Inkcarceration is coming back to Mansfield, Ohio in 2026 with another stacked lineup and the same one of a kind setting that makes it feel less like a festival and more like a heavy music theme park.
Inkcarceration 2026 is locked in for July 17 to 19, 2026, once again taking over the Ohio State Reformatory (yes, the Shawshank prison). The weekend will feature 65+ bands across three stages, plus 100+ tattoo artists, haunted attractions, and tours through the historic site.
This year’s headliners are split across three days:
Friday, July 17: Disturbed, Papa Roach, Cypress Hill, Hollywood Undead
Saturday, July 18: Bad Omens, Gojira, The Used, Sleeping with Sirens
Sunday, July 19: Limp Bizkit, A Day To Remember, Motionless In White, Ice Nine Kills
Ice Nine Kills frontman Spencer Charnas leaned into the festival’s Shawshank connection in a statement: “Tim Robbins says in The Shawshank Redemption, ‘get busy living, or get busy dying,’ and we’re thrilled to share our songs of living and dying when INK descends on INKcarceration,” he said.
Tech N9ne also commented on joining the bill: “I was SUPER excited when I got the word I was playing at Inkcarceration Festival because I’ve always seemed to be touring around it with artists who’ve played there frequently,” adding, “Honored to be part of such a huge festival.”
Danny Wimmer Presents founder Danny Wimmer highlighted a few key bookings: “We’re fired up to welcome Limp Bizkit back to Inkcarceration… Having Bad Omens headlining a DWP festival for the first time brings a whole new level of energy to the weekend, and adding Disturbed to this lineup makes it an absolute powerhouse for our fans,” he said.
