Inkcarceration Festival 2025

From July 18–20, 2025, the Inkcarceration Festival returns to the haunting and iconic grounds of the Ohio State Reformatory in Mansfield, OH — famously featured in The Shawshank Redemption. This three-day celebration of heavy music, tattoos, and alternative culture is one of the most unique festivals in the U.S., offering an intense experience in a chillingly atmospheric setting.

The 2025 edition features Falling In Reverse, Slipknot, and Five Finger Death Punch as headliners, supported by a stacked lineup of metal, hardcore, and rock acts that span generations and subgenres.
