In what has become a staple in the Midwest, Danny Wimmer Presents has announced the lineup for the 8th annual Inkcarceration Music & Tattoo Festival. Taking place in the small town of Mansfield, Ohio, known mainly for its historic old prison, (think Shawshank Redemption) more than 90,000 people will once again take to the yard of the Ohio State Reformatory for what is poised to be the biggest year yet. For three days, over 65 bands, and more than 100 tattoo artists will set up shop, in and around the reformatory creating one of the most unique events someone can attend.
July 17th to 19th, will find regular DWP headliners like Limp Bizkit and Disturbed, adding Bad Omens, who will headline their first DWP festival evening ever. With the level of energy, they brought to last year’s Louder Than Life in Louisville, Kentucky, it was honestly only a matter of time before they cemented a closing slot.
