Nine Inch Nails delivered a multi-sensory arena show on the Peel It Back tour at Barclays Center, thrilling a sold-out Brooklyn crowd. Long merch lines and an unconventional three-stage configuration — main stage, center B-stage, and DJ stage — framed the evening. Boys Noize opened with an electro-house, industrial DJ set of roughly an hour that set the mood but sometimes felt redundant in a large arena. Trent Reznor began solo on the B-stage with "Right Where It Belongs" before bandmates Alessandro Cortini, Atticus Ross, Robin Finck, and returning drummer Josh Freese joined for high-energy songs like "Ruiner," "Piggy," and "Wish." Dramatic curtain projections and roaming stage movement amplified the performance.
Nine Inch Nails have long been one of music's most innovative bands, as evidenced by the multi-sensory spectacle displayed on their current "Peel It Back" tour. The outing hit Brooklyn, New York's Barclays Center on Tuesday night (September 2nd), thrilling the adoring audience at the sold-out arena. Long merch lines greeted concertgoers walking into the venue, with fans clamoring to get the latest "NIN" T-shirts and hoodies.
As the last beat of Boys Noize's DJ set sounded, the curtain dropped on the B-stage, where NIN mastermind Trent Reznor sat alone at his keyboard, performing "Right Where It Belongs." One by one, he was joined by other members of the band, including Alessandro Cortini, Atticus Ross, and Robin Finck as "Ruiner" and "Piggy (Nothing Can Stop Me Now)" followed, with Reznor now prancing his way around the small stage with microphone in hand and singing to each quadrant of the arena.
