Not that it’s that big of a surprise, but the Nine Inch Nails and Soundgarden tour that’s been rumored has finally been confirmed. Death Grips will open the tour. Earlier this month, both bands’ Instagram accounts posted similar quick cut video snippets suggesting a tour was coming. Soundgarden’s was specific enough to show venues, which internet sleuths used to determine many of the markets. A few Live Nation slip-ups listed on-sale dates as well. But as recently as Thursday, Soundgarden played coy when asked if they would be touring with Trent and friends. The tour was announced twenty years to the week that the two acts released albums. On March 8, 1994, two of the ’90s most iconic alternative albums were released. Superunknown debuted the following week at #1, selling 310,000 copies, while The Downward Spiral came in second.
