So when the inevitable tour happens, i will most likely be going to the Denver show.
Who else will be there?

This lines up well with NIN also doing Lollapalooza and Osheaga. I hope this is part of a headline tour though.
Lolla usually gets announced in March, right? I imagine they'll play there and possibly the Made in America festival as well.
Also The Black Queen should open on the actual tour.
I figured it out! The dots are the 2017 tour locations. 2 in NY, 2 cruises in the Atlantic Ocean, One boat ride in Lake Michigan...

This is actually the festival's second year on Randall's Island (and second overall).
Press reports from last year suggest it was pretty well-run, at least compared to Gov Ball. That said, there's still a significant festival discount to my current enthusiasm. I want to find some first-hand accounts from last year's VIP viewing areas to see if perhaps this approach might mitigate my concerns. Either way, I'll probably still open my wallet on Friday since I'm only a 4 mile bike ride from the site.
Already looking at Airbnb spots for Panorama. There's so many tours going on at around the same time this year, it's crazy.
Mm, I'd certainly like to think that the NIN fanbase is more open-minded than that, but I fear that you might be right.
In re: the backing vocals for Tension (which I personally loved), I suppose part of the outcry on that front was because it was sort of legitimately changing the live "sound" of the band, whereas just having a woman on guitar would still, you know, be playing guitar. Hopefully folks'd be accepting of that.
(Re: Annie Clark, I do think she'd be able to do some really wicked stuff playing guitar for NIN, though I can't imagine she'd be happy just being a member in someone else's band.)

Agreed. I'd hope the fanbase would be a bit more accepting and enthusiastic about the prospect more than I might fear...and as for that Yoko Ono reference in that review, I guessed I glazed over it as standard music review tripe, but you're totally right. That shit was ridiculous if meant to mean that Reznor has a wife of east Asian heritage. Maybe the reviewer was clueless and went for the easy musician-wife comparison.
since its a festival show...hopefully it will be streamed....
I will be crushed if Robin is not involved.
Just no Reading/Leeds festival please if you get to the UK (think it's a fairly safe bet he won't due to the Biffy Clyro debacle last time round!).
Not Glastonbury...!
Trent needs to start 'Rez-fest', so that he's surrounded by tasteful and agreeable acts.
Can the tour be called The Actual Events?
at least hes not playing hipster fest Coachella....
Panorama is put on by the same people.
dude, emma would be an AMAZING addition to NIN. the way she textures things would be a really cool way to do some stuff live. i've never really heard another guitar player quite like her. plus her voice is so similar to tori amos, so i'd finally get more of what i wanted out of trent & tori's voices together haha
I don't think gender should matter in choosing band members, ability should be the only thing that matters. At this point NIN has nothing to prove, we've all seen the shows, we've all seen the tours. I personally would think its refreshing if Trent brought in a female guitarist or drummer, but gender shouldn't matter "ability" is all that matters.
