We’re already dreaming of the mosh pits.
The annual Inkcarceration Festival just announced their 2025 lineup and have enlisted some of the biggest names in metal to take their stages from July 18-20 at the Ohio State Reformatory in Mansfield, OH.
Just a few of those iconic acts set to thrash at the former prison site include Slipknot, Five Finger Death Punch, Lamb of God, Falling In Reverse and Three Days Grace.
They’ll be joined by Knocked Loose, Acid Bath, I Prevail, Beartooth and Killswitch Engage.
Controversially, Marilyn Manson, who was recently accused of but won’t face charges of domestic violence and sexual assault, will be there as well.
In total, 64 acts — including one surprise artist that will be named at a later date — will take the stage at this year’s Midwest music and tattoo extravaganza.
