We're both excited and sad to see Nine Inch Nails announce an L.A. "The Cold and Black and Infinite Tour" date, while at the same time canceling in one fell swoop. According to their Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter accounts, Nine Inch Nails has revealed that they will no longer be performing in the Los Angeles edition of Primavera Sound in 2020. The band even released 2020 tour merch to commemorate the tour that never was, with proceeds going to local food banks. The inaugural edition of Primavera Sound L.A. is currently scheduled to take place at Los Angeles State Historic Park from Saturday, September 19, to Sunday, September 20. No news on whether anyone else in this year's festival lineup will no be performing either or if the festival is canceled at press time.
