Nine Inch Nails [ tickets ]--whose recently completed North American co-headlining tour with Jane's Addiction was billed as NIN's last-ever roadtrip--have announced plans to cap the run with a few more US shows.

"Getting right to the point, we're going to play a handful of shows in NYC, Chicago and LA starting August 22nd," NIN founder Trent Reznor said in a message posted today (7/7) at the band's website. "They will be informal affairs in medium to small venues with longer set-lists, possible special guests, cool openers and other surprises."

Reznor added that he felt his group's summer tour with Jane's Addiction wasn't the note he wanted to bow out on, and also said that the additional shows may yield a concert video from the band, which last year had to scrap plans for a film shot during the its Lights in the Sky tour.

"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," he said. "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."

According to Reznor, the new shows will take place in New York City at the Bowery Ballroom, Webster Hall and Terminal 5; in Chicago at the Aragon Ballroom ; and in LA 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," Reznor wrote. "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 posted at NIN's website when available.
