Trent Reznor revealed to fans today that plans were in place for Nine Inch Nails to play another North American leg of the Cold and Black and Infinite tour in the fall with Jehnny Beth (of Savages) opening. The 24 date tour included a stop in Grand Rapids and multiple-night stands in Seattle, Vancouver, and Toronto among other cities. Sadly due to the pandemic NIN won't be touring in 2020, however Reznor has put the merch created for the tour on sale through the official NIN store and will be donating profits to food banks.
Meanwhile Reznor has other things in store for the rest of the year:
"The current plan is to finish up some scoring projects, work on my limited patience skills, deep dive into new NIN material, and hopefully be playing music live for you in 2021. In the meantime… listen to Jehnny’s record (comes out June 12), continue to listen to Bowie, and don’t be too hard on yourself."
Along with the announcement, Reznor shared an impressive fan-filmed show from Cold and Black and Infinite tour which is available to view below along with Reznor's full posting to fans.
"I was just reminded today marks the two year anniversary of when we made you show up in person for the Cold and Black and Infinite tour. Strange to think about with the world the way it is now. I look forward to the day we can once again safely be in the same space and share the experience of screaming at the top of our lungs at each other.
Speaking of which, I suppose I can let you know we HAD a tour booked this fall that continued and expanded Cold and Black and Infinite. Jehnny Beth was coming along with us. We were excited. I’m bumming myself out right now. The what-could-have-been dates are below and we had some merch for that tour in production that we’re putting in the store with all of NIN’s profits going to local food banks in the cities we were going to play.
