Reznor also confirmed that these would be the last by NIN for some time, revealing that, "It's time to make NIN disappear for a while." He also said that they will be "much more raw, spontaneous and less scripted" compared to last year's 'Lights in the Sky tour.
The pairing with Jane's Addiction has been inspired by NIN's stint on the maiden Lollapalooza tour in 1991, which was headlined by Jane's. The band broke up for the first time shortly thereafter, only to reunite minus original bassist Eric Avery in 1997 and again in 2001.
"These performances essentially created and defined the term 'alternative' rock in the U.S., created an ongoing festival franchise that is still thriving (Lollapalooza), set the stage for Nirvana to shift popular taste a few months later, and were really f*cking FUN to play and attend -- truly the best times I've had." Reznor wrote.
Reznor has recently been in the studio with Jane's Addiction, who have played a handful of intimate L.A. club shows in the past few months with bassist Avery, but are yet to announce a full-scale reunion tour.
Although tour dates for the UK have not been announced, there are rumours that the band will appear over here in the late summer.
