Trent Reznor Clarifies Nine Inch Nails’ Touring Future and Teases New Music

"I never said we were intentionally stopping, and I never meant that," the frontman said, though he acknowledged the band has no immediate plans on the books

As Nine Inch Nails closed out their Peel It Back TourTrent Reznor took a moment to clarify (kinda) some recent comments he made about the band’s future touring plans.

At a show in Tulsa last month, Reznor thanked the crowd for coming to the gig and acknowledged, “I don’t know if we’re going to be touring anymore after this, but I’m proud of the show we’re doing right now.” The remark garnered enough attention that Reznor felt compelled to address the matter at the final Peel It Back show in Sacramento Monday night (March 16).

Reznor said he felt his comments “got misconstrued into something that is not intentionally necessarily true,” and offered a more succinct — though still open-ended — assessment of the band’s live future: “This is the last show on this tour and we don’t have any shows booked, and we don’t have any plans to book any shows any time in the future, so far. That doesn’t mean we may not tour again. We may tour again. It won’t be next month, it won’t be this year. I never said we were intentionally stopping, and I never meant that.” 

The Peel It Back Tour, which kicked off last year, marked NIN’s first tour since 2022. While onstage, Reznor said that gap in touring was because he “didn’t know if we could do it well, and if it still mattered, and if we felt we had something to say.” But, the frontman continued, “the combination of this band, and this crew, and a lot of hard work, we put on a show that I’m really fucking proud of.”

So while the possibility of another tour remains up in the air, Reznor was more than clear about what was next for Nine Inch Nails: “What we’re going to do is work on some new music, and make some new shit. And if we feel inspired, and if we feel we can beat this [tour] we’ll see you again. And I hope to see you again.” 

The last albums of all original NIN material, Ghosts V: Together and Ghosts VI: Locusts, both dropped in 2020, while last year the band shared its soundtrack for Tron: Ares
