Nine Inch Nails

Nine Inch Nails has been nominated for twelve Grammy Awards and won twice for the songs "Wish" and "Happiness in Slavery", in 1992 and 1996 respectively.

The band has sold more than 30 million albums worldwide, released a remarkable series of singles, including the No. 1 Alternative songs "The Hand That Feeds," "Only," "Every Day Is Exactly The Same," and "Survivalism."

After recording a new album, Reznor usually assembles a live band to perform with him. The touring band features a revolving lineup that often rearranges songs to fit a live setting. Recently, he revealed that the new lineup includes Adrian Belew of King Crimson, Josh Eustis of Telefon Tel Aviv, as well as returning members Alessandro Cortini, and Ilan Rubin.

Nine Inch Nails will be performing at a number of festivals, including Lollapalooza, Outside Lands, Leeds, Reading, Made In America, and The Voodoo Festival.
