Inkcarceration 2025 Dates Announced

The summer festival circuit for 2024 may nearly be completely in our rear view mirror, but there’s no reason why we can’t start talking about next year’s festivities. Hence why the organizers behind the annual Inkcarceration Music & Tattoo Festival dropped the dates and location for the 2025 edition.

Set to take place for its seventh year at the historic Ohio State Reformatory in Mansfield, Ohio, Inkcarceration 2025 will take place from July 18 to July 20, 2025. As always, the festival will feature a wide lineup of bands, a number of tattoo artists on site to give attendees plenty of ink, and a whole lot of extra shit too.

Seriously, this is one of the premiere metal festivals in North America — and we can say that because we had someone attend this year. But that shouldn’t be a surprise, really, since it’s yet another Danny Wimmer Presents event. Pro tip: when you’re considering if you’ll attend a festival, you should stop wondering and just buy your ticket if Danny Wimmer’s involved.

Though we don’t know at this time who’ll be playing next year’s Inkcarceration, if this year’s was any indication it’s going to be yet another big and badass fest. This year’s iteration, for example, featured some huge bands like Shinedown, Godsmack and Breaking Benjamin, while bands like The Offspring, Halestorm, and even the newly revitalized Chimaira.

For more information about the festival, as well as a list of who’s going to play the 2025 edition, you’re just going to have to wait. In the meantime, be sure to keep coming back to MetalSucks, as we’ll report on the info as soon as it happens.
