May 14, 2025

Award-winning composers, musicians, and longtime collaborators Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross are putting together a lineup of some of the world’s most influential film and television composers for a one-day concert full of homages for film score lovers.

The Future Ruins Festival, happening on Saturday, Nov. 8, at the Los Angeles Equestrian Center, will allow composers including Danny Elfman, John Carpenter, Questlove and more to reimagine their work for a live audience. The event will feature electronic sets, live bands and orchestral performances, allowing fans of musical compositions to experience the live debuts of composers who rarely appear onstage.

“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,” said Reznor in a press statement.

Tickets for the festival go on sale at 10 a.m. on Wednesday, May 21, via futureruins.com.
