Nine Inch Nails Rock at the Coachella Festival

Nine Inch Nails played their first live show of the year to a 30,000 strong crowd of fans at California's Coachella Festival. The band performed to the packed audience in soaring daytime temperatures for over an hour.

Trent Reznor, Nine Inch Nail's frontman and an icon of altenative rock, returned to the stage with his band after after a near fatal overdose on the last tour. The alternative rock stars showcased tracks from their new album "White Teeth" which is the band's first studio release since 1999. They also played their classics "Hurt", "Closer", and "Head like a Hole".

Reznor and co. will be touring small venues in North America before beginning a European tour in June. Another North American tour of arenas is scheduled for the autumn.
