Nine Inch Nails have shared details of their 2025 Peel It Back world tour.

The pairing of Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross will play the UK and Europe in June and July, then trek across North America in August and September. All tickets go on sale at 12pm local time next Wednesday, January 29.

The announcement confirms the leaked US dates that have been doing the rounds on social media since December. The industrial pioneers wrote last week that they’d seen some of their shows’ details make their way online ahead of schedule, but added that they were holding off on confirming them due to the wildfires in Los Angeles.

“Since some dates and information about our world tour have leaked, we are confirming that yes we will be touring and will provide more details soon,” the duo wrote.

“We are all watching the devastation that is unfolding in California and have paused our announcement while people try to deal with all that is happening.”

Nine Inch Nails haven’t performed live since 2022, and since then the tandem have continued to focus on scoring film and TV projects. Reznor and Ross recently took home a Golden Globe for their work on the 2024 Luca Guadagnino film Challengers.

During an interview with GQ last year, Nine Inch Nails founder Reznor said that he stepped away from performing live after the band’s 2022 tour as he wasn’t sure what purpose their concerts had anymore.

“For the first time in a long time I wasn’t sure: What’s the tour going to say?” he explained. “What do I have to say right now? We can still play those songs real good. Maybe we can come up with a new production. But it wasn’t screaming at me: This is what to do right now.”

A new Nine Inch Nails album is expected to arrive this year, and it may well be called Peel It Back based on the name of their new tour. Reznor and Ross will also score the 2025 sci-fi film Tron: Ares under the Nine Inch Nails banner, marking the first time they’ve used the band’s name for a soundtrack project.
