You shouldn't miss the Industrial gods. While there are many greats of the subgenre, none has stayed as consistently good or as important as Nine Inch Nails. But it isn't just the albums that are great; the live shows might be even better.
Concerts allow Trent Reznor, Atticus Ross, and whoever happens to be touring with the band to play with the sound of the songs a bit. You might think you know "Closer," for instance, but it takes on a new life live.
This is why if you are close to any city where Nine Inch Nails is performing, tickets, however expensive, will be worth it. You won't get a handful of people doing songs, but you will also get an unexpected and memorable experience.
Nine Inch Nails announce 2026 tour dates
NIN is currently touring partly in support of the soundtrack to Tron: Ares, which, instead of just a normal Reznor and Ross project, incorporated the whole concept of Nine Inch Nails. It is terrific. (And probably an Academy Award winner next year.)
