Damn NIN in Bowery Ballroom, I am gonna go for that show, though will probably be impossible to get into. Also The Horrors might be opening, love their new album.

"Getting right to the point, we're going to play a handful of shows in NYC, Chicago and LA starting August 22nd. They will be informal affairs in medium to small venues with longer set-lists, possible special guests, cool openers and other surprises. Upon reflection, the NIN/JA tour felt like we had to rush through sets due to a limited allotted set length and many shows were in daylight - it just didn't feel right to end NIN that way. An offer to headline V-Fest in Toronto (being announced soon) set the idea in motion to play some FUN shows to end this up with. If we can get it together we'll film these shows, too.

In NYC we'll be playing Bowery Ballroom, Webster Hall and Terminal 5. In Chicago, the Aragon Ballroom. In LA we'll be at The Wiltern, The Henry Fonda, The Palladium and The Echoplex. These should be cool, unusual and unique shows and I hope you come out - this is it.

So far, The Horrors will be joining us for some shows in NYC, Mew will be with us at other shows in NYC, Chicago and LA, and perhaps more.
Details and ticket info will be announced shortly, so check back."

As always, a significant percentage of the best tickets for the shows will be reserved for exclusive pre-sale on NIN.com.

I'd rather see them in Webster Hall.

Dash

i really want to see them again but aug is a busy month of concetrs for me. Im going to Epicenter and then the outlands festival in aug. Hopefully there will be an LA show I can catch

Supermallet

LA at the Wiltern! Fuck yeah. I may very well have to see that.

Flashback

Of all places the Aragon?

macnorton

Hmm, small club might be cool....but I did get to see them last month so I am good.

bunkaroo

I agree - blah.

mndtrp

I would love to see this, but I'm not sure it's worth a drive from Denver. I saw them on their club tour a few years back, so that will probably be plenty. I'd love to have a 2.5 hour set from them, where they focus primarily on Broken through The Fragile.

Chaza

I'm going to try to go to Bowery or Webster, but I'm not too optimistic about getting tickets. Terminal 5 sucks, and I will never be going back there.

Poink

While I'm glad I have another chance to go since I missed out on the last Chicago show, the Aragon isn't my favorite place in the world... only went there once, but you know a place has pretty bad sound when you're seeing two of your favorite bands and it takes you a good 15 seconds to realize what song they're playing. :-/

TripWire

I can get over Terminal 5 for the right band.

it looks like they will be playing 4 dates in NY, 2 at 1 venue.
(which will probably be Terminal 5 for the size)

islandclaws

NIN @ Henry Fonda would be awesome. I rarely see bands that big at places that small.

Imail724

I will kill to see them at all 3 shows, but I will definitely be happy if I get tickets to one. I think since they will be playing longer sets and these will be their final shows, they should do something they've never done before and play full album sets. Maybe Broken-TDS one night, Fragile the next night and With Teeth or Year Zero the third? I think that might be cool.

starseed1981

Aragon...ugh. Nothing like a crowded room of 5000 and no air conditioning.

Dash

any clue when they go on sale?

TripWire

added dates and sale info.
man I am flyin back from panama the 22nd, but i can try and make the highland or terminal 5 shows at least.

TripWire

so did anyone actually get any of the NY Shows, I struck out..stupid captcha image codes were kicking my ass with the site bein so slow.
Looks like I will have to try my luck with the Terminal 5 shows when they go on sale.

islandclaws

I think my friend has an extra ticket for one of the LA shows, so looks like I'll be seeing them. I spaced on buying tix.

UncleGramps

I've seen NIN at both small venues and large ones, and I personally thought the shows at larger venues were much better. I tried to get tickets to the Bowery and Webster Hall shows and wasn't successful. I've heard enough bad things about Terminal 5 to give up on seeing them one last time. Fortunately I got to see them last year on the Slip tour and it was the best NIN show I've seen.

Dash

I thought presale was on fri and the 31st was going to be when they went on sale, guess I missed out.

Chaza

I tried for Webster and Bowery, but got stuck in some line, and never got a chance. I hate Terminal 5, so all I can hope is there are some good quality video/audio taken at these gigs.

Mr. Self Destruct

For the show at the Terminal 5, does anyone know if non-presale tickets are only going to be available at NIN.com? I didn't have a chance on the NIN.com website, it just dragged and dragged and then it wouldn't even load.

So I went to the Palladium show last night. Trent said he was sick, so I think they cut it a little short. Still, they played a solid 2 hours and pulled out lots of great hits. Gary Numan came out and did two songs, one of which was "Cars". All in all, it was amazing for my first time at a NIN show.

Edit: found the setlist. I guess they did play all of Downward Spiral. Also, looks like tonight's show has been postponed due to Trent's illness.

02. Piggy
03. Heresy
04. March Of The Pigs
05. Closer
06. Ruiner
