Nine Inch Nails is set to return to the stage with the announcement of its upcoming Peel It Back Tour. The Grammy-winning alternative rock band, led by Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross, revealed the global tour on Wednesday.

The Peel It Back Tour follows a successful run in 2022, where the band’s U.S. finale in Cleveland received critical acclaim.
