Nine Inch Nails have announced additional dates for their North American tour, including a stop at Charlotte’s newly renovated Spectrum Center on February 10, marking their return to the city for the first time in over a decade (2014 at PNC Music Pavilion).
The Grammy Award-winning industrial rock band, formed in 1988 in Cleveland and fronted by multi-instrumentalist and producer Trent Reznor along with his frequent collaborator, musician, composer, and producer Atticus Ross, is widely known for their high-energy, multi-sensory live shows.
Inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2020, they are considered one of the most influential acts in modern industrial and electronic rock. Their multi-Platinum studio albums include their 1989 debut Pretty Hate Machine, The Downward Spiral (1994), and The Fragile (1999), which was their first album to reach No. 1 on the Billboard 200 — a feat repeated by With Teeth (2005).
In 2008, Reznor and Ross launched a prolific career composing music for film, including David Fincher’s The Social Network, earning the duo an Oscar and a Golden Globe. Their work on the Watchmen series for HBO earned an Emmy for Outstanding Music Composition for a Series. Their 2020 score for the animated Pixar film Soul won numerous awards, including an Oscar, Grammy, Golden Globe, and British Academy Film Award.
On September 19, they released TRON: Ares (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) via Interscope Records, ahead of the science fiction action film Tron: Ares, which hits theaters nationwide on October 10. The soundtrack debuted at No. 5 on the Billboard 200 and marks the first-ever film score released under Nine Inch Nails, with Reznor and Ross collaborating as a group.
Their sold-out Peel It Back Tour first launched in June with a highly successful run across Europe and the UK, featuring shows in Dublin, London, Paris, and Madrid. The band then brought the tour to North America with shows spanning the country, including multiple nights in Brooklyn, Chicago, and Los Angeles.
All tickets (including Charlotte on February 10 at Spectrum Center) will be available starting Wednesday, October 8 at 12 p.m.
