Inkcarceration Music & Tattoo Festival 2025: Full Lineup, Dates, and Highlights Revealed

The Inkcarceration Music & Tattoo Festival is returning in 2025 with its most ambitious event yet, promising an unforgettable weekend of music, art, and culture at the historic Ohio State Reformatory in Mansfield, OH. Scheduled for July 18th-20th, this year’s festival features a massive lineup of over 66 bands spread across three electrifying stages, with headline acts Falling In Reverse, Slipknot, and Five Finger Death Punch leading the charge.

A Star-Studded Lineup with Something for Every Rock Fan

The festival kicks off Friday night with Falling In Reverse headlining the main stage, supported by the hard-hitting Knocked Loose and Ohio’s own Beartooth. On Saturday, Slipknot takes center stage for what promises to be a blistering performance, alongside Marilyn Manson and Slaughter to Prevail. The weekend wraps up on Sunday with Five Finger Death Punch delivering a grand finale, joined by Three Days Grace and groove metal icons Lamb of God.

In addition to the headliners, Inkcarceration 2025 boasts an impressive array of talent spanning various subgenres of rock and metal. Notable acts include Killswitch Engage, Architects, In This Moment, The Amity Affliction, Kublai Khan TX, Alpha Wolf, and DRAIN. Fans of nostalgia will be thrilled to witness reunion sets from Acid Bath, The Dillinger Escape Plan, Chiodos, Dry Kill Logic, and Snot, who recently announced a new vocalist.

A Festival on the Rise

Inkcarceration has rapidly grown into one of the most celebrated festivals in the U.S., thanks to its unique combination of music, tattoos, and history. The 2024 edition broke records, drawing over 75,000 attendees and achieving its fourth consecutive sell-out. With the 2025 lineup already creating buzz, the festival is poised to raise the bar even higher.

Festival co-founder and Slipknot percussionist Shawn “Clown” Crahan expressed his excitement about the upcoming event:
“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 shared similar enthusiasm:
“I am honored to play side by side with legends like Slipknot, a band that I grew up listening to. See you soon, Ohio!!!”
