“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,” explained Reznor 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,” added Reznor and Ross.
Alongside Reznor and Ross, the lineup features such composing luminaries as John Carpenter, Danny Elfman, Claudio Simonetti’s Goblin, Mark Mothersbaugh, Hildur Guðnadóttir, Kyle Dixon & Michael Stein, Ben Salisbury & Geoff Barrow, Questlove, Isobel Waller-Bridge, Terence Blanchard, and more.
Tickets to Future Ruins 2025, including GA and VIP passes, will go on sale beginning Wednesday, May 21st at 12:00 p.m. local time via the festival’s website.
