Nine Inch Nails played their first show in four years at the Red Hat Amphitheater in Raleigh, North Carolina on Thursday night.

The Trent Reznor-led outfit performed a career-spanning 21-song set that opened with four songs from The Fragile, followed by multiple tracks from each The Downward Spiral and With Teeth. Notably, the band dusted off “Every Day Is Exactly the Same,” from With Teeth, for the first time since 2006.

Elsewhere in the set, NIN covered a pair of David Bowie songs, “I’m Afraid of Americans” and “Fashion,” the latter marking the first time the band performed the song live in concert. (Reznor and Atticus Ross first covered the song as part of a David Bowie virtual tribute concert in 2021.)

To close the show, NIN played a three-song encore that included “Reptile,” “And All That Could Have Been,” and “Hurt.”
