All right. I admit it. This is actually kinda freaking cool news for me.

Trent Reznor Announces the Return of Nine Inch Nails: Extensive Touring for 2013 and 2014
“The band is reinventing itself from scratch”

It’s been four years since Nine Inch Nails’ “Wave Goodbye” tour heralded the end of an era for Trent Reznor’s pioneering project. But since that time, Reznor has maintained that NIN wasn’t over forever, just changing focus.

Now, Reznor has announced that Nine Inch Nails will return to action in a big way in 2013. Tours are planned for this summer and fall, all the way into next year. The lineup will include Reznor, Eric Avery of Jane’s Addiction, Adrian Belew of King Crimson, and Josh Eustis of Telefon Tel Aviv, as well as previous NIN collaborators Alessandro Cortini and Ilan Rubin.

That is just one hell of a lineup Reznor has assembled there.
