Nine Inch Nails Return to Stage in Dublin for 2025 Peel It Back Tour

Nine Inch Nails returned to live performance on June 15, 2025, launching their 'Peel It Back World Tour' with a sold-out show at the 3Arena in Dublin, Ireland, marking their first concert in nearly three years. The show featured a four-act structure with a 20-song setlist spanning their entire catalog, including rare live renditions of "Right Where It Belongs," "Ruiner," and "Piggy," not performed since 2009. The band alternated between a main stage and a B-stage located among the audience, enhancing the experience with elaborate visuals and lighting. Tour opener Boys Noize joined Nine Inch Nails for live collaborations on songs like "Vessel," "Came Back Haunted," and a cover of How to Destroy Angels' "Parasite." The setlist also included fan favorites and covers, such as David Bowie's "I'm Afraid of Americans." The tour will continue across Europe before moving to North America in August, with new music forthcoming from the band in the form of the soundtrack to TRON: Ares.
