Nine Inch Nails have announced their own festival, hosting Future Ruins in Los Angeles this November.
Singer and composer Trent Reznor teased the event in an interview with GQ last year, where he revealed that the industrial music icons were “excited about starting on” a new album, plotting a “cooler” tour, starting their own music festival, and collaborating with Epic Games, The Bear creator Christopher Storer, and director Mike Flanagan.
On the festival, he added: “We’re going to debut as performing as composers along with a roster of other interesting people.”
That’s exactly what happened. Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross, known for their film compositions for The Social Network and Gone Girl, will perform alongside film and television composers.
Also appearing at the festival are legendary horror composer John Carpenter, Hildur Guðnadóttir (Tár, Joker), The Nightmare Before Christmas’s Danny Elfman, Questlove performing the score works of Curtis Mayfield, Ben Salisbury & Geoff Barrow (Annilation, Ex Machina), David Cronenberg performing Howard Shore’s Crash score, Claudio Simonetti’s Goblin (Suspiria, Dawn Of The Dead), and many more. You can check out the full line-up below.
Future Ruins will take place at the Equestrian Centre, Los Angeles, on Saturday, 8 November. The festival will comprise three stages, and, according to Ross, will go ahead with “no headliner“. Tickets will be available via the Future Ruins website on Wednesday, 21 May.

Reznor said of the festival (via Pitchfork), “It’s about giving people who are, literally, the best in the world at taking audiences on an emotional ride via music the opportunity to tell new stories in an interesting live setting.
“There’s no headliner. There’s no hierarchy. This is a stacked lineup of visionaries doing something you might not see again.”
Nine Inch Nails announced tour dates for 2025 earlier this year, despite Reznor previously commenting that the band had no plans to tour. The group last toured Australia in March 2014.
