Get your sleeves ready: the 2026 edition of the Inkcarceration Music & Tattoo festival has just been announced, and this year they’ve got headlining appearances from Bad Omens, Limp Bizkit and Disturbed.
The lineup to the annual festival was announced today (January 15th), with it being confirmed that their 2026 edition will be bringing more than 65 bands to the historic Ohio State Reformatory grounds in Mansfield, Ohio between July 17-19.
The first night of festivities bring nu-vets Disturbed to the top of the bill, while other main stage acts include Papa Roach, Hollywood Undead and rappers Cypress Hill.
For Saturday (July 18th), Noah Sebastian and Bad Omens will be headlining, but other big-time performances will be delivered by Gojira, the Used and Sleeping with Sirens — the latter set to celebrate the 15th anniversary of Let’s Cheers to This.
The final day of Inkcarceration finds Limp Bizkit closing things out, while Ice Nine Kills, A Day to Remember and Motionless in White will also be on-hand to bring the heavy.
Throughout the weekend, music fans can also peep performances from a bevy of veteran and rising talent, including: Lorna Shore, Poppy, Starset, Machine Head, Tech N9ne, Jinjer, Hatebreed, Sleep Theory, Fit For A King, Memphis May Fire, Jutes, Dying Wish, Sanguisugabogg, Lacuna Coil, Escape The Fate, Alien Ant Farm, PeelingFlesh, TechN9ne, Spite, Norma Jean, Silent Planet and many more.
The weekend also features reunion sets from Rev Theory, Get Scared and the Crimson Armada, while Alien Ant Farm will be performing a 25th anniversary set behind their ANThology.
More than 100 tattoo artists will also be on-site for Inkcarceration, while press materials add that the fest will also be offering “haunted attractions and tours of the prison made famous in The Shawshank Redemption.”
“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,” Ice Nine vocalist and mega-cinephile Spencer Charnas added in a statement.
