Nine Inch Nails concert chronology

Fragility Tour was a concert tour in support of industrial rock act Nine Inch Nails' The Fragile album, which took place in late 1999, running until mid-2000, and was broken into two major legs, Fragility v1.0 and Fragility v2.0 respectively. Destinations included Europe, Japan, New Zealand, Australia, and North America.[1]

The tour featured increasingly large production values, including a triptych video display created by contemporary video artist Bill Viola.[2] The images displayed on the triptych focused on storm and water imagery. Rolling Stone magazine named Fragility v2.0 the best tour of 2000.[3]

The Fragility v2.0 North American leg was filmed and recorded for the live album and double DVD tour documentary And All that Could Have Been, which was released in 2002.

On May 20, 2000, Nine Inch Nails performed their 500th gig (in count) at the Lakewood Amphitheater in Atlanta, Georgia.[4]
