The Inkcarceration Music & Tattoo Festival is set to return to the historic Ohio State Reformatory in Mansfield, Ohio, from July 18-20, 2025. This one-of-a-kind event will showcase over 66 top rock and metal bands performing across three stages, along with more than 100 tattoo artists and thrilling haunted attractions.
Friday night at Inkcarceration will showcase FALLING IN REVERSE as the headliner, supported by KNOCKED LOOSE and BEARTOOTH. On Saturday, SLIPKNOT will take the spotlight, joined by MARILYN MANSON and SLAUGHTER TO PREVAIL. Closing out the festival on Sunday, FIVE FINGER DEATH PUNCH will headline, with THREE DAYS GRACE (featuring Adam Gontier) and LAMB OF GOD also taking the stage.
Clown of SLIPKNOT said: “SLIPKNOT is playing very few shows in the U.S. this year, so this will be special. It will be good to be back with our friends, family, and culture at the Inkcarceration Music & Tattoo Festival. Stay safe! Stay (sic)!”
FALLING IN REVERSE‘s Ronnie Radke said: “I am honored to play side by side with legends like SLIPKNOT, a band that I grew up listening to. See you soon, Ohio!!!”
“The fan experience at Inkcarceration is the top priority every year,” added Dan Janssen, co-founder and GM of Inkcarceration. “We did a lot of work on the infrastructure after last year’s event, such as adding space, more shade and a larger viewing area, an expansion that was imperative as this festival continues to grow. We could not be more excited to unveil it to the fans in 2025.
