In June 2005, the Live: With Teeth tour embarked on a two-month global trek. The tour began in Europe to play both headlining shows and festivals and wrapped up in August 2005 in Japan and Australia. Opening acts for this tour were Bird Blobs, The Dresden Dolls, Eagles Of Death Metal, The Follow, and Saul Williams.
Line-Up
- Alessandro Cortini: Keyboards, programming, guitar, bass, backing vocals
- Jerome Dillon: Drums
- Aaron North: Guitar, backing vocals
- Trent Reznor: Vocals, guitar, keyboards, tambourine, mbira
- Jeordie White: Bass, guitar, keyboards, backing vocals
Stage Set-Up
The stage setup for the international tour was minimal. It featured onstage lighting in the form of vertical light bars behind the band, and a few small clusters of lights that were attached to wire structures almost resembling flowers. These fixtures were incorporated into the rest of With Teeth tour stage setups, up until the Summer 2006 tour.

- "Pinion"
- "Wish"
- "Sin"
- "March Of The Pigs"
