my presale tickets for Camden NJ! I found really good seats in the cheapest price level - second tier of sections (202), but dead center. $50 including fees.

 

[Bebpo]

Either the Irvine tickets sold out in 1 minute or it's not working :\

 

[hsin]

Unfortunately, none of these locations are convenient for me.

Everyone enjoy themselves twice as much for my sake!

 

[junker]

Yeah, this is bullshit. Same thing happened last time. Ridiculous.

 

[Bebpo]

Tried again and got 2 tickets for the $75 tier-2 seats. Unfortunately the section/row they gave me does not match up with the official website seating chart so I have no idea what kind of seats I just paid $175 for... ^^;

At least I'll be seeing them.

 

[hsin]

Err double post

I suppose I'll try again on the official onsale date but if I get a terrace seat, I may just forget it. I hate buying concert tickets.
