INKCARCERATION 2023
The Inkcarceration Music & Tattoo Festival happening July 14-16, 2023, at the old Ohio State Reformatory in Mansfield, has announced that Limp Bizkit and Slipknot will join the revamped Pantera as headliners this year.
Pantera was announced as the Saturday, July 15, headliner earlier this year. Yesterday, Inkcarceration unveiled a full lineup, with Limp Bizkit headlining Friday, July 14, and Slipknot topping the bill on Sunday, July 16. Dozens of other acts scheduled to perform at the three-day fest, including Megadeth, Lamb of God, and Slipknot. Any Metalheads looking for fresh meat can check out bands such as Vended, featuring two sons of Sunday headliners Slipknot’s “Clown” and Corey Taylor, and Fight From Within.
The event will be hosted by SiriusXM’s Jose “Metal Ambassador” Mangin. There will also be a tattoo convention with more than 65 artists and free tours of the Reformatory, which served as the prison in the Oscar-winning film, “The Shawshank Redemption.” Additionally, the popular haunted house attraction Blood Prison returns to scare festival-goers.
