Nine Inch Nails reveal scrapped tour plans (five shows in Toronto!), put merch on sale for charity

Trent Reznor has kept busy during the pandemic, releasing a pair of Nine Inch Nails albums back in March, and he was set to be much busier this fall.

In a statement posted to the band’s Facebook account today, Reznor revealed that Nine Inch Nails had booked a new round of dates for their Cold and Black tour, which saw the band playing multi-night shows in halls and smaller venues around the U.S, but which has now been scrapped due to the COVI-19 pandemic.

The fall dates included a whopping five (!) Toronto shows at a TBA venue, three shows in Vancouver, and a number of further U.S. dates, with support from Jehnny Beth (of Savages). With the dates no longer happening, the band has put up the merch for the tour online, with proceeds going towards local food banks in each city the band were set to play. You can check out the merch line here.


Below is the full message the band posted to Facebook this afternoon. Hopefully, we’ll have a chance to see NIN out on the road when that is a safe option for everyone involved. In the meantime, check out a killer fan-shot live video of the Cold and Black tour below.

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. http://smarturl.it/NINOnlineStore

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 11), continue to listen to Bowie, and don’t be too hard on yourself.
