After debuting a massive revamp of the festival grounds in 2021 and welcoming a record- breaking crowd of 75,000 people, Inkcarceration Music & Tattoo Festival aims to make the 2022 edition the biggest one yet. Over the weekend of July 15-17, music fans will converge for three days of nonstop music, tattooing, haunted attractions, and more, all held on the historic grounds of the Ohio State Reformatory (made famous by the movie The Shawshank Redemption) located in Mansfield, Ohio.

The headliners include rock and metal giants KORN, DISTURBED, BREAKING BENJAMIN and EVANESCENCE with the weekend also offering must-see performances from, LAMB OF GOD, PAPA ROACH, SEETHER, FALLING IN REVERSE, THREE DAYS GRACE, I PREVAIL, BLACK LABEL SOCIETY, THEORY OF A DEADMAN, BLACK VEIL BRIDES, JELLY ROLL and many more.

We are thrilled to be playing on the historic and hallowed grounds of the Ohio State Reformatory for our first Inkcarceration. Ohio, Are You Ready?

The event continues the ongoing partnership of America’s largest independent festival producer Danny Wimmer Presents and the creators of Inkcarceration, who together produce an event like no other. Passes for the 2021 event sold out in the first week, marking the fastest sellout in the festival’s history, so fans are encouraged to buy early for 2022 to reserve their spot for one of the most anticipated events of the summer.

The 2022 edition will be, by far, our most ambitious year yet. The partnership with the Danny Wimmer Presents team has really enhanced all aspects of the festival and fan experience. Seeing the excitement this event continues to bring to this state and city of Mansfield, along with the fan support from all over the country, makes me so proud to call Ohio my home.
