Nine Inch Nails Debut Tron: Ares Songs Live at Hollywood Premiere

The set capped a coordinated rollout that ties the standalone soundtrack to the film's Oct. 10 opening.

Overview

  • Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross performed outside the TCL Chinese Theatre in Hollywood during the Oct. 6 world premiere, giving the soundtrack its first live airing.
  • The four-song set included “As Alive as You Need Me to Be,” the live debuts of “Forked Reality” and “Shadow Over Me,” and “The Warning” from 2007’s Year Zero.
  • Boys Noize joined onstage in the Nine Inch Noize configuration, reflecting his co‑production role and a planned collaborative set at Coachella in 2026.
  • The Tron: Ares soundtrack is available now following its Sept. 19 release, with the film opening in theaters on Oct. 10.
  • This score is the first film project formally credited to Nine Inch Nails rather than to Reznor and Ross as individual composers.
