Nine Inch Nails

On February 22, 2009, Nine Inch Nails delivered a powerful live performance of "1,000,000" at the Soundwave Festival in Sydney, Australia, just before the band moved into a new phase of their career. This gig came shortly after the release of their critically acclaimed album, "The Slip," which dropped in 2008 as a surprise free download. At this point, frontman Trent Reznor was embracing a more raw, energetic sound, showcasing the band's evolution since the 90s industrial rock scene. Interestingly, this period marked the end of their traditional touring model, as Reznor hinted at plans to retire the band after the tour’s conclusion. Fans could feel the tension in the air—excitement mixed with a sense of impending farewell—making this performance all the more poignant.
