Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross have never been “regular” musicians, so it stands to reason that they wouldn’t build a “regular” music festival.
The pair has announced Future Ruins, a new music and arts fest specifically celebrating film and television composers. The festival will take place on Nov. 8 at the Los Angeles Equestrian Center in Los Angeles, CA.
“Future Ruins is a first-of-its-kind music festival: a day-long event where the world’s most influential film and television composers step out from behind the screen and onto the stage,” reads a press release about the fest, via Metal Injection.
“Set across three stages at the Los Angeles Equestrian Center, Future Ruins is designed to feel thoughtful and immersive, bringing this music to light in an environment where it has never been heard before.”
“Every artist is a headliner, each with their own specially curated moment,” the press release adds. “Each artist is encouraged to take big swings and reimagine their work for a live audience. Ranging from electronic sets and live bands to orchestral performances, fans have the chance to experience live debuts from composers who rarely appear onstage.”
“This one-time lineup is not just a music festival — it’s a cinematic ceremony, a deep dive into sound and story, and a historic first for Los Angeles.” Check out the Future Ruins lineup below. Future Ruins tickets are available here.
