Regretfully, the inaugural “Future Ruins” festival has collapsed, as reported by theprp. That ultimately doomed event was the brainchild of Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross of Nine Inch Nails. The aforementioned duo would have performed songs from their award-winning film scoring and composition careers at the event, which was designed to honor the live scoring work of numerous composers in TV and movies. Several other well-known composers, such as John Carpenter and Danny Elfman, had also been scheduled for the occasion. But just over a month before its scheduled debut, the event that was originally scheduled for November 8th at the Equestrian Center in Los Angeles, California, has been canceled.
Unfortunately Future Ruins will not move forward this year. The reality is, due to a number of logistical challenges and complications, we feel we cannot provide the experience that’s defined what this event was always intended to be. Rather than compromise, we’re choosing to re-think and re-evaluate. Meanwhile, we are sorry for any inconvenience and appreciate all the interest and support. Refunds will be automatically issued and ticket holders will receive an email with more information.
