Nine Inch Nails and Jane's Addiction hit road in May

Reuters, Mar 4, 2009 9:00 pm PST
Nine Inch Nails and Jane's Addiction will kick off their co-headlining tour on May 8 in West Palm Beach, Fla., they said on Wednesday.

The 23-date amphitheater trek ends June 12 in Charlotte, N.C. The Chicago date, May 29 at the Charter One Pavilion, is the only stop on the tour without Jane's Addiction, fueling speculation that Perry Farrell's band will headline his own Lollapalooza festival there in August.

The tour may be Nine Inch Nails' last before an extended break. In announcing the tour recently, mainman Trent Reznor stopped short of saying the band was going on something more than a hiatus. But Reznor confirmed these will be the last NIN shows for some time, and that they will be "much more raw, spontaneous and less scripted" compared to last year's "Lights in the Sky" tour. "It's time to make NIN disappear for a while," he said.

Key stops include May 20 at Irvine, Calif., June 2 at Toronto, and June 7 at Wantagh, N.Y.
