The Outside Tour, with David Bowie and Nine Inch Nails co-headlining, opened on 14 September 1995 at Meadows Music Theatre - Hartford, CT with Prick as support band. On selected dates Reeves Gabrels performed songs from his album, The Sacred Squall of Now in addition to performing with Nine Inch Nails and David Bowie. The opening of the concert tour preceded the release of the 1. Outside album which was released on 25 September 1995.

As Nine Inch Nails reached the conclusion of their performance, and as the stage-crew commenced working behind a large backdrop preparing for Bowie's performance, the band continued with David Bowie performing "Subterraneans", "Warszawa", "Hallo Spaceboy" and "Scary Monsters (and Super Creeps)", followed by two Nine Inch Nails songs "Reptile" and "Hurt" after which Bowie continued with his own set.

For the European leg of the tour, Morrissey was enlisted to provide support until his disappearance before the Aberdeen Exhibition Centre performance on 29 November 1995[1]. The support slot was filled on later dates by The Gyres, Echobelly and a variety of local bands.

The 13 December 1995 performance at the National Exhibition Centre (Hall 5) - Birmingham, England, billed as the Big Twix Mix Show with Alanis Morissette and the Lightning Seeds supporting was filmed by BBC TV with excerpts broadcast at a later date.
