Boys Noize, announced as the opening artist for the entire NINE INCH NAILS’

Today, BOYS NOIZE, the artist-producer is announced as the opening artist for the entire NINE INCH NAILS’ Peel It Back World Tour.

BOYS NOIZE (Alex Ridha), Trent Reznor, and Atticus Ross previously worked together on Challengers [MIXED], as Ridha had reworked and remixed the original score by Reznor and Ross for Luca Guadagnino's Challengers movie OST.

The NINE INCH NAILS’ Peel It Back World Tour kicks off in Europe in June and will move on to North America in August. All tour dates are listed below, and tickets are now available here.

More on BOYS NOIZE:

BOYS NOIZE (Alex Ridha) builds worlds, then builds bridges between them. Propelled by an infatuation with sonic invention and a prescience for culture, the German-Iraqi artist, DJ, and producer has developed a peerless practice that is deeply informed by electronic music history but always pushes beyond convention.

As an international headliner and A-list producer BOYS NOIZE embodies the transformation and expansion of 21st century techno, house and electro into a massive global phenomenon. Yet as a Berliner and lifelong DJ, he remains dedicated to the underground, tearing through subcultural scenes large and small as he experiments with aliases across genres.

Despite his uncompromising taste, BOYS NOIZE is far from a gatekeeper. Instead, he opens portals for others to enter his world through his productions for AAP ROCKY, LADY GAGA, and FRANK OCEAN, his film score work with TRENT REZNOR and ATTICUS ROSS for CHALLENGERS and OLVER STONE’S SNOWDEN, his collaborations with SKRILLEX, KELSEY LU, PUSSY RIOT, SHYGIRL, RICO NASTY, VTSS, TOMMY CASH and CHILLY GONZALES, his EP and OFF WHITE capsule collection with the late VIRGIL ABLOH, his remixes for DAFT PUNK, AG COOK, YEAH YEAH YEAHS, SOPHIE and DEPECHE MODE.

As temperatures and tempos rise, so does BOYS NOIZE’s output. He’s been on a tear of 140 bpm techno tracks and remixes, including festival rippers “FCKVRND”, “STEADY PACE” with VTSS, “FINE DAY ANTHEM” with SKRILLEX, and three new singles ready to blast off in 2025.

Still, BOYS NOIZE remains fiercely independent, intimately involved in supporting the culture that brought him his success. After many years self-releasing on BOYSNOIZE RECORDS, Ridha is launching an expansive concept label that reflects new modes of creative and subcultural circulation. Integrating music, objects, and a pluralistic network of artists and scenes against the trend of aesthetic universalization and refinement, ONES and ZEROS (OAZ) debuted with a 22-track compilation as well as limited-run jewellery designed by ALLIGATOR JESUS and ERIC TIMOTHY CARLSON on February 21.

Like the dialogue between DJ and dancefloor, Ridha’s practice is ultimately one of active creation and conversation across boundaries. BOYS NOIZE is many things—legendary electro DJ, GRAMMY-winning pop producer, breakout film composer, leading figure of the new techno zeitgeist—but no one of them personifies him. Instead, BOYS NOIZE can be found in the connections between and beyond, a network of energy, principles, and taste always reaching towards what is to come.
