Nine Inch Nails have confirmed that support for their upcoming ‘Peel It Back’ tour will be coming from Boys Noize. Check out the details below.
The iconic rock band – comprising Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross – announced details of a huge tour back in January, dubbed ‘Peel It Back’. It’ll mark their first live performances together since 2022 and see them take to the stage in the UK, Europe and North America later this summer.
Now, ahead of the shows kicking off, the band have confirmed that Boys Noize will be joining them as support.
The artist, DJ, and producer, whose real name is Alex Ridha, is set to join the band from their opening night in Dublin in June, all the way through their remaining dates in the UK, Europe and the US. This includes a slot at the Co-op Live in Manchester and a gig at London’s O2 on June 17 and 18 respectively.
The artist has provided production for artists like A$AP Rocky, Lady Gaga, Frank Ocean and more, and gone on to collaborate with the likes of Skrillex, Pussy Riot, Shygirl, Tommy Cash and many more.
He also has a longtime relationship with Nine Inch Nails, working with Reznor and Ross to create the score for the Zendaya-starring film Challengers, as well as for Oliver Stone’s Snowdon.
“Boys Noize builds worlds, then builds bridges between them. Propelled by an infatuation with sonic invention and a prescience for culture, the German-Iraqi artist, DJ, and producer has developed a peerless practice that is deeply informed by electronic music history but always pushes beyond convention,” reads a description.
“Boys Noize embodies the transformation and expansion of 21st-century techno, house and electro into a massive global phenomenon,” it added. “Yet as a Berliner and lifelong DJ, he remains dedicated to the underground, tearing through subcultural scenes large and small as he experiments with aliases across genres.”

Nine Inch Nails first confirmed that they would be touring in 2025 at the start of the new year, when information about the shows leaked online. However, the group delayed the official announcement due to the Los Angeles wildfires.
“We are all watching the devastation that is unfolding in California and have paused our announcement while people try to deal with all that is happening,” they told fans.
During an interview at the end of 2024, Reznor revealed that NIN had been working on new material. “We’re ready to be back in the driver’s seat,” he said.
An upcoming new record would mark their first since the surprise 2020 ambient double album ‘Ghosts V-VI’, which followed 2018’s ‘Bad Witch’.
