It’s been eight years since their last performance in NZ at Big Day out 2000 and now it is with great pleasure that The Frontier Touring Company announce the return of Nine Inch Nails (NIN) for one show only in Auckland at Vector Arena on Tuesday 17 February 2009.

Nine Inch Nails (NIN) is the “most popular industrial act ever” formed by founder and frontman Trent Reznor in 1989 in Cleveland, Ohio. First release, Pretty Hate Machine found an audience with rockers as well as mainstream listeners and from there spawned a 20 year career which has seen Trent Reznor receive 10 Grammy Award nominations and 2 Grammy Award wins as well as being named one of Rolling Stone’s Top 100 Greatest Rock Acts of all time.

Reznor exists as the only official member of NIN. He gathers groups of skilled artists to play with him on each of his live tours yet remains as the sole musician, singer and producer on all of his recordings.

NIN and Trent Reznor have released a total of 12 albums since their conception in 1989 (four of which were remix albums). With his most recent releases in 2008, Ghost I-IV and The Slip digitally released under Creative Commons licenses, The Slip was made available as a free download on NIN website www.nin.com

Currently on tour in North America, NIN are said to play homage to huge set list spanning songs from their entire career and playing for over 2 hours. This is a must see show for fans new and old.
