Nine Inch Nails and Soundgarden found themselves without an opening act for their double-headline billing after Death Grips, the experimental hip-hop act originally slated to perform, randomly broke up a few weeks back. Trent Reznor, probably the organizing force behind this whole endeavor lamented believing that the group could keep it together for a whole tour, but has acted quickly to supply it with a series of new acts, each handling roughly a third of the dates.

The first leg will be manned by Oneohtrix Point Never, the alias for experimental electronic performer Daniel Lopatin. The second leg will be handled by spastic hardcore/"mathcore" band the Dilligner Escape Plan, and the last leg will take another dramatic change of direction/pace when the darkwave synth band Cold Cave handles the final spate of shows.

Check out the updated dates below. One asterisk represents Oneohtrix Point Never, two Dillinger Escape Plan and three for Cold Cave.
