Trent Reznor Will Only Bring The Best New Music On Tour With Him

Opening for this summer’s Nine Inch Nails tour, which kicks off at the Pemberton Festival before fanning out across the country: Crystal Castles, Deerhunter, A Place To Bury Strangers, Does It Offend You, Yeah?, and White Williams. Average Pitchfork score of the five openers’ albums: 7.14–but it goes up to 8.3 if you toss out Tom Ewing’s pan of the Does It Offend You, Yeah? album. Tour dates and openers after the jump.
