On March 27, 2008, after much speculation, [[Nine Inch Nails]] announced a series of North American tour dates. A statement from [[Trent Reznor]] accompanied the announcement:
:Lots going on in the world of nine inch nails...
:Confirming a very poorly kept secret, the band has been reformed (details coming!) and we are about to embark on an extensive tour. The first wave of dates I can mention at this time appear below. Many more to come!
:See you soon.
On April 4, 2008, the newest line-up was listed on their official Youtube page, with [[Rich Fownes]] listed. On June 5th, 2008, [[nin.com]] was updated with the updated band members, and a [[Lights in the sky (halo)|promotional release]] and note about the tour:
:I am proud to announce the final personnel lineup of nine inch nails for the foreseeable future. We've added, we've subtracted and we've wound up with unquestionably the strongest lineup I've EVER had. Joining me onstage will be Robin Finck, Alessandro Cortini, Josh Freese and Justin Meldal-Johnson.
:We've been working on something really special for these shows and so far I couldn't be happier with the results. We'll be revealing some live performances shortly here on nin.com - in the meantime, we've posted some photos from rehearsals up on Flickr here.
:
:Meanwhile, I assume some of you may not be entirely familiar with the acts I've chosen to join us on various legs of this tour, so we've compiled a sampler EP for you.

If you like what you hear, be sure to show up early to the show (and please remember to support them by purchasing their music, if so inclined).

On November 20, 2008, a [http://vimeo.com/2294591 trailer] for the tour was posted on nin.com.
During the Las Vegas show on December 13, 2008, Reznor announced [[Alessandro Cortini]], like [[Josh Freese]], would be leaving the line-up at the end of the tour, making the show the last for both Freese and Cortini. Reznor also stated that 2009 would see Nine Inch Nails performing as a four-piece act, opting to not replace Cortini, suggesting the shows would not be of the same aesthetic, visually or musically, during the 2009 dates. The December 17, 2008, nin.com blog entry read:
:"The LIGHTS IN THE SKY era has come to a close, and I'd like to once again thank you for your support. I am very proud of what we pulled off - it was an immense amount of work and worth it all.
:I'd like to thank Josh and Alessandro for being an integral part of this for the last few years and I wish them all the best.
:No rest for the wicked here, though. We start rehearsing the new band/format first thing next year and as I mentioned, we'll be announcing some final waves of dates. North America, UK/Europe, Pacific Rim and elsewhere."

==Ticket Pre-sales==
With the development of [[nin.com]] [[Nin.com#The_Slip|v7.0]] and the discontinuation of [[The Spiral]], ticket pre-sales were no longer limited to fan club members, resulting in a new method of ticket pre-sales being developed, explained on nin.com as thus:
:Presales for the upcoming tour are about to begin. Presales for the Lexington, KY show will open on Wednesday, with many more shows starting up early next week. We’ve been working very hard to get the best tickets in the hands of the fans, bypassing scalpers, ticket resellers, and ticketing agencies… This has been a difficult process to bring together outside of The Spiral, and frankly, it’s a work in progress. The presale system you’ll be using for this tour does everything we set out to do, but as of right now ticket purchasing requires a few more steps than we’d prefer. You can expect a more streamlined system for future tours, but for now, here’s what to expect:
:First, you’ll need to be a nin.com member to access presales. If you haven’t already, register for free at [[remix.nin.com]] (click “register” once you’re at the site), or log in with your Spiral username/password (Spiral members: If you’ve changed your Spiral pa ssword since November 2007, you may need to use your old password to login).
:Then, subscribe to the news feed, or keep an eye on nin.com for presale announcements. The first announcement, regarding the Lexington show, will go up tomorrow.
:When you purchase presale tickets, you’ll need to enter your legal name exactly as it appears on your identification. When you arrive at the show, there will be a special entrance for nin.com members. Present your ID at the entrance and you’ll receive your personalized ticket, which will have your name on it (no tickets will be sent out in advance). You’ll then have to enter the venue immediately. This process ensures that our presale tickets are purchased only by fans who are attending the show, and are useless to scalpers and ticket brokers.
:More specific presale information will be posted tomorrow and in the coming days.
:P.S. - purchasing presale tickets from nin.com will generally be less expensive than from public outlets.

[[Image:Montreal2008.jpg|thumb|250px|Show in Montreal on November 12, 2008.]]
The production for the Lights In The Sky tour was the most ambitious of any NIN tour to date. Trent Reznor and lighting designer Roy Bennett worked with a company called Moment Factory to create unique and groundbreaking visuals that were at times interactive with Trent and other members of the band. This was achieved with a set of "stealth screens" that would be raised or lowered during the set.
Among these effects were a static-like visual used for "[[Only (song)|Only]]", during which Reznor's movements could break the effect as if the lights were a physical barrier; a feed from a camera trained on Reznor during "[[The Greater Good]]" and "[[Closer]]" that created a surreal, almost 3D image of his face across the stage as he sang; and a large scale re-creation of a drum machine touch screen for Josh Freese to use during "[[Echoplex]]".
