Stage Set-Up
This touring cycle had a stripped down, back-to-basics approach, similar to that of the Wave Goodbye Tour in 2009. Reznor stated that he had bowed out of the "arms-race" of concert technology. Behind the band was a scrim, and very basic lighting was used. Smoke machines were able to be used, as no elaborate visual elements would be interfered with. The overall looseness of production allowed for setlists to be notably spontaneous.
Typical Setlist
The three sets played were all quite different from each other, with only three songs being played on all three nights ("Wish", "March of the Pigs", and "Less Than").
The shows included the live debuts of "God Break Down The Door" and "Ahead Of Ourselves", as well as the Joy Division song "Digital" being performed for the first time by NIN. In addition, "Metal" and "I Do Not Want This" were both performed for the first time since 2009.
