Nine Inch Nails returned to the stage in Dublin, Ireland on Sunday for their first live performance in three years. Marking the launch of their “Peel It Back World Tour,” Trent Reznor and co. present a four-act, 20-song set that spanned their entire catalog, performing on both a main stage and a B-stage nestled in the middle of the audience, all accompanied by elaborate visuals and lighting.

The set opened with a trio of deep cuts—“Right Where It Belongs,” “Ruiner,” and “Piggy (Nothing Can Stop Me Now)”—none of which had been performed live since 2009. NIN then moved on to playing some fan favorites, including “March of the Pigs,” “The Frail,” “Copy of A,” and “Gave Up.” The third act saw Reznor welcome tour opener Boyz Noise to the stage for a trio of live collaborations, including “Vessel,” How to Destroy Angel’s “Parasite,” and “Came Back Haunted.” NIN then closed the night with a final act of greatest hits featuring “Closer,” “The Hand That Feeds,” “Head Like a Hole,” and “Hurt,” plus their cover of David Bowie’s “I’m Afraid of Americans.” Check out the full setlist and fan-captured footage below.
NIN’s “Peel It Back World Tour” travels through Europe through mid-July before making its way to North America beginning in Early August. See the full list of dates below, and look for last-minute tickets here. NIN also have new music on the way — in the form of the soundtrack to TRON: Ares.
