Trent Reznor’s having a Boyz II Men moment: It’s so hard to say goodbye.
After announcing onstage that his band’s Bonnaroo set would be their final U.S. appearance ever, the musclebound Nine Inch Nails kingpin is having a change of heart. In a final “wave goodbye” tour, NIN will play a series of intimate-for-them shows at clubs and mid-sized venues in New York, Los Angeles, and Chicago in late August and September, after they swing through Asia.
“They will be informal affairs … with longer set-lists, possible special guests, cool openers, and other surprises,” Reznor wrote on his band’s official site. “Upon reflection, the NIN/[Jane’s Addiction] tour felt like we had to rush through sets due to a limited allotted set length and many shows were in daylight — it just didn’t feel right to end NIN that way.”
The arena-filling rockers will play the Bowery Ballroom (capacity: 550), Webster Hall (1,400), and Terminal 5 (3,000) in New York; the Aragon Ballroom (4,500) in Chicago; and the Wiltern (2,300), the Henry Fonda (863), the Palladium (4,000), and the Echoplex (600) in L.A.
