Reznor has indicated that their experiences in film scoring have inspired them to work on new material for Nine Inch Nails, signaling a return to their band projects.

Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross have announced the inaugural Future Ruins Festival, which will celebrate film music through live performances by top composers.

The festival, which features a diverse lineup without a designated headliner, allows each artist to creatively reimagine their work for audiences.

Teased on social media on May 13, 2025, the festival has generated excitement, with tickets going on sale on May 21, 2025, at 12 p.m. PT.

Attendees can expect a variety of food choices and amenities, including vegan, vegetarian, and gluten-free options, alongside secure lockers and merchandise vendors.

Notably, there are currently no plans for livestreams or digital editions of the performances, making in-person attendance essential.

Additionally, Nine Inch Nails are planning a tour with Boyz Noize, further expanding their engagement with fans.

The band is also set to perform at the NOS Alive festival on July 12, 2025, in Algés, Portugal.

Live Nation has launched a $30 Ticket to Summer promotion starting May 21, 2025, allowing access to over 1,000 concerts across the country.

In related news, Nine Inch Nails is working on new material, their first since the 2020 release of 'Ghosts V-VI', and will begin their Peel It Back Tour on June 15, 2025.

Reznor and Ross are currently involved in scoring the upcoming films 'Tron: Ares' and 'After the Hunt', both set for release in October 2025.

VIP tickets for the festival offer additional perks such as fast lane entry, exclusive gift bags, and access to a lounge area with complimentary food and beverages.
