Grammy Award-winning singer/songwriter/producer Trent Reznor has announced an appearance in Honolulu with his band, Nine Inch Nails (pictured above), at the Blaisdell Arena.
Tickets for the Sept. 18 concert are priced at $52.50 and $55, and will go on sale at 9 a.m. Aug. 4 at all Ticketmaster outlets.
NIN, which Reznor founded in 1988, is getting ready to launch a summer tour in support of “Year Zero,” which was released in March. The band arrives in Honolulu after concerts in Europe, Asia and Australia.
Tickets also go on sale Aug. 4 for a return performance by Fountains of Wayne, the power pop/rock band that hails from Williamstown, Mass. They’re scheduled to play Pipeline Cafe on Oct. 23; tickets will be available at Hawaii’s Natural High as well as all Ticketmaster outlets.
Best known for their 2003 mainstream hit, “Stacy’s Mom,” the band is currently on tour in support of their latest album, “Traffic and Weather.”
Fountains of Wayne’s last visit to the islands came in 2003, when they headlined the “Off the Heezy Fo Sheezy Party” at the Beach House.

Finally…only if Hawaii radio stations would play other forms of music that isn’t ghetto rap crap. Nine Inch Nails (Trent Reznor) is prehaps one the most talented artists in the music industry. Very few people know of his humanitarian contributions (Katrina efforts, PETA)or the fact that he was named of the top 25 most influential people by Time magazine.
