Nine Inch Nails return for 2013

Never one to be content with all of the awards for his soundtrack work with Atticus Ross, nor the hotly anticipated full-length début album and tour from his How To Destroy Angels project. Trent Reznor announced via pitchfork.com yesterday that his first love, Nine Inch Nails, is set to return.

If this wasn't enough, Reznor has already revealed the new touring line-up that will see action later in 2013 and on into next year. Currently the band includes Reznor, Eric Avery [Jane's Addiction], Adrian Belew [King Crimson], and Josh Eustis [Telefon Tel Aviv], as well as previous NIN collaborators Alessandro Cortini and Ilan Rubin.

Here's what Reznor had to say:

“Nine Inch Nails are touring this year.“I was working with Adrian Belew on some musical ideas, which led to some discussion on performing, which led to some beard-scratching, which (many steps later) led to the decision to re-think the idea of what Nine Inch Nails could be, and the idea of playing a show. Calls were made to some friends, lots of new ideas were discussed, and a show was booked - which led to another, which somehow led to a lot of shows.
“The band is reinventing itself from scratch and will be comprised of Eric Avery, Adrian Belew, Alessandro Cortini, Josh Eustis, Ilan Rubin, and me. The first shows will begin this summer, followed by a full-on arena tour of the US this fall, and lots of other dates worldwide to follow through 2014.
“Lots of details and dates to come. See you soon.”

Trent's other project How To Destroy Angels which sees him collaborating with his wife Mariqueen Maandig as well as Rob Sheridan and Atticus Ross will release their début, album 'Welcome Oblivion' on March 5^th via Colombia Records, and will be playing the following live dates:
