Nine Inch Nails come to Charlottesville

Industrial rock giants Nine Inch Nails recently extended a second leg for their Lights in the Sky tour, and Charlottesville’s own John Paul Jones Arena is one of the many venues on the agenda. The group, which is essentially the pet project of frontman Trent Reznor, is touring in support of its excellent recent albums (Reznor’s first since striking out on his own after breaking from Interscope) – the ambient Ghosts I-IV and traditional rocker The Slip. The group plans to incorporate these songs into a setlist fleshed out by old classics. Tickets will go on sale Sept. 5 at the JPJ box office, with special student pricing available for a limited time.
