Inkcarceration Festival Reveals a Huge Lineup Including Limp Bizkit, Bad Omens, and Many More

When the dust had settled and the last notes had finally finished ringing out, the folks behind last year’s Inkcarceration Festival announced that the event had broken its previous attendance record with approximately 90,000 people showing up last July. Earlier today, they announced the full lineup of bands for 2026 and I gotta say — they might break that number again.

Just as in previous years, the Inkcarceration Music & Tattoo Festival will return to the historic Ohio State Reformatory in Mansfield, Ohio from July 17 to 19. This time around, the grounds will host more than 65 bands, including some must-see reunion sets, anniversary playthroughs, and just an incredibly jam packed lineup of acts across three stages.

This year’s also special because of those 65+ bands participating in the festival, Inkcarceration co-founder Dan Janssen said more than 45 are making their debut to the event. Of course, Limp Bizkit, Disturbed, and Bad Omens will be headlining each night.

The full list of bands playing this year’s festival are as follows:

“We’re expecting 2026 to be a landmark year for Inkcarceration. After selling out every year since 2021, this summer brings one of our most in-demand lineups to date.”

Janssen also pointed out the various upgrades made to the site as whole, as well as the camping and parking experience that should make coming to the festival even more convenient for fans. Like always, this year’s festival will also include more than 100 tattoo artists, haunted attractions, and tours of the prison that served as the set for The Shawshank Redemption.
