В края на миналата година Trent Reznor обеща в Twitter, че 2016 ще донесе нова музика от култовите NIN. И на шеговито подмятане в Instagram само преди два месеца защо 
още нищо ново не сме чули, Trent бе съвсем кратък: “2016 is not over yet”. И ето, на 23-ти декември излиза ново EP с 5 нови песни “Not the Actual Events“. В записите участва и Atticus Ross, участник в много от проектите на Reznor – How to Destroy Angels, Tapeworm и съучастник във филмовите му проекти, който вече е официален член на групата.
Not the Actual Events Track List:
1. “Branches/Bones”
2. “Dear World,”
3. “She’s Gone Away”
4. “The Idea of You”
5. “Burning Bright (Field on Fire)”
С това новините около групата не свършват: готви се лимитирана серия винили с “definitive editions” на класиките Broken, The Downward Spiral, и The Fragile
The Fragile: Deviations 1 съдържа 37 инструментала, алтернативни версии и неиздавани записи.
