Addicted to Nine Inch Nails
MANILA, Philippines – Local music fans have been buzzing with anticipation over Nine Inch Nails’ August 5 gig at the Araneta Coliseum. As soon as local promoter Splintr opened tickets sales last May, fans have been lining up to snag the much-coveted front row tickets. A box-office employee was reportedly puzzled over the amount of tickets being bought not weeks, but months in advance. Those in the know predict that interest in the tour, which may be NIN’s last, will only increase as the show looms closer.
Capping off a wildly successful career, NIN mastermind Trent Reznor is taking a victory lap with the Wave Goodbye tour. “In NIN world, 2009 marks the 20th anniversary of our first releases,” Reznor wrote in his blog. Our own Pupil was chosen by Reznor himself as opening act, cementing the band’s status as one of Manila’s finest acts.
The Philippine leg of Nine Inch Nails’ Wave Goodbye tour will take place on August 5 at the Araneta Coliseum. To purchase tickets, call Ticketnet at 911.5555 or log on to www.ticketnet.com.ph. Visit www.splintr.com for more details.
