KORN, DISTURBED, BREAKING BENJAMIN And EVANESCENCE To Headline This Year's INKCARCERATION MUSIC & TATTOO FESTIVAL

After debuting a massive revamp of the festival grounds in 2021, Inkcarceration Music & Tattoo Festival aims to make the 2022 edition the biggest one yet. Over the weekend of July 15-17, music fans will converge for three days of nonstop music, tattooing, haunted attractions, and more, all held on the historic grounds of the Ohio State Reformatory (made famous by the movie "The Shawshank Redemption") located in Mansfield, Ohio.

The headliners include rock and metal giants KORN, DISTURBED, BREAKING BENJAMIN and EVANESCENCE with the weekend also offering must-see performances from LAMB OF GOD, PAPA ROACH, SEETHER, FALLING IN REVERSE, THREE DAYS GRACE, I PREVAIL, BLACK LABEL SOCIETY, THEORY OF A DEADMAN, BLACK VEIL BRIDES, JELLY ROLL and many more.

The event continues the ongoing partnership of America's largest independent festival producer Danny Wimmer Presents and the creators of Inkcarceration, who together produce an event like no other. Passes for the 2021 event sold out in the first week, marking the fastest sellout in the festival's history, so fans are encouraged to buy early for 2022 to reserve their spot for one of the most anticipated events of the summer.

Single-day and weekend passes for Inkcarceration 2022 are on sale now at www.Inkcarceration.com, starting at $164.99 plus fees. Fans can secure passes for only $22 down now through March 15.

Says David Draiman of DISTURBED: "We are thrilled to be playing on the historic and hallowed grounds of the Ohio State Reformatory for our first Inkcarceration. Ohio, Are You Ready?"

PAPA ROACH's Jacoby Shaddix adds: "We are excited to be part of Inkcarceration this year. Epic lineup, can't wait to see all you Inkmates!"

Inkcarceration co-founder Daniel Janssen says: "The 2022 edition will be, by far, our most ambitious year yet. The partnership with the Danny Wimmer Presents team has really enhanced all aspects of the festival and fan experience. Seeing the excitement this event continues to bring to this state and city of Mansfield, along with the fan support from all over the country, makes me so proud to call Ohio my home."
