The INKCARCERATION Music and Tattoo Festival is back in action for 2019! The festival brought massive entertainment to over 18,000 fans in its first year, and this year, the festival aims even higher. Taking place once again in Mansfield, OH at the historic Ohio State Reformatory – one of the most haunted buildings in the country and the setting of the 1994 cinematic classic, The Shawshank Redemption – INKCARCERATION 2019 will take place July 12, 13 and 14 and feature over 30 of today’s most electrifying rock bands. Additionally, the festival will once again feature over 70 tattoo artists from across the country, a large variety of food trucks and beverages, and even a terrifying haunted house attraction – Escape from Blood Prison (see below for more information)!
Stay tuned to learn about the full three days of non-stop music to be heard at the festival – the official INKCARCERATION 2019 band line-up is scheduled to be announced in January!

2019 marks the 25th anniversary of The Shawshank Redemption, making this year’s INKCARCERATION at the historic Ohio State Reformatory even more special. Ohio State Reformatory Creative Marketing Director Dan Smith says, “The Reformatory is thrilled for the return of the INKCARCERATION Music and Tattoo Festival in 2019. We had the chance to take a behind the scenes look at the upcoming lineup for this year and it is epic. You are not going want to miss this! Summer months are made to be enjoyed outdoors, and we can’t think of a better time than with live music and the opportunity to get a tattoo right here at the Shawshank Prison. Come prepared for a great time that you’ll be talking about all year.”
