The summer is winding down for the hiatus-prepped industrial band Nine Inch Nails and acclaimed rapper Lil Wayne. Both are among the major acts with tours winding down during the week ending September 7, as compiled by TicketNews.

Industrial rock's leading man Trent Reznor is in line for his final four performances with his trailblazing band, Nine Inch Nails. The rock group is booked for a four-night run in Los Angeles from September 2 at the Hollywood Palladium through September 6 at EchoPlex, after which an indefinite hiatus looms large. Reznor has pledged to continue his recording career, but for fans eager to see him perform live -- for what could be the last time -- these are "can't miss" events.

Nine Inch Nails is inching closer to its indefinite hiatus with date and ticket sale confirmations for its three-city Wave Goodbye Tour. Ten concerts have been confirmed for the trek, which opens August 22 at Bowery Ballroom in New York, NY, and closes September 6 at Echoplex in Los Angeles, CA.

As part of the brief farewell jaunt, NIN will perform a total of four nights in New York, spending its additional nights in the city at Webster Hall and Terminal 5. A two-night stand at the Aragon Ballroom in Chicago precedes the band's closing four-night stand in Los Angeles, which also features engagements at Hollywood Palladium, Henry Fonda Theater and the Wiltern Theatre.

Ticket sales for the Tony award-winning "Exit the King" and summer tour partners Nine Inch Nails & Jane's Addiction close over the week ending June 14, as compiled by TicketNews.

After walking away from the 2009 Tony Awards with an award for lead actor Geoffrey Rush, "Exit the King" is heading towards its final eight performances on Broadway, wrapping June 14. The comedic play, which also stars Susan Sarandon, hits the stage at Barrymore Theatre again tonight, June 9, followed by two performances on June 10 and June 13, as well as single engagements on June 11, 12.

Opponents of the proposed merger of Ticketmaster and Live Nation have a powerful new ally in the voice of Trent Reznor, creator of the hugely popular band Nine Inch Nails (NIN), who this week ripped the two companies for what he believes is their plan for hooking up: to begin offering an "auction or market-based pricing scheme" for tickets that could ultimately drive up prices.

In a post on the band's official Web site, Reznor questions the merits of the merger, but he also levels harsh criticism at the secondary ticket market, which he accuses Ticketmaster of profiting from.

Industrial music icon Trent Reznor is keeping true to his word to usher Nine Inch Nails into a touring hiatus after 2009.

In a statement on NIN.com, the musician announced he would end this chapter of his career in the same way it began -- on the road with alternative group Jane's Addiction.
