On Sept. 19, Nine Inch Nails released “Tron: Ares” via Interscope Records. It debuted at #5 on the Billboard Top 200 Albums chart and #1 on another chart.
Nine Inch Nails has announced the second North America leg of their critically acclaimed “Peel It Back Tour.” Produced by Live Nation, the tour will make a Las Vegas stop at MGM Grand Garden Arena on Saturday, March 7, with friend and collaborator Boys Noize.
The sold-out “Peel It Back Tour” launched in June with a successful run across Europe and the U.K., featuring shows in Dublin, London, Paris, Madrid and more. The band then brought the production to North America with shows spanning across the country, including multiple nights each in Brooklyn, Chicago and L.A.
Tickets go on sale for the MGM Grand date on Wednesday, Oct. 8, at 12 p.m. PT at AXS.com. Since kicking off, the “Peel It Back Tour” has drawn more than 450,000 fans across two legs and earned widespread critical acclaim.
The Times, in an opening night review, said, “The show was a revelation – a thrilling onslaught that combined angst, sincerity and a nightmarish otherworldliness …”
Uproxxx hailed it as “a triumph of sound, obviously, but also sight. It could have been a movie, and Nine Inch Nails were the stars.” Consequence praised the “multi-sensory spectacle” as proof that “Nine Inch Nails have long been one of music’s most innovative bands.”
Additionally, The Dallas Observer described Nine Inch Nails’ each night as “a visual masterpiece,” and NME noted, “[The band] delivered a stacked setlist of huge hits and rarities.”
On Sept. 19, Nine Inch Nails released “Tron: Ares (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)” via Interscope Records. It debuted at #5 on the Billboard Top 200 Albums chart and #1 on the Soundtrack, Vinyl, Current Alternative and Current Electronic albums charts.
The album marks the first-ever film score by the pioneering group. As a work by Nine Inch Nails, “Tron: Ares” is a bracing departure from the acclaimed scores that bandmates Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross have composed under their own names, which have won two Oscars, three Golden Globes, a Grammy and an Emmy.
In 2008, Reznor and Ross launched a prolific career in composing music for film. Their first project, David Fincher’s “The Social Network,” earned the pair an Oscar and a Golden Globe. They’ve gone on to compose music for film and TV projects, including the Watchmen series for HBO, which earned the duo an Emmy.
Their score for Pixar’s 2020 film “Soul” won numerous awards, including an Oscar, Grammy, Golden Globe and British Academy Film Award. Recent projects have included Fincher’s “Mank” and “The Killer,” Sam Mendes’ “Empire of Light” and Luca Guadagnino’s “Bones and All,” “Challengers” and “Queer.”
