Now in the home stretch of their 2006 winter tour, Nine Inch Nails have dished the details on their next round of US shows.
After wrapping up their current stint with an April 1 show in Las Vegas, the group will catch its breath for about two months, and return to the stage in late May. A performance at the May 26 Sasquatch Festival in George, WA, will get things started, and subsequent headlining shows are stacked up through early July.
Ticket on-sale dates are set for most of the newly announced shows, with tickets due to begin hitting box offices later this month. Details are included in the itinerary below.
Special guests Bauhaus are scheduled to appear on all dates, and TV on Radio is slated to open shows from May 27 through June 14. An opening act for the tour's second half hasn't been announced.
The summer routing includes a previously announced June 21 stop in Portland, ME, which is a make-up date for NIN's planned Feb. 28 concert in that city. That show--along with dates in Amherst, MA, and Ottawa, Ontario--were waylaid when NIN frontman Trent Reznor fell ill. The band already made good on the Amherst show last week, but the Ottawa date has since been canceled outright, according to NIN's website. Ticket refunds are available at the point of purchase.
NIN has been on the road since last spring in support of its May 2005 release, "With Teeth," which features the group's latest hit, "Every Day Is Exactly the Same." The song has been riding the top of Billboard's Modern Rock chart for the past few weeks.
On April 4, NIN will issue an "Every Day Is Exactly the Same" EP that will include remixes by Interpol, DFA, Photek, EL-P and Richard X. The cover art and complete track listing are posted at NIN's website.
"With Teeth"--NIN's first new studio set since 1999's "The Fragile"--debuted at No. 1 on The Billboard 200 chart.
