The cancellation comes dueโข to “a number of logistical challenges and complications,” accordingโ to a statement posted on the event’s โคTwitter feed.Organizers stated โthey felt unable to โdeliver the experience they โhad envisioned and chose โto โpostpone rather than compromise on โขquality.
The festival was โฃto feature a lineup of prominent film-music composers including John Carpenter, Questlove (performing โthe soundtrack work of Curtis Mayfield), Danny โขElfman, Mark Mothersbaugh, and Hildur Guรฐnadรณttir. Presented by Live Nation, ‘Future Ruins’ aimed to be “a first-of-its-kind music festival: a day-long event where the world’sโ most influential film and television composers step โout from behind โthe screen and โฃonto the stage.”
Reznor,inโ the initial announcement,described the festival as an prospect for composers “to tell new stories in an engaging live setting,” โฃadding that “Every โartist is a headliner,each โwith their own โspecially curatedโ moment.”โ Theโ event was designed with three stages, encouraging artists toโฃ “take big swings โandโค reimagine their โฃwork for aโข live audience.”
Organizers apologized for any inconvenience causedโค by the โคcancellation andโข expressed appreciation for the interest and support received. A link to further detailsโค about the festival’s planned lineup can be โfound here.
