Nine Inch Nails duo Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross have announced their plans for a new music festival dedicated to showcasing some of the film world's most acclaimed soundtrack composers.

Booked into the Los Angeles Equestrian Center for November 8, the bill for the inaugural Future Ruins festival will see Reznor and Ross, John Carpenter, Danny Elfman, Joker composer Hildur Guðnadóttir, Italian progressive rock legends Goblin, British TV and film composers Ben Salisbury and Geoff Barrow (Portishead) and more performing across three stages, many of those on the line-up performing their scores live for the very first time.

“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,” Trent Reznor says in a statement.

“There’s no headliner. There’s no hierarchy. This is a stacked lineup of visionaries doing something you might not see again.”
