Nine Inch Nails are one of the planet’s top live acts. Trent Reznor has been unmissable on stage for over 30 years, and since Atticus Ross joined the project in the 2010s NIN have become even more of a spectacle.

Needless to say, when your town is getting a Nine Inch Nails show you do not want to miss it. And that’s exactly what is arriving in London this week. Reznor and Ross are at Greenwich’s O2 Arena as part of their current Peel It Back tour, which marks their first live shows since 2022. 

Heading down to southwest London to see Nine Inch Nails live? Here’s everything you need to know, from timings and potential setlists to any remaining ticket availability.

When are Nine Inch Nails playing at London’s O2?

Reznor and Ross are in town on Wednesday June 18 2025.

What are the timings? 

Doors open at 6.30pm, though doors to the O2 (with all its bars and restaurants) open earlier. Nine Inch Nails are set to come on stage at 8pm, according to the O2’s website.

What’s the setlist?

At the first night of the Peel It Back tour in Dublin last Sunday (June 15), Reznor and Ross whipped out tracks unheard by NIN for over a decade – ‘Right Where It Belongs’, ‘Ruiner’ and ‘Piggy (Nothing Can Stop Me Now)’ all made an appearance.
