After weeks of slowly revealing artist on a daily basis, the full lineup for this years Inkcarceration Festival is here! Once again taking over the Ohio State Reformatory grounds in Mansfield, Ohio on July 18-20th, the lineup includes headliners Falling in Reverse, Slipknot and Five Finger Death Punch, along with Knocked Loose, Beartooth, Parkway Drive, I Prevail, Marilyn Manson, Slaughter to Prevail, Dayseeker, Kublai Khan, Three Days Grace 2x (reunion with original vocalist Adam Gontier), Lamb of God, In This Moment, Architects, and more. Following a record-setting year in 2024, and four consecutive years of sellouts, 2025 marks the biggest year for Inkcarceration yet. As one of America's most unique events, this year will be featuring 66+ rock and metal bands across 3 stages, along with 100+ tattoo artists, and haunted attractions. With that, the seventh year of America's rock, metal and tattoo festival is set to be a historic one.
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)!"
Ronnie Radke of Falling In Reverse adds, “I am honored to play side by side with legends like Slipknot, a band that I grew up listening to. See you soon, Ohio!!!”
Inkcarceration will also have an expanded festival footprint for 2025, which means more space, better viewing, and more shade for fans. With the improved festival layout, the historic Ohio State Reformatory will become the iconic backdrop to the main festival stages.
During the festival, Inkcarceration attendees will have the opportunity to get inked at Monster Energy Tattoo X, the onsite tattoo convention hosted inside the world-famous historic prison. In addition, fans can also take self-guided tours of the haunted building and it will be the only time outside the Halloween season that the award-winning "Blood Prison" experience is open to guests.
Architect Levi T. Scofield used a cathedral style when designing the Reformatory which makes it gothic in nature, invoking the feeling of castles. On September 15, 1896, the reformatory opened its doors to its first 150 criminals. Conditions in the prison, mixed with its design, earned the Reformatory its nickname, “Dracula’s Castle”. The East Cell Block is one of the largest free-standing groups of cells in the world and is said to hold the most paranormal activity in the Reformatory. One of the more well-known stories is of Cell 13. It was in that cell an inmate, James Lockhart, covered himself in turpentine, set himself on fire and consequently died. It’s said that he still haunts that cell and his spirit is considered to be the most violent in the prison. Not only is the Ohio State Reformatory haunted, it’s also been used as a filming location in multiple Hollywood films, such as The Shawshank Redemption and Air Force One.
Weekend and Single Day General Admission and VIP passes for America's Rock, Metal and Tattoo Festival are on sale now starting at $1 down (or 10% of the total purchase) on layaway, with more than 6 months to pay off in full.
