Nine Inch Nails and Boys Noize Ready ‘Nine Inch Noize’

Nine Inch Nails’ Nine Inch Noize will be released this Friday, April 17th, via Interscope Records.

About their work with Boys Noize and this album, Trent Reznor said: “The creative fulfillment of working on the Challengers and TRON scores with Boys Noize led me to think that including him in the ‘Peel It Back Tour’ could be an interesting way to express NIN in more purely electronic terms live – a concept I’ve wanted to explore for some time. The result was so much fun for us, we felt it was worth expanding and formalizing in some way.

On a whim, I mentioned it would be cool to play a whole set as Nine Inch Noize in the Sahara tent at Coachella. Careful what you wish for…the next thing I knew, we were designing a whole new show to present in the way it deserved.

There’s no surprise tour announcement – this Saturday is it. I’m taking Sunday off and excited to be working on new Nine Inch Nails music Monday – I’ll see you when I come up for air.

We recorded this album all over the place – some of it’s live, some in studios, hotels, planes, etc. We had a lot of fun revisiting these songs and hope you enjoy. Listen LOUD.”

Praising last weekend’s Nine Inch Noize set, Consequence said, “With Mariqueen Maandig also part of the live configuration, the performance felt even more immersive and fully realized than a side-project detour might have suggested. It was a display of cathartic intensity, and a potent showcase for Reznor and company’s singular gift for controlled chaos…Nine Inch Noize delivered one of Coachella 2026’s most memorable performances.”

Rolling Stone hailed it as “a phenomenal production that feels of its time…” Brooklyn Vegan said, “It was a desert epic – Dune-esque – with a trio core.” SF Gate observed, “ …the group’s Saturday night set at the Sahara stage seems primed to go down as one of the festival’s greatest performances of all time.”

Named “Live Act of the Year” in 2025 by Consequence, Nine Inch Nails drew more than 700,000 fans on 2025/26’s sold-out “Peel It Back Tour” across Europe, the UK and North America. The outing featured Nine Inch Nails performing on two stages – the main stage and the smaller B-stage, located in the crowd. Each concert included an interlude where Nine Inch Nails were joined by Boys Noize on the B-stage. Together, they reimagined select songs from Nine Inch Nails, Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross’ award-winning score compositions and their How to Destroy Angels project.

Nine Inch Noize includes reworkings of nine Nine Inch Nails songs – including “Closer” and “AS ALIVE AS YOU NEED ME TO BE,” the GRAMMY®-winning hit from TRON: Ares (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) – and “Parasite,” by How To Destroy Angels.
