Trent Reznor Reveals Nine Inch Nails and Jane's Addiction Tour Dates

Trent Reznor has finally officially revealed the first dates for Nine Inch Nails' joint tour with the reunited Jane's Addiction on NIN.com this morning. As it stands now, the tour will kick off May 8th in West Palm Beach, Florida. "Here's what we can tell you so far," Rez writes (emphasis ours), so if your town isn't here on the initial schedule (sorry, Milwaukee, Boston), there's still hope. For some reason, Reznor's itinerary leaves out both bands' performances at the Sasquatch! Festival at the Gorge in Washington on May 24th, but that's probably just an oversight.

You'll notice that on May 29th, only Nine Inch Nails will take the stage in Chicago's Charter One Pavilion. Maybe it has something to do with a certain clause that appears in a certain contract, like the one that prevents a band (Jane's Addiction) from performing in a market (Chicago) for a certain amount of months before and after a festival (Perry Farrell's Lollapalooza). But who knows? Check out the dates below:

Song Stories

“Tonight's the Night”

The Shirelles | 1960

The lead cut and title track from this girl group's debut album, "Tonight's the Night" was written by 19-year-old bandmember Shirley Owens, who sings lead, and producer Luther Dixon. The band from Passaic, New Jersey met in high school, first calling themselves the Pequellos. The song's frank thoughts about sexual and emotional surrender was racy for the time, but that didn't stop the Chiffons from cutting a similar version immediately after the original came out. "We were the first female group to write some of our own material," band member Beverly Lee recalls. "We did have some say-so in our writing."
