Music lovers, get ready, because Nine Inch Nails is making a thunderous comeback with their Peel It Back World Tour 2025. After a three-year break, the legendary band is finally hitting the road again, bringing their electrifying energy, groundbreaking music, and unforgettable performances to stages across Europe and North America. This tour is already shaping up to be one of the biggest musical events of the year, and fans everywhere are buzzing with excitement.
The announcement comes after a brief delay caused by the tragic wildfires in Los Angeles, which have taken lives and left thousands of families without homes. The devastation understandably led the band to postpone their big reveal out of respect for those affected. However, the wait is finally over, and Nine Inch Nails is ready to take center stage once again.
A World Tour Like No Other
The Peel It Back World Tour 2025 is set to kick off on June 15 at the 3Arena in Dublin, Ireland. This marks the beginning of a thrilling journey that will take the band across Europe before they return to the United States in August. The tour’s title, inspired by a line from their 1994 hit song “March of the Pigs,” hints at a raw, powerful experience that fans won’t want to miss.
Europe will get the first taste of the tour, with stops in iconic cities like London, Berlin, Milan, and Paris. Nine Inch Nails will also make appearances at major European music festivals, including Graspop Metal Meeting in Belgium, Open’er in Poland, and Mad Cool in Spain. After wrapping up the European leg in mid-July, the band will head to North America, starting with a performance at the Oakland Arena in Oakland, California, on August 3.
The U.S. and Canadian shows promise an equally exciting lineup, with stops in cities like Seattle, Chicago, Toronto, Philadelphia, Boston, Brooklyn, and Los Angeles. The tour will conclude in grand fashion on September 18 at the Kia Forum in Los Angeles. It’s clear that Nine Inch Nails has designed this tour to be a truly global celebration of their music.
A Long-Awaited Comeback
This will be Nine Inch Nails’ first tour since 2022, and the anticipation has been building ever since. Trent Reznor, the band’s iconic frontman, and Atticus Ross, his creative partner, have been hard at work planning a tour that will not only meet but exceed fans’ expectations. Known for their intense live performances, Nine Inch Nails has always delivered concerts that feel more like visceral experiences than mere shows. The Peel It Back World Tour is expected to carry on this tradition, offering fans a chance to immerse themselves in the band’s hauntingly beautiful world.
Earlier this month, rumors of the tour began circulating, sparking excitement among fans. But the band chose to hold off on making any official announcements due to the heartbreaking wildfires in California. In a heartfelt statement, they expressed their concerns for those affected by the tragedy, saying, “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.”
Now that the time has come, fans couldn’t be more thrilled. Social media is already abuzz with discussions about setlists, ticket availability, and travel plans. For many, this tour represents not just a chance to see their favorite band live, but also an opportunity to reconnect with the music that has shaped their lives.
A Journey Through Time and Sound
One of the most exciting aspects of any Nine Inch Nails tour is the setlist. Over the years, the band has amassed an incredible catalog of songs, ranging from industrial rock anthems to haunting ballads. While the official setlist for the Peel It Back Tour hasn’t been revealed yet, fans are speculating about which tracks will make the cut.
Will they play fan favorites like “Closer,” “Head Like a Hole,” and “The Hand That Feeds”? Will there be surprises, like deep cuts from their earlier albums or reimagined versions of classic tracks? And, of course, everyone is wondering if they’ll debut any new material. Whatever the case, one thing is certain: the setlist will be carefully curated to take fans on a journey through the band’s evolution.
