Yesterday, promoters of Inkcarceration, the annual metal festival that takes place at the Ohio State Reformatory that’s also known as the Shawshank prison in Mansfield, Ohio (between Columbus and Cleveland) on July 10, 11, and 12, announced that Limp Bizkit, Weezer and Blink 182 will headline the third iteration of the festival.
“We are extremely humbled by the support the fans put behind this festival in 2019 and wanted to bring them something even bigger in 2020,” the production team says in a statement. “For year three, we put together an extremely eclectic lineup that brings together all forms of rock. This festival is becoming known as the most unique event in the country, so we wanted to construct a lineup as unique as the venue itself! And, of course, it's still the only rock festival held at a famous haunted prison! Expect lots of site upgrades from VIP to camping. We can't wait for everyone to see what we have in store!”
The festival will feature more than 40 bands on two outdoors stages, and 60 tattoo artists will be on hand as well. There will be reformatory tours, gourmet food trucks, camping and the return of the popular haunted house attraction Escape from Blood Prison.
