Trent Reznor has wanted to bring Nine Ninch Nails back to the stage for a long time. After tons of cancelled festival dates and pandemic-addled false starts, NIN finally played their first show since 2018 last night. The band announced a brief tour back in February, and they started that tour last night at Raleigh’s Red Hat Amphitheater. (Boy Harsher opened the show; other dates will Yves Tumor or 100 Gecs as openers.) During the show, Reznor and his band played most of the NIN classics that you’d expect, and they also took time to salute one of Reznor’s heroes.
