ACTIVEDescription
Corpse Pile takes the stage at one of America's most hauntingly atmospheric concert venues — the Ohio State Reformatory — as part of the 2026 Inkcarceration Music & Tattoo Festival. This legendary gothic prison, immortalized in The Shawshank Redemption, transforms into a pulsating fortress of extreme metal, delivering an experience that is as visceral as it is unforgettable. On Friday, July 17, 2026, the walls of this National Historic Landmark will reverberate with some of the heaviest sounds in modern music.
Corpse Pile performs alongside a jaw-dropping lineup that includes headliners Disturbed, Papa Roach, and Cypress Hill, plus a stacked bill featuring Jinjer, Hollywood Undead, Tech N9ne, Starset, Memphis May Fire, Sanguisugabogg, Entheos, and many more. From crushing death metal to rap-rock anthems, the Friday pass delivers an overwhelming spectrum of heavy music that rewards fans of every extreme subgenre. The reformatory's imposing cellblocks and sprawling grounds create multiple stages of sonic chaos unlike any conventional festival setting.
Inkcarceration is more than a music festival — it's a full sensory experience fusing world-class tattooing, horror attractions, and relentless live performances inside a genuinely eerie historic landmark. Whether you're moshing in the pit or exploring the haunted grounds between sets, this is a bucket-list event for fans of heavy music and dark culture. Don't miss Corpse Pile's blistering set in this once-in-a-lifetime setting.
