Inkcarceration fans by Steve Thrasher
Inkcarceration has announced the long-awaited dates for the 2027 festival following a massive sold-out 2026 event. The tattoo and music festival hosted a sold-out weekend of over 90,000 music lovers and art enthusiasts this past year, with a lineup of over 65 bands across three stages. Inkcarceration will be returning the weekend of July 16-18, 2027 at the Ohio State Reformatory in Mansfield, Ohio.
Subscriber presale begins Friday, August 21, at 12 p.m. ET with sign-ups available here. 3-Day GA and VIP passes, along with camping and parking, go on sale publicly Monday, August 24 at 12 p.m. ET. Jampack hotel packages are available here. For as little as $1 down, fans can secure their spot with various flexible layaway options available. Service fees on all pass purchases include a charity fee. This charity fee goes towards the DWP Foundation, which gives back throughout the year to local and national charities.
Incarceration has more to do than just music! Other than live shows, the festival includes hundreds of tattoo artists, multiple tattoo competitions, the terrifyingly fun Blood Prison haunted attraction, and tours of the prison made famous thanks to the film “The Shawshank Redemption.”
