Nine Inch Nails Selling Tour Merch For Charity
Trent Reznor has shared two exciting Nine inch Nails updates with fans. Not only has he revealed he’s working on new music, but he’s also selling some of the band’s tour merch for a good cause.
Taking to Nine Inch Nails’ website, Reznor marks the two-year anniversary of the band’s “Cold and Black and Infinite” tour. They had actually planned to continue the tour this fall, which was called off due to coronavirus… but he’s not letting the tour merch go to waste.
While Reznor works on new Nine Inch Nails music and scoring projects, he’s urging fans to buy the merch to benefit local food banks in the cities the band was planning on performing.

Travis McCready Performed at a Social Distancing Concert, and It Was Weird
A real, honest-to-goodness live concert went down Monday in Fort Smith, Arkansas. Yes, there was social distancing, but that's where we are. The performer was TRAVIS MCCREADY, who's in the band Bishop Gunn.
It was at the TempleLive Theater, which holds 1,100 people, but it was limited 229 fans. They tested out a "fan pod" system by selling tickets in blocks of between two and 13. Those people would sit together but were six feet away from others.
Face masks were mandatory, and every person's temperature was checked with an infrared thermometer at the door. The floors were marked with stickers and tape to keep people at a proper distance away from everything, including merch and food.
The fans who were there seemed to love it, but when you look at the photos the whole thing looked empty and kind of sad.
