Nine Inch Nails’ Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross will spotlight their fellow film and TV composers and also perform at the first Future Ruins festival, which will be held Nov. 8 at the Los Angeles Equestrian Center. “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,” Reznor says of the event.

Reznor and Ross will also perform material from their numerous award-winning scores, including The Social Network, Soul, Challengers, Watchmen and Gone Girl. Tickets go on sale May 21.
“There’s no headliner. There’s no hierarchy. This is a stacked lineup of visionaries doing something you might not see again,” Reznor and Ross say.
Meanwhile, Nine Inch Nails’ first tour in three years will get underway June 15 in Dublin and run through Sept. 18 in Los Angeles. Reznor and Ross are also following in the footsteps of electronic music legends Wendy Carlos and Daft Punk by scoring the third film in the Tron franchise, Tron: Ares, which will be released Oct. 10.
