According to recent announcements, it looks like Industrial-rockers Nine Inch Nails will be stepping in for the Foo Fighters after their cancelations at the Welcome To Rockville fest on Sunday, May 22, as well as the Boston Calling Music Festival on May 27.

So far, no updates to itineraries have been announced by Beale Street Music Festival, New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival, Osheaga Music and Arts Festival, or Aftershock Festival appearance – nor any of the Foo Fighters' numerous overseas festivals. Follow along for updated festival news HERE.

These new shows are, of course, on top of NIN's current tour, set to kick off in North Carolina on April 30. It all wraps with a very special concert in singer Trent Reznor's hometown of Cleveland, OH this September with Chicago's Heavy Metal machine heads MINISTRY, as well as British EBM pioneers Nitzer Ebb also performing.
