After weeks of teasing the lineup for this year’s InkCarceration Festival, the organizers at Danny Wimmer Presents have officially unveiled the full roster of performers. This exciting festival will take place from July 18-20 at the historic Ohio State Reformatory grounds in Mansfield, Ohio. The festival will feature headlining acts including Falling in Reverse, Slipknot, and Five Finger Death Punch, promising an unforgettable experience for rock and metal fans.

Fans can look forward to an impressive lineup of over 66 bands performing across three stages, alongside more than 100 tattoo artists on-site for those wishing to enhance their body art. This unique combination of music and tattoo culture sets the stage for a vibrant celebration of creativity and self-expression.

Clown, the iconic member of Slipknot, expressed his excitement saying, ?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)!” This highlights the rarity of the band’s performances and the significance of this festival.

Ronnie Radke of Falling In Reverse added, ?I am honored to play side by side with legends like Slipknot, a band that I grew up listening to. See you soon, Ohio!!!? His words reflect the camaraderie and respect among artists within the rock community, making for an electrifying atmosphere.

“The fan experience at InkCarceration is the top priority every year,” stated Dan Janssen, co-founder and General Manager of the festival. “We did extensive work on the infrastructure after last year?s event, such as adding more space, shade, and a larger viewing area, which was essential as this festival continues to grow. We couldn?t be more thrilled to unveil these improvements to the fans in 2025.? This commitment to enhancing the festival experience shows how dedicated the organizers are to their audience.
