Nine Inch Nails officially began promoting the Future Ruins . The band, which currently only has Trent Reznor (vocalist and songwriter) and Atticus Ross (keyboardist and producer) as permanent members, currently has a series of projects that include music, but also fashion, film production, artist management and promotion.
With Teeth in March 2024 , a production and record label that serves as the base for releasing these projects. With Teeth is also the name of Nine Inch Nails' fourth studio album, released in 2005 and featuring Dave Grohl on drums.
What is Future Ruins and what will it be like?
The band's new plans were first revealed in an interview with GQ in April 2024. And, innovative in its concept and programming, the event already has an official website and profiles on social media such as Instagram , in addition to having already announced the entire lineup.
The festival will be a full day of performances where the world's most influential film and television composers step out from behind the screen and onto the stage.
As described on the official website, the event will take place on November 8th and will be set across three stages at the Los Angeles Equestrian Center. Future Ruins is designed to be reflective and immersive, bringing this music to the forefront in an environment never before heard. Each artist is the main attraction, each with their own special moment. Each artist is encouraged to take big leaps and reimagine their work for a live audience. Not only electronic sets and live bands, but also orchestral performances, fans have the chance to experience live debuts from composers who rarely appear on stage.
With the slogan "The music tells the story," the program is not just a music festival, it's a cinematic ceremony. A deep dive into sound and history, and a historic premiere for Los Angeles.

The festival features names like Juan Cristóbal Tapia de Veer , producer of the soundtrack for the series White Lotus, and Danny Elfman , a legend of film and television soundtracks. He is a member of the band Oingo Boingo and the creator of soundtracks for films such as Batman and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Also featured is the legendary John Carpenter, filmmaker and producer of soundtracks for his films, among the best known being the Michael Myers saga and Halloween.
The Nine Inch Nails tour
Despite always having new material, NIN hasn't released any new albums since 2020 when Ghosts V: Together and Ghosts VI: Locusts . The new Peel It Back tour was supposed to debut in 2024, but the ongoing wildfires in Los Angeles put it on hold. Rescheduled for 2025, the tour begins on June 15th in Dublin, Ireland. It then continues with several dates in Europe and returns to the United States in August, with confirmed shows until September 19th.
Peel it back alludes to the song "March Of The Pigs," the band's biggest classic and a track from their 1994 album, The Download Spiral
