Future Ruins Music Festival Cancelled Weeks Before Debut
4 Oct, 2025
Summary
- Future Ruins Festival, run by Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross, cancelled
- Scheduled for November 8 in Los Angeles
- Lineup included Devo's Mark Mothersbaugh, John Carpenter, Hildur Guðnadóttir
In a surprising turn of events, the highly anticipated Future Ruins Festival has been cancelled just a month before its scheduled debut on November 8 in Los Angeles. The festival, which was set to be run by the Oscar-winning duo of Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross, announced the cancellation on Friday.
According to the organizers, the decision to cancel the event was due to "a number of logistical challenges and complications" that prevented them from providing the "experience that's defined what this event was always intended to be." Rather than compromise, the festival's team has chosen to "re-think and re-evaluate" the event.
The Future Ruins lineup was set to feature an impressive array of musical talent, including Devo singer and Wes Anderson composer Mark Mothersbaugh, horror director and composer John Carpenter, Oscar-winning Joker composer Hildur Guðnadóttir, and Questlove performing the film scores of Curtis Mayfield. Other artists on the roster included Danny Elfman, Stranger Things composers Kyle Dixon and Michael Stein, and more.
