Trent Reznor says it took mere seconds for him to agree to a joint New Zealand tour involving Nine Inch Nails and Queens of the Stone Age.
The rockers are due to perform together in Christchurch and Auckland in March, with the headlining act each night to be decided bythe toss of a coin.
Reznor said the idea for a joint tour started with a simple message from Queens front man Josh Homme.
"Around the time we said we weren't doing (Australian metal festival) Soundwave, he sent me a message saying we should go down there together and I thought, 'I'm in'," Reznor told TimeOut.
"I think the idea of playing with him (and) sharing the bill was wildly exciting. They're one of my favourite bands in the world. I'm just looking forward to seeing them play every night."
Reznor said the new-look Nails were still decided on what kind of setlist of songs they'd be bringing to New Zealand.
"(Recent shows) have been greatest hits-ish/aggressive-ish. We're in the middle of a tour in the US that has quite a different flavour - a lot of familiar songs and a lot of new album stuff and it's more of a challenging, fan-driven set.
