Nine Inch Nails confirm 2025 tour, but delay official announcement due to Los Angeles fires

Nine Inch Nails will tour in 2025, but they have delayed the official announcement due to the wildfires in Los Angeles.

The ‘Closer’ rockers – made up of Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross along with other touring musicians – have responded after leaked tour announcements surfaced online recently and a live run is on the cards.

They said in an Instagram statement: “Since some dates and information about our world tour have been leaked, we confirm that yes, we will be touring and will provide more details soon.

“We’re all seeing the devastation unfolding in California and have paused our announcement while people try to deal with everything that’s happening.”

The series of shows will mark their first tour since 2022, while frontman Trent confirmed last month that they are working on new material as a group, having instead worked on soundtracks for the likes of ‘The Social Network’, ‘Soul’ and ‘Challengers’ over the years.

Speaking to The Hollywood Reporter, Trent said: “We’re taking the inspiration we’ve had and bringing it into a Nine Inch Nails project that we’re working on now.

“We’re ready to be back in the driver’s seat.”

He recalled working on ‘The Social Network’ with Atticus when they realized they “could still apply” what they knew about songwriting to another medium.

He added: “The script and the director’s vision and the scene and the setting are the lyrics and we could take our arrangement skills and the same things that we tap into emotionally in Nine Inch Nails to a different setting.

“But it took us a minute to figure it out, a few months of waking up at 4 in the morning sweating about, ‘What did we get ourselves into?’ “
