NINE INCH NAILS CONCERT HITS UM DEC. 9
MISSOULA -
Missoula, you’ve never rocked like this before.
On Tuesday, Dec. 9, Nine Inch Nails - perhaps the most influential industrial rock band of all time - will perform at 8 p.m. in the Adams Center at The University of Montana.
The doors open at 7 p.m. for the “Lights in the Sky Over North America” tour.
Reserved seating and.general admission floor tickets are $43. They go on sale at 10 a.m.
Friday, Oct. 24, with a limit of eight tickets per purchaser.
Tickets are available at all GrizTix outlets (the Adams Center Box Office, The Source in the University Center, Southgate Mall and Worden’s Market), by calling 888-MONTANA or visiting http://www.griztix.com.
The opening band is The Bug, a London-based group that draws from a wide range of influences such as dancehall and hip-hop.
Known for hard-hitting tunes such as “Head Like a Hole,” “Closer,” “Hurt” and “The
Hand that Feeds,” Nine Inch Nails is the brainchild of Trent Reznor, who serves as the band’s main producer, singer, songwriter and instrumentalist. He is joined on this tour by returning member Robin Finck, new addition Justin Mendal-Johnsen and band mates Alessandro Cortini and Josh Freese. NIN has released eight studio albums, as well as various live and remixed works. In
1992 “Broken” earned the band two Grammies. “The Downward Spiral,” the band s 1994 classic, was ranked by Rolling Stone magazine as one of the greatest albums of all time.
The band continues to release critically acclaimed albums. This year’s “Ghosts I-IV” and “The Slip” were distributed digitally - “The Slip” as a free-of-charge gift to fans. m
