Grand Rapids NIN Tickets Go Onsale Next Saturday
Phil Barry, an SLS viewer, was informed from a friend who works at his local Tower Records that the
Nine Inch Nails Grand Rapids, MI (4/25 Van Andel arena) should go on sale next Saturday (3/25). Although ticketmaster has yet to announce this,
we were told it's due to the fact that they are working out some pricing issues.
NIN Fan Wins Trent Reznor Senior High School Yearbook On Ebay!
The original owner of the 1983 Trent Reznor yearbook wrote us to congratulate the $960 winner!
"I just wanted to tell you the outcome of the auction," explained the owner. "We had a pretty heat bidding war going on in the last few hours,
and then minutes." So close, it came down to two people... "The winner of the yearbook was 'TheBlackDahlia79' with the high bid of $960.00,"
the original owner explained. "Yes," commented the original owner, "she wanted it really bad!"
So congratulations to her. We hope she enjoys it! By the way, for those wondering, we were given permission to use her screen name.
Below is the description of the yearbook from the original auction:
Nine Inch Nails Trent Reznor's High School year book. Graduated from Mercer, PA in 1983. See how he looked while in High School. As with any senior
yearbook, there are several pictures of him. For instance he was in the senior play called "Once A Upon A Mattress." A must have for a hard core Nine
Inch Nails fan. As with any yearbook there are a few pages with writing on them. The book is in excellent condition.
Nine Inch Nails & Smashing Pumpkins Still Likely To Headline Edgefest 2000 - Details Still Sketchy
Kyle Clarke, an SLS viewer, just finished listening to his local radio station in Ottawa,
Ontario called XFM. "After they played Nine Inch Nails Into The Void," explained Kyle, "they said Nine Inch Nails and Smashing Pumpkins may be
going on this year's Edgefest, but details are still sketchy at this time."
"So seeing the European festival dates," explained Kyle, "it looks to me anyway Nine Inch Nails won't play Edgefest unless they change the
time of year Edgefest is to accommodate Nine Inch Nails." He continued, "normally Edgefest runs from late June to Mid July, however in 1997
they did do the Western Leg in August to get Silverchair to play on it." We will just see what happens.
For more information about Edgefest 2000, please read our February 15th headline, "Edgefest 2000 Headliners Announced Including Nine Inch Nails" for more info.

Hurricane & Southside NIN Dates + Flyers
Nils Schlüter, an SLS viewer, wrote us this afternoon to give us the heads up
on the Hurricane and Southside festivals. "I'm in contact with the guys from Scorpio concerts," explained Nils, "which
is the company who runs the two German festivals, called HURRICANE and SOUTHSIDE."
They told him that Nine Inch Nails will play the Hurricane Festival on Saturday, June 24th and the Southside Festival on
Sunday, June 25th. "So if NIN will play at the Glastonbury festival there is only space on Friday, 23rd of June," explained
Niles. (Please read our headline below for more information about Glastonbury festival.)
These two festivals take place at the same weekend, Hurricane is in northern Germany (between Hamburg and Bremen) and Southside
takes place near Stuttgart, which is in the south of Germany. both festivals have (nearly) the same billing and will exchange the bands on the second day.
Nine Inch Nails Confirmed For Quart Festival 2000
It seems the Norwegian newspapers "Dagbladet" have confirmed Nine Inch Nails to play at this year's
Quart festival in Kristiandsand.
"They had a few new names for the Quart festival in Kristiandsand," explained Johannes who read today's
paper, "and among Oasis and Cradle of Filth, Nine Inch Nails are confirmed to play." The paper said the festival dates are to take place between
July 4th - 8th '00.
Although the newspaper is in Norwegian, you can read the article here. Last year's
festival included such acts as Marilyn Manson, Blur, Fatboy Slim, Massive Attack and The Cardigans to just name a few.
Mictian, an SLS viewer, wrote us on March 5th to inform us he had a brief chat with the Quart festival chief, which he confirmed they had booked NIN for
this year's festival. "I talked to Toffen Gundersen," added Mictian, "he said that they had booked NiN, but that they couldn't go public with it before
April." (Please read our March 7th headline "Nine Inch Nails A Possible Contender On This Years Quarts Festival?" for more info.)
Trent Reznor wrote us on March 3rd to confirm that they would play a few festivals in Europe, so this may be one of the few. (Please read our headline
"Trent Reznor Comments To SLS News About Richard Patrick, US Tour Dates Nearly Here & Rehearsing Oh My!" for more info). Other festivals Nine Inch Nails
are confirmed to play, according to the official festival websites, is this years's Hurricane,
Roskilde and even possibly the Glastonbury
festival.
According to the official Hurricane newsletter and website it's official. Other acts who are to join the two date festival on June 24th and 25th with Nine
Inch Nails are Deine Lakaien, Ani Difranco, Die Firma, Eat No Fish, Element of Crime, Filter, Fink, Fu Manchu, Giant Sand, Gomez, HIM, Jamiroquai, Laika,
Live, Macy Gray, Missing Link, Moby, Rico, Rollins Band, Therapy?, Tonic, The Tea Party and Uncle Ho. For more information please read our February 14th
headline, "Possible Nine Inch Nails Performances At Germany's 'Hurricane Festival' June 2000."
Tomm, an SLS viewer, wrote us on March 16th with some information about this year's Roskilde festival. The official
festival website said this on their March 16th headline, "According to the homepage of
Iron Maiden, Nine Inch Nails will also play Roskilde June 29th." This year's festival kicks off on June 29th and plays to July 2nd.
Although it hasn't been confirmed, NME.com seem to think Nine Inch Nails might play at this year's Glastonbury Festival.
Below is the NIN blurb featured in this link.
"David Bowie is to headline Glastonbury on Sunday night while Chemical Brothers are tipped to play Friday. Other acts in the frame include Nine Inch Nails...."
Glastonbury will take place on the 23rd, 24th and 25th of June, some dates coincide with the Hurricane Festival, but there's still some hope for Glastonbury
goers who want to see NIN even though this has not been confirmed.
