The day is here, Inkcarceration Radio Family!

America’s Rock, Metal, and Tattoo festival Inkcarceration returns to the historic Ohio State Reformatory in Mansfield, Ohio on July 18-20, 2025, featuring 66+ top rock and metal bands across 3 stages, along with 100+ tattoo artists and haunted attractions. Following a record-setting year in 2024 with 75,000 fans in attendance, and four consecutive years of sellouts, 2025 marks the biggest year yet for Inkcarceration.

Friday night at Inkcarceration will feature headliner Falling In Reverse, along with Knocked Loose and Beartooth; Saturday will be headlined by Slipknot, supported by Marilyn Manson and Slaughter To Prevail; and Five Finger Death Punch will headline Sunday, joined by Three Days Grace (with Adam Gontier) and Lamb of God.

We are excited to announce that this year’s festival will feature a new, expanded footprint 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.
