Today Trent Reznor shared some exciting news about Nine Inch Nails - NIN will be hitting the road for live dates later this year. According to Reznor's statement, NIN are playing some initial dates this summer, which will be followed by an arena tour of the U.S. in the fall. Reznor also confirmed his new touring lineup, which includes Adrian Belew, Eric Avery*, Alessandro Cortini, Josh Eustis, and Ilan Rubin. Details and dates are expected to be announced shortly. Read the full statement below (via Pitchfork).
"I was working with Adrian Belew on some musical ideas, which led to some discussion on performing, which led to some beard-scratching, which (many steps later) led to the decision to re-think the idea of what Nine Inch Nails could be, and the idea of playing a show. Calls were made to some friends, lots of new ideas were discussed, and a show was booked - which led to another, which somehow led to a lot of shows.
"The band is reinventing itself from scratch and will be comprised of Eric Avery, Adrian Belew, Alessandro Cortini, Josh Eustis, Ilan Rubin, and me. The first shows will begin this summer followed by a full on arena tour of the US this fall and lots of other dates worldwide to follow through 2014.
Lots of details and dates to come. See you soon."
*Over the last couple of weeks Eric Avery has been debuting songs from his new solo album on bandcamp. The tracks are available as free downloads and are somewhat dark/NINish. Check 'em out here.
