Trent Reznor just posted the following at NIN-website:
“Getting right to the point, we’re going to play a handful of shows in NYC, Chicago and LA starting August 22nd. They will be informal affairs in medium to small venues with longer set-lists, possible special guests, cool openers and other surprises. Upon reflection, the NIN/JA tour felt like we had to rush through sets due to a limited allotted set length and many shows were in daylight – it just didn’t feel right to end NIN that way. An offer to headline V-Fest in Toronto (being announced soon) set the idea in motion to play some FUN shows to end this up with. If we can get it together we’ll film these shows, too. In NYC we’ll be playing Bowery Ballroom, Webster Hall and Terminal 5. In Chicago, the Aragon Ballroom. In LA we’ll be at The Wiltern, The Henry Fonda, The Palladium and The Echoplex. These should be cool, unusual and unique shows and I hope you come out – this is it.
So far, The Horrors will be joining us for some shows in NYC, Mew will be with us at other shows in NYC, Chicago and LA, and perhaps more. Details and ticket info will be announced shortly, so check back.
Thanks,
Trent”
Maybe their getting all the big cities out of the way so they can go to smaller cities in the future! Like detroit!
Definitely going to the L.A. one!
Will mew update their blog to list the LA shows? I do not want to create a membership on the NIN page just to find out dates and/or buy tickets… although considering how big NIN is… I might just have to before the show is sold out :o.
Last time NIN announced confirmed dates with Mew, Mew announced them the very same day at their MySpace-page and so did we here at MewX. Seeing as the shows start next month, the announcements will be made within a few days, I’m sure. Stay tuned, we will be posting them as soon we can.
