"After the opening DJ set by Boys Noize, the curtain in the center of the arena dropped to reveal Trent Reznor behind the piano on the small B-Stage to perform Pretty Hate Machine's "Something I Can Never Have," which was making its tour debut. Then he pulled out "Non-Entity," which hadn't been played since 2009, as Atticus Ross, Brooks, and Robin Finck joined one by one, and then they played "Piggy (Nothing Can Stop Me Now).""
"From there, the show transitioned to the Main Stage for a set that included "Wish," "March of the Pigs," "Reptile," "Copy of A," and more, with the eye-popping live-manipulated visuals projected on multiple curtains on the stage. Then it was back to the B-Stage (the "Rave Stage") for the awesome collab set with Boys Noize that is now being called Nine Inch Noize and featured remixed club versions of "Vessel," "Closer," "Parasite," and Grammy-winning TRON:Ares song "As Alive as You Need Me to Be.""
Nine Inch Nails returned to the road for the Peel It Back Tour with Boys Noize, playing their first show since September at New Orleans' Smoothie King Yum Center. Stu Brooks made his debut as the band's bassist, replacing Alessandro Cortini. The B-Stage set opened with Trent Reznor performing "Something I Can Never Have" and revived the 2009-absent "Non-Entity" before continuing with "Piggy (Nothing Can Stop Me Now)." The Main Stage featured songs like "Wish," "March of the Pigs," and "Copy of A" with live-manipulated visuals across multiple curtains. A Nine Inch Noize collab with Boys Noize delivered remixed club versions of several tracks, and the concert closed with "Head Like a Hole" and "Hurt."
