Nine Inch Nails is hitting the road this summer for a complete US arena tour that will dissolve into international dates wrapping up in 2014. Front man Trent Reznor released a statement today to Pitchfork confirming the tour, the band's first in four years. Read the full statement below.

"Nine Inch Nails are touring this year.

I was working with Adrian Belew on some musical ideas, which led to some discussion on performing, which led to some beard-scratching, which (many steps later) led to the decision to re-think the idea of what Nine Inch Nails could be, and the idea of playing a show. Calls were made to some friends, lots of new ideas were discussed, and a show was booked - which led to another, which somehow led to a lot of shows.

The band is reinventing itself from scratch and will be comprised of Eric Avery, Adrian Belew, Alessandro Cortini, Josh Eustis, Ilan Rubin, and me. The first shows will begin this summer, followed by a full-on arena tour of the U.S. this fall, and lots of other dates worldwide to follow through 2014.

Lots of details and dates to come. See you soon.
