After announcing earlier this year that Inkcarceration Festival would be bringing on Danny Wimmer Presents to help elevate the festival for 2021, the official lineup was all anyone could really talk about.
Announced yesterday was the long awaited and well rumored Mudvayne reunion, as an exclusive performer at all DWP Festivals. That started the countdown to this afternoon when the official Inkcarceration lineup would be unleashed on the masses.
After a brief hiatus due to Covid restrictions across America last year, Inkcarceration will return for its third year in 2021. Taking place this upcoming September 10, 11 & 12 at the Historic Ohio State Reformatory in Mansfield, Ohio, fans will be treated to an onslaught of rock and heavy metal music for the first time in over a year.
Joining Mudvayne (for their first performance together in over 12 years), will be Rob Zombie, and the monsterous Slipknot. With direct support by A Day To Remember, Mastodon, Halestorm, Chevelle, Killswitch Engage and Beartooth on their respective nights, this three-day weekend will see over 50 bands perform.
The current Inkcarceration Music & Tattoo Festival 2021 lineup is as follows (subject to change):
Friday, September 10: Slipknot, Mastodon, Killswitch Engage, Steel Panther, The Hu, Ice Nine Kills, Badflower, Escape The Fate, New Years Day, Local H, Currents, Spite, Reach NYC, Damn Nation, Mollo Rilla, To Us Below, Dead Bundy, Berklee College of Music, Paul Bartolome

Aside from the diverse musical lineup, Inkcarceration wouldn’t be doing its name justice if fans weren’t able to book appointment with more than 75 tattoo artists as well as take free tours of the Ohio State Reformatory prison made famous by the blockbuster hit “The Shawshank redemption”
