Igår gick Trent Reznor ut med nyheten att Nine Inch Nails skulle åka ut på turné. Nu bekräftas första europeiska festivalspelningen. De spelar på den nystartade tyska festivalen Rock ’n’ Heim som pågår mellan den 16 och den 18 augusti.
Utöver Nine Inch Nails är även bland annat System of a Down, Deftones och Biffy Clyro klara för festivalen.
Sidoprojektet How to Destroy Angels är mitt uppe i att släppa sitt debutalbum Welcome Oblivion, men nu meddelar Trent Reznor att Nine Inch Nails är på väg tillbaka. En turné väntar redan i år.
Så här lyder meddelandet:
”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”
