Nine Inch Nails is reinventing itself from scratch and will tour in 2013 and 2014

Nine Inch Nails, Trent Reznor's legendary band, had been put on hiatus 4 years ago. Reznor had been busy with other projects, among other his award winning movie soundtracks and his band How To Destroy Angels with his wife Mariqueen Maandig. Today: big surprise! Reznor made an announcement. Read it below:

"Nine Inch Nails are touring this year. I was working with Adrian Belew on some musical ideas, which led to some discussion on performing, which led to some beard-scratching, which (many steps later) led to the decision to re-think the idea of what Nine Inch Nails could be, and the idea of playing a show. Calls were made to some friends, lots of new ideas were discussed, and a show was booked - which led to another, which somehow led to a lot of shows.
The band is reinventing itself from scratch and will be comprised of Eric Avery, Adrian Belew, Alessandro Cortini, Josh Eustis, Ilan Rubin, and me. The first shows will begin this summer, followed by a full-on arena tour of the US this fall, and lots of other dates worldwide to follow through 2014.
Lots of details and dates to come. See you soon.
TR"
