It’s been a big year for Nine Inch Nails, with the recent release of the band’s soundtrack album for Tron: Ares and a world tour that looked like it wrapped up a few weeks ago in Los Angeles. Looks can be deceiving, though, and Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross decided to extend their “Peel It Back” tour into 2026 with a month-plus of dates that includes Feb. 23 at Milwaukee’s Fiserv Forum.
The duo had been on the road for three months over the summer, starting June 15 in Ireland and running all the way through their Sept. 18 show at the Kia Forum in L.A. This new leg will kick off Feb. 5 in New Orleans and once again finish in California on March 16, with the Milwaukee stop landing almost exactly in the middle of the 22-show schedule.
Tickets for Nine Inch Nails’ Feb. 23 concert at Fiserv Forum will go on sale to the general public starting at noon Wednesday, Oct. 8, online via Ticketmaster and at the Fiserv Forum box office.
Nine Inch Nails artist bio
Founded in 1988 by Trent Reznor, Nine Inch Nails is widely considered one of the most innovative, influential acts in modern music. Known for fusing industrial, electronic, rock and ambient sounds into emotionally raw and sonically aggressive compositions, the band has won two Grammy Awards and was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2020.
Nine Inch Nails’ multiplatinum studio albums include 1989 debut Pretty Hate Machine, The Downward Spiral (1994) and The Fragile (1999), which was its first album to reach No. 1 on the Billboard 200, a feat repeated by With Teeth (2005).
In 2008, Reznor and Atticus Ross launched a prolific career composing music for film. Their first project, David Fincher’s The Social Network, earned the pair an Oscar and a Golden Globe. They’ve gone on to compose music for a diverse array of film and television projects, including the Watchmen series for HBO, which earned the duo an Emmy for Outstanding Music Composition for a series.
Their score for the 2020 animated Pixar film “Soul” won numerous awards, including an Oscar, Grammy, Golden Globe and British Academy Film Award. Recent projects have included Sam Mendes’ Empire of Light, Fincher’s The Killer and a trio of projects with director Luca Guadagnino: Bones and All, Challengers and Queer.
On Sept. 19, Nine Inch Nails released Tron: Ares (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack), which debuted at No. 5 on the Billboard Top 200 albums chart and No. 1 on the Soundtrack, Vinyl, Current Alternative and Current Electronic albums charts. The project marks the first-ever film score by the pioneering group and doesn’t contain a single second of orchestra. Instead, the album gets the full force of Nine Inch Nails, with analog soul and digital dread that combines to hum with menace, melancholy and momentum.
