[[Josh Freese]] took over for Rubin at the start of the first North American leg, and [[Stu Brooks]] took over for Cortini at the start of the second North American leg. [[Boys Noize]] was the opening act for every show on the tour. The tour, consisting of 63 shows in three legs across Europe and North America, started in Dublin, Ireland on June 15, 2025, and finished in Sacramento, United States on March 16, 2026. It was preceded by the band's [[NIN 2022|US and UK shows in 2022]].
After Reznor and Ross had focused on composing [[film score]]s, they made plans to put their creative inspiration into new Nine Inch Nails work. A new Nine Inch Nails project was expected since December 2024, and leaks regarding concert dates began in mid-January 2025 until the band confirmed the tour, but the announcement was delayed due to the ongoing [[January 2025 Southern California wildfires|Los Angeles wildfires]]. They later confirmed dates for the Peel It Back Tour, with a European leg running from June through July and a North American leg from August through September. In October, they announced an extension adding additional North American shows scheduled for February and March 2026.
From [[Nine Inch Nails discography|their discography]], the band played both their main [[hit song|hits]] and [[wikt:deep cut|deep cut]]s, and shows were split between a main and [[B-stage]]. The concert's staging displayed visuals of rain, moving silhouettes, and dramatic curtain drops, with recording done by way of [[hand-held camera|hand-held cinematography]], and using displays [[3D projection|3D projected]] onto [[translucent]] fabric. The tour saw many of the band's songs played for the first time in years, several live debuts, and [[cover songs]]. The Peel It Back Tour received critical acclaim, gaining praise for its lighting and production, energetic performances, and Freese's return. It was among the biggest concert tours in 2025, attracting over 450,000 concertgoers during that year's shows.
