Godsmack, Fiver Finger Death Punch, Taking Back Sunday lead INKCARCERATION 2019 lineup

Godsmack, Taking Back Sunday, Five Finger Death Punch, and Shinedown are just some of the acts who will head to Ohio this summer for the second annual INKCARCERATION Music and Tattoo Festival. On Tuesday (Jan. 15), festival organizers unveiled the rock-centric roster for this year’s event.

Joining the aforementioned acts on the bill are +LIVE+, Seether, Skillet, I Prevail, Starset, Motionless in White, Red Sun Rising, Fozzy, Buckcherry, POD, Andrew W.K., the Red Jumpsuit Apparatus, and more. In total, over 30 bands will take over one of two stages throughout the weekend-long festivities.

In addition to the rocking lineup, the music festival will also include over 70 booths of local and regional tattoo artists. The list of tattoo artists who will be attending this year’s event can be found here. For those who are interested in getting a tattoo during the three-day event, all you need to do is select the artist you would like to work with and schedule an appointment. Simple as that.

If music and tattoos weren’t enough to get you excited, organizers also revealed that attendees can experience Escape From Blood Prison, the annual Halloween haunted house attraction hosted at the Ohio State Reformatory during the months of September, October, and November. This year, the attraction will give attendees the opportunity to experience the frights and sights in early July.

“It’s an honor to be able to open the doors of Blood Prison a couple of months early and give the guests of INKCARCERATION a few scares in July! The warden, his family and the Blood Prison inmates are all excited to meet the fans at INKCARCERATION,” says Vic Amesquita, manager of Blood Prison.

But music, tattoos, and haunted houses are not the only chilling attractions INKCARCERATION will offer this year. Organizers also revealed that attendees can take part in self-guided tours of the historic Ohio State Reformatory, home of the “Shawshank Prison,” during the music festival. According to the festival’s website, the complete, immersive tour should take roughly an hour and a half, so it may be wise to plan accordingly.

“Building off such a strong inaugural year, we are so stoked to give our fans even more in year two,” begins a press statement from the music festival’s promoters.

“With Billboard chart-topping bands such as Shinedown, Godsmack and Five Finger Death Punch leading the way, tattoo artists from around the globe, and the historic backdrop of the haunted Shawshank Prison, INKCARCERATION 2019 will be the don’t miss rock event of the summer in the Midwest!”

INKCARCERATION 2019 will take place at the Ohio State Reformatory in Mansfield, Ohio during the weekend of July 12-14. Tickets for the music festival are currently available here.

Five Finger Death Punch call out the fakes in new song

Now that Five Finger Death Punch fans know they’re getting a brand new album in a little over a month, that’s not stopping the group from unleashing new songs from it any time soon. On Friday (April 6), the Nevada-founded band unleashed another new song from their impending release, …And Justice for None. The new song is titled “Fake” and can be streamed above.

…And Justice for None is set to be released on May 18 through Prospect Park/Eleven Seven. Pre-orders for the record are currently available here.

In support of the album’s release, the group will embark on an extensive summer tour. The lengthy will begin with a slew of music festivals around the country.

Rocklahoma Unveil 2016 Lineup

The unveiling for the “World’s Loudest Month” festival series continues. On Monday (Jan. 11), the lineup for the Oklahoma-based music festival, Rocklahoma, was announced. Like its companion festivals, Jacksonville’s Welcome to Rockville and Ft. Myers’ Fort Rock, the weekend-long event will feature performances from acts like Five Finger Death Punch, Rob Zombie, Disturbed, Bullet For My Valentine, 3 Doors Down, SIXX: AM, and many more. The 2016 incarnation of the festival marks the event’s tenth anniversary which means it’s going to be something special, at least according to those behind the annual event.

“Celebrating the ten-year anniversary of Rocklahoma is something that is incredibly special for all of us involved with the festival, and we tried to have something for everyone with this year’s lineup,” explains Joe Litvag, Executive Producer of Rocklahoma for AEG Live. “We’ve got some incredible first-timers like Scorpions, Disturbed, Last In Line, and Collective Soul. Some fan favorites returning like Five Finger Death Punch, Rob Zombie, and Steel Panther, and as a nod to the inaugural festival in 2007, we even have a few from that first Rocklahoma with Sebastian Bach, Great White, and Bang Tango. It’s going to be an unforgettable anniversary party!”

The three-day festival will invade Pryor, OK during Memorial Weekend, so expect a lot of partying. As always, the festival will include the option to camp at the grounds which comes with perks like the campground stage hosting performances during the Thursday night campground party as well as parties in the afternoon and late night hours on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.

Currently, special priced general admission and reserved tickets are available on Rocklahoma’s website. The specially priced tickets will be available until next Monday, Jan. 18 at noon CST. After that time, the general public sales will begin. Rocklahoma will return to their stomping grounds of the Catch the Fever  Festival Grounds in Pryor during the weekend of May 27-29.
