After weeks of leaking some of the performers on this year’s InkCarceration Festival, organizers Danny Wimmer Presents have now revealed the full bill that includes headliners Falling in Reverse, Slipknot and Five Finger Death Punch taking over the Ohio State Reformatory grounds in Mansfield, Ohio July 18-20.
In total, there will be over 66 bands playing three stages and over 100 tattoo artists in attendance should fans want to add to their body art.
Clown of Slipknot said, “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 adds, “I am honored to play side by side with legends like Slipknot, a band that I grew up listening to. See you soon, Ohio!!!”
“The fan experience at InkCarceration is the top priority every year,” adds Dan Janssen, the co-founder and GM of InkCarceration. “We did a lot of work on the infrastructure after last year’s event, such as adding space, more shade and a larger viewing area, an expansion that was imperative as this festival continues to grow. We could not be more excited to unveil it to the fans in 2025.”
