Nine Inch Nails performed a mini set alongside Boys Noize at the Los Angeles premiere for TRON: Ares on Monday, October 6th.
Reprising their “Nine Inch Noize”-style show seen in the middle of their 2025 “Peel It Back Tour” — plus longtime member Robin Finck on guitar — the group performed four songs from their recently-released soundtrack for TRON: Ares. They began with lead single “As Alive as You Need Me to Be,” continued with a live debut of “Forked Reality” followed by “The Warning,” and concluded the set with a live debut of “Shadow Over Me.” Watch a fan-captured video of the group playing “As Alive” below.
