Nine Inch Noize is a collaborative musical project between American industrial rock band Nine Inch Nails and German-Iraqi electronic music producer Boys Noize (Alexander Ridha). The project emerged from their collaboration on Challengers (MIXED), the TRON: Ares soundtrack and the subsequent Peel It Back Tour in 2025.[1][2]

On September 15, 2025, it was announced that Nine Inch Noize will perform at Coachella 2026.[3]

Background

According to Boys Noize, he and Trent Reznor had previously worked on a secret project that failed to materialize.[4] In 2024, Reznor asked Ridha to do a remix of the Challengers score, which Reznor had worked on.[4] Ridha turned the music into a continuous dance remix called Challengers (MIXED).[4][2] Subsequently they collaborated on the TRON: Ares soundtrack, with credits given to Boys Noize for "additional production" and co-production on key tracks like the single "As Alive as You Need Me to Be" and "Shadow Over Me."[1][2]

Coachella

On September 15, 2025, when the Coachella 2026 line-up was revealed, it was announced that Nine Inch Noize will make its live debut at the festival and perform an extended set.[3]
