In the wake of yesterday's free CD announcement, Trent Reznor's gone ahead and booked a tour that will take Nine Inch Nails to the American Airlines Center on August 18.

Looks like a promising one, too; the opening act on the bill is A Place to Bury Strangers, who we caught and raved about in our SXSW coverage. Tickets to the show--ranging from $29.50 to $54.50 in cost--go on sale at 5 p.m. on Friday. Get 'em at LiveNation.com, ticketmaster.com or by phone at 214-373-8000 and 972-647-5700. --Pete Freedman

Update: Here's a bonus mp3 for those of you too lazy to go ahead and download The Slip from NIN's site:

Nine Inch Nails -- "Echoplex"

Might make you wanna go download the whole thing.
