ACTIVEDescription
Step inside the walls of the legendary Ohio State Reformatory for one of the most electrifying and atmospheric music festivals in the country — Inkcarceration Festival. On Sunday, July 19, 2026, Archers joins a stacked lineup that transforms this hauntingly iconic prison into a thunderous outdoor arena where metal, rock, and raw energy collide in unforgettable fashion.
The Sunday pass delivers a jaw-dropping roster featuring headline acts Limp Bizkit, A Day to Remember, and Motionless in White, alongside a relentless supporting cast including Lorna Shore, Ice Nine Kills, Born of Osiris, Fit For A King, Norma Jean, Silent Planet, Escape The Fate, Alien Ant Farm, and many more. Archers takes the stage among this extraordinary lineup, bringing their fierce sound to a crowd hungry for heavy, passionate performances in one of rock's most unique settings.
The Ohio State Reformatory — made famous by The Shawshank Redemption — provides a breathtaking and eerie backdrop unlike any other festival venue on earth. Surrounded by gothic stone walls and soaring towers, attendees experience pulse-pounding music, immersive art installations, tattoo events, and an atmosphere that crackles with intensity from the first riff to the last encore. This is not just a festival — it's a full-scale experience that lives in your memory long after the final note fades.
