Anyone who saw the bill for Coachella already had a good idea that Nine Inch Nails weren’t done with their triumphant Peel It Back tour just yet. Now it has been confirmed, with Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross heading back out for a new North American leg throughout February and March.

The industrial-rock icons, who launched the tour with a series of UK and European dates throughout the summer and wrapped up dates with two shows at LA’s Kia Forum a couple of weeks ago, will kick off the fresh batch of dates on 5^th February in New Orleans. The city has good NiN stock - Reznor lived in the city for a decade, setting up a studio and recording NiN’s sprawling third album The Fragile there.

The new tour will take them to within weeks of their Coachella performance, but that won’t be a regular NiN gig. Instead, the band are billed as Nine Inch Noize and will be performing a special full-length version of the remix set alongside Boys Noize that has featured as part of Peel It Back shows. They will have plenty of time to practice on the road in the run-up to the festival as, once again, Boys Noize will be supporting.

Nine Inch Nails recently released their first new-ish record in years, with the duo’s soundtrack for Tron: Ares being released under the NiN banner. Read our track-by-track of the record here.

Ahead of the new US tour, Reznor and Ross will perform at Future Ruins, a new festival created and curated by the pair. Designed to celebrate composers from both the worlds of and film and sound, it will see the duo perform their score work live for the first time, with the event taking place at the Los Angeles Equestrian Center on November 8.
