Yes, that’s right – you can now here Nine Inch Nails on a Disney attraction
Next year, one of Disney’s most beloved attractions is getting a reboot. The Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster Starring Aerosmith opened in July of 1999. In 2001 – just two years after the attraction launched – Aerosmith were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. That same year, Disney opened another Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster at Disneyland Paris in France. The attraction closed in 2019 and was replaced with Avengers Assemble: Flight Force, as part of the all-new Avengers Campus.
With the band officially done touring, Disney Parks thought it seemed like the optimal time to re-brand the ride for a new generation of young fans. Last November, the company confirmed plans to re-brand the iconic attraction with a Muppets theme, centered around the fictitious band Dr. Teeth and the Electric Mayhem. While you can still ride to a concert with Aerosmith through 2026, rock music fans already have something new in Disney World to be stoked about.
The theme park juggernaut recently added another Rock and Roll Hall of Fame act to an attraction. The Tron Lightcycle at the Magic Kingdom in Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida has added music from the upcoming Tron: Ares soundtrack by Nine Inch Nails.

Starring Thirty Seconds to Mars frontman and Oscar winner Jared Leto, Tron: Ares arrives in theaters on October 10. Nine Inch Nails performed the soundtrack for the film, which was written by the band’s Academy Award-winning duo of Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross. The soundtrack is available for pre-order now on cassette, CD, limited edition CD, standard black vinyl, and limited edition red and gray vinyl.
Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross are multiple Academy Award and Grammy-winning composers, producers, and longtime collaborators known for their emotionally charged and genre-defying film and television scores. Their work includes acclaimed projects such as The Social Network, Gone Girl, Watchmen, Soul, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, and most recently, Luca Guadagnino’s Challengers.
On Saturday, November 8, the first-ever edition of Future Ruins arrives in Los Angeles. The one-day music festival celebrating the visionary composers shaping the sound of modern cinema and television. Created and curated by Academy Award-winning artists Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross and presented by Live Nation, the festival features live performances from groundbreaking artists across three stages — with select sets accompanied by full orchestra. Taking place on November 8, 2025, at the Los Angeles Equestrian Center, Future Ruins invites audiences to experience iconic scores not as background, but as the main event. The music tells the story.
“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,” says Reznor.
Set across three stages at the Los Angeles Equestrian Center, Future Ruins is designed to feel thoughtful and immersive, bringing this music to light in an environment where it has never been heard before. Every artist is a headliner, each with their own specially curated moment. 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,” says Reznor and Ross.
This one-time line up is not just a music festival — it’s a cinematic ceremony, a deep dive into sound and story, and a historic first for Los Angeles.
Nine Inch Nails are currently in the midst of their massive Peel It Back World Tour. The trek launched on 15 June at 3Arena in Dublin, Ireland. The run will see the group play shows across Europe, the UK, and North America. In addition to individual tour dates, the band is also set to headline Graspop Metal Meeting in Belgium, Mad Cool in Spain, and more.
The band’s 2022 world tour, which included a mixture of headline shows and festival headlining slots, earned stellar reviews. Revisit our coverage from The Met in Philadelphia HERE.
Nine Inch Nails are undoubtedly one of the greatest artists of all time. Pioneers of the industrial genre, they incorporated elements of rock, metal, electronica, and alternative rock to forge a style all their own. They shook the music world to it’s core in 1989 with their debut album, Pretty Hate Machine. The record was truly groundbreaking, and has since gone on to be certified multi-platinum. In 1994, NIN set the bar once again with their sophomore effort, The Downward Spiral, which debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard Top 200. The disc went on to sell over 5 million copies, and be certified quadruple-platinum. It spawned arguably the band’s finest moment, the single “Closer.”
Throughout their career, Nine Inch Nails has sold over 30 million records worldwide.
