As of this morning, the post has already reaped over 1,200 likes, 795 shares and comments ranging from “I’ll pay even if it costs me ten grand” to “MY ANUS IS EXPLODING JUST TO KNOW IM GONNA WITNESS THIS IN REALITY”.
Big reactions are to be expected, especially when you recall Nine Inch Nails were supposed to visit Thailand in 2014 to headline the hapless Silverlake Music Festival in Pattaya. The festival, which also billed Foals and The Used, was cancelled due to local political unrest.
