14-16 june Quebec CAN

That'll be tight. One festival will lose, I think. If Quebec wins, I assume NIN will use july/august 2018 to visit Europe.
Rockfest usually releases their biggest headliner of the festival at X-mas time as a "gift" to fans. Last year they let Rammstein out of the bag right before X-mas time. I wouldn't be surprised if they did it again this year, so we could very well know within the next 2 weeks, at the earliest, if they're going to follow the "x-mas surprise" format they've done the last couple of years that is.
Even if they do get announced at rockfest, I'm gonna skip it. I'd rather hold out for an actual NIN headlining tour/show instead of another festival for 2018. Seen NIN at too many festivals, not my cup of tea.

Considering that they are doing Mad Cool which on July 12-13-14, I could see them doing the Rockfest as a warm-up show for a string of festivals in Europe during July and August.
OR
Evenko snags them for Osheaga in Montreal mid-August.
Evenko and Rockfest's organizer are competitor.
IAMX will release tour Wednesday , maybe they are opening for NIN. Wishful thinking.
Just announced Aerodrome Festival in Prague June 28-29-30.
I don't see them doing Hellfest with current lineup already announced. I might be wrong though.
That Prague lineup is pretty bad.
I predict, next confirmation will be: Rock Werchter 5-8 july!
I really, really hope they will do the kick-off EU tour in a small venue in London -mid june-
I really really hope there's something in early June, since I'm going to see APC in Stockholm and would be better to make a single trip rather than several.
Question is ... will Fred Durst come and sing Closer with NIN in Prague!
This is the second announced festival date for 2018, but the live section for NIN.com hasn't been updated since October.
Surprised to see festivals popping up. I thought TR was done with festivals after the 2017 ones and wanted to branch out and do headlining NIN shows.
This worries me a bit that it's just going to be more festivals and that's it. What does everyone else think?
This is what he said a couple of months ago:
“Trent Reznor revealed how Nine Inch Nails will change their touring model in a new interview with Zane Lowe. Alternative Nation transcribed his comments.
“Our plan had been to do some touring next year and kind of pivot Nine Inch Nails from being a band that tours for a year and a half to two years at a time, that then disappears for several years, into one that might do a reasonable amount of shows a year, see how that works for the next bit of time. That plan was supposed to start next year, and some offers came in, and we all kind of looked at each other without deeply thinking it through and said, ‘Let’s play some shows this year.’
It’s just instincts. It seemed like it would be fun, it seemed like when I imagined myself on stage again with new material that we have to play as well, it seemed like something that felt uncomfortable and it felt exciting, so that was reason enough to do it.”
He also discussed writing “Less Than” and if it was influenced by knowing he would be returning to the stage soon.
“When I’m in record making mode, I’m really just out to serve that master, and pursue that vision and see what happens. It usually creates more of a burden when the record’s finished, and live time comes up, figuring out how to translate that into a live environment.”

Almost no band can be done with festivals nowadays. It's the safest way for alot of bands to make money.
There will be headline shows too: https://twitter.com/nineinchnails/st...073330689?s=08
FUCK YEAH. I hate the Zitadelle, but I'm incredibly happy that there will be headline shows. I'll be there!!
If they do a Birxton show i'll be happy, otherwise i'll take the O2.
