'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,' Reznor said in a statement.
Other artists on the lineup included Danny Elfman, Stranger Things duo Kyle Dixon & Michael Stein, Italian group Goblin, Terence Blanchard, Ben Salisbury & Geoff Barrow, Isobel Waller-Bridge, a performance of Howard Shore's Crash score, and more.
According to the organizers, across three stages at the Los Angeles Equestrian Center, 'Each artist is encouraged to take big swings and reimagine their work for a live audience. Ranging from electronic sets and live bands to orchestral performances, fans have the chance to experience live debuts from composers who rarely appear onstage.'
'There's no headliner. There's no hierarchy. This is a stacked lineup of visionaries doing something you might not see again,' Reznor and Ross added.
