Future Ruins (also known as the Future Ruins Festival) was a cancelled one-day music and arts festival organized by composers and performers Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross through their special-purpose entity Future Remains. Scheduled to be held in November 2025 at the Los Angeles Equestrian Center, the event was to focus on film and television composers along with performed sets of electronic music.[1]
Reznor and Ross began working together on film scores in 2010 with David Fincher's film The Social Network. The collaboration spanned several film and TV show soundtracks.
Future Ruins was first mentioned as a teaser without a name to upcoming ventures under Reznor's and Ross' band Nine Inch Nails in a GQ interview in April 2024.[2] Without a name this left fans speculating on what the ventures would be under vague descriptions as Reznor had mentioned which were film productions, a collaboration with Epic Games, and fashion.[3] Fans continued on how the band had been teasing a music festival since the release of their album Ghosts I–IV in 2008.[4]
The event was cancelled on October 3, 2025.[5]
Future Ruins was first announced on May 13, 2025, via Instagram,[6] and its official website launched on May 15, 2025.[7] The festival described itself as an immersive event with three stages that fans can travel through,[8] and promoted as in a once in a lifetime experience and is the first of its kind to occur in Los Angeles. The event puts emphasis on the non-typical structure of hierarchy of artists and each set will be encompassed as its own event, as Reznor states: "Every artist is a headliner, each with their own specially curated moment."[9][10][11]
Reznor wanted to allow the invited artists "to come out and feel the adrenaline rush and wave of inspiration from playing in front of a live audience. 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.”[9]
As a part of the lineup, the concert is promoted to have the following composers.[12][13] There are no headliners.
