Returning guitarist Robin Finck and new bass player Rich Fownes will join Reznor and recent NIN mainstays Alessandro Cortini (keyboards) and Josh Freese (drums), for the coming trek, which kicks off July 25 at British Columbia's Pemberton Festival.
Finck, who has spent the past several years touring and recording with Guns N' Roses, has toured with NIN in the past, with his most recent stint coming in support of the band's 1999 release "The Fragile." Newcomer Fownes has performed recently with British electronic duo UNKLE and has spent time in With Scissors and The Eighties Matchbox B-Line Disaster.
Reznor and his crew are currently set for 24 dates across the summer months, with more shows on the way, according to the group's publicist. The full schedule is below.
The group's latest studio album, the four-disc all-instrumental "Ghosts I-IV," was released online in a variety of formats, including the option for listeners to try out the set's first disc for free. The album in its entirety can be purchased for $5, and NIN is also offering "Ghosts" in deluxe packages ranging from $10 to the $300 "ultra-deluxe limited edition," which sold out almost immediately, according to the band.
Reznor composed and recorded the set over a 10-week period last fall, along with help from producers Atticus Ross and Alan Moulder (Depeche Mode), with whom he has worked in the past. Cortini, veteran musician Adrian Belew, and Dresden Dolls drummer Brian Viglione also contributed, according to the album's website.
Earlier this month, NIN's management announced that the project had racked up $1.6 million in direct sales in under two weeks.
