Nine Inch Nails - Reptile Live Performance at Panorama Festival
In their performance of 'Reptile' at the Panorama Festival on July 30, 2017, Nine Inch Nails was riding high on the release of their EP 'Not the Actual Events,' which had dropped just months earlier in December 2016. This marked a significant return to the studio for the band, reflecting a darker and more introspective phase in Trent Reznor's career. It was a thrilling time, as the live set at Randall's Island Park not only showcased their classic industrial sound but also hinted at the intense evolution seen in their new work. This particular performance also solidified their reputation for creating immersive live experiences, complimented by elaborate visual setups. Fans were especially electrified by the raw energy of 'Reptile,' a fan-favorite that dates back to the iconic album 'The Downward Spiral' almost 25 years prior. Seeing Nine Inch Nails deliver this magnetizing track live, in such a vibrant setting, was nothing short of a cathartic experience.
