The '''Lollapalooza Tour''' took place from July 12–August 20, 1991 in North America as part of the inaugural Lollapalooza festival, organized by [[Jane's Addiction]] frontman Perry Farrell. The song "[[Now I'm Nothing]]" was written as an intro track for this tour. Portions of this performance can be found on ''[[Closure]].'' The tour is part of the [[Pretty Hate Machine Tour]] series.
The other bands who played during this tour were Jane's Addiction, Siouxsie and the Banshees, Living Colour, Ice-T & Body Count, Butthole Surfers, Rollins Band, Violent Femmes, Fishbone, and Emergency Broadcast Network. Several shows during the tour included members of other bands (such as Ice-T and Dave Navarro of Jane's Addiction) joining [[Nine Inch Nails]] onstage for "[[Head Like A Hole (song)|Head Like A Hole]]" at the end of the set. NIN would again be part of later incarnations of the Lollapalooza Festival in 2008, 2013 , and 2014.

==Stage Set-Up==
The stage setup was basic, but an added element was two black banners with the letter 'N' on them in white, which hung onstage behind the band. The second 'N' is backwards, implying that the banners were supposed to resemble the [[Logo History|NIN logo]], but the 'I' is not present in any photos or footage from the tour. The banners had holes in them, most likely to reduce wind resistance as the outdoor stage was sometimes open at the back.
==Typical setlist==
#"[[Get Down, Make Love]]" and/or "[[Ringfinger]]"
#"[[Down In It (song)|Down In It]]"
#"[[Head Like A Hole (song)|Head Like A Hole]]"
"[[That's What I Get]]" and an early version of "[[Suck]]" were played at the warm-up shows.
