Watch Nine Inch Noize make their live debut with a full set at Coachella
A full collaborative album carrying the 'HALO 38' tag arrives later this month.
Trent Reznor's collaborative project with German producer Boys Noize have delivered their inaugural complete performance, bringing Nine Inch Noize to the Sahara stage at Coachella on 11th April.
Building on brief appearances during last year's 'Peel It Back' tour, the 45-minute set saw the group rework Nine Inch Nails material through a club-oriented lens. Tracks such as 'Closer', 'Copy of A', 'Me, I'm Not' and 'Came Back Haunted' were all given reimagined, beat-driven treatments, while the setlist also drew from beyond the Nine Inch Nails catalogue, incorporating 'Parasite' from Reznor and Mariqueen Maandig's project How to Destroy Angels alongside a rendition of Soft Cell's 'Memorabilia'.
Visually, the staging placed Reznor and Maandig side by side at the rear of a tunnel carved into a mountainous structure, with a dozen dancers accompanying the performance throughout. The show kicked off with a reworked version of the 2007 track 'Vessel' before moving through 'She's Gone Away', 'Heresy', 'The Warning' and 'As Alive as You Need Me to Be'.
A full-length Nine Inch Noize album was announced earlier this week, carrying the designation 'HALO 38' to maintain the sequential numbering system used across Nine Inch Nails' discography. The record arrives on 17th April.
Reznor and Boys Noize first joined creative forces when the producer was brought in to deconstruct and reimagine the Challengers score that Reznor composed with Atticus Ross in 2024. Further soundtrack work on TRON: Ares followed last year, laying the groundwork for the project's evolution into a live entity.
Speaking at the closing date of the 'Peel It Back' tour, Reznor had previously clarified remarks about Nine Inch Nails' future as a performing act. "I think I said something the other day that then got misconstrued into something that is not intentionally necessarily true," he explained. "What I said was, this is the last show of this tour and we don't have any shows booked and we don't have any plans to book any shows any time in the future so far. That doesn't mean we may not tour again."
