The Inkcarceration Music & Tattoo Festival is coming back for another unforgettable year at the historic Ohio State Reformatory in Mansfield, Ohio. Mark your calendars for July 18-20, 2025, as this unique festival returns for its seventh annual edition, blending hard-hitting music, creative tattoo artistry, and haunted attractions—all in the shadow of a legendary prison.
A Record-Breaking Legacy
Last year’s Inkcarceration saw a record-breaking turnout, with 75,000 fans filling the grounds for three electrifying days of rock and metal. Organized by Danny Wimmer Presents, the 2024 edition featured headliners Shinedown, Godsmack, and Breaking Benjamin, with additional performances by The Offspring, Halestorm, Parkway Drive, and more. With such a stacked lineup, it’s no surprise that Inkcarceration has quickly become one of the most anticipated events in the rock and tattoo community.
Festival organizers are promising another incredible experience for 2025, hinting at big surprises and unforgettable moments for those who return to the Reformatory. And with the presale passes just around the corner, fans are eager to see who will grace the stage for this upcoming edition.
