As we all pretty much surmised last week, Alternative Nation royalty Soundgarden and Nine Inch Nails will be hitting the road together this summer, setting up shop at pretty much every shed in the lower 48 over the course of a grueling five and a half weeks. Today, we get the official announcement — dates, venues, pre-sale info, public-sale info, etc. It’s all pretty much what you’d expect from a summer tour built around a pair of veteran acts touring as much behind the respective 20th anniversaries of their best-loved (and best) albums as their new records. With one exception: Instead of tapping, like, Silversun Pickups to open, they’re going with motherfucking Death Grips. That had to be Trent’s idea, no? I would love to have been in the room when he floated that one. How are Death Grips gonna go over at, for instance, Jones Beach, on a Friday night in August, playing to a slowly assembling crowd of Long Island Soundgarden fans who got to the show early to find their seats and loosen up with a few beers? I’m predicting it’s gonna be a mixed reaction. Anyway, all tour and ticket sale info below.
