There is no concert venue quite like The Ohio State Reformatory. The tower looms behind stages, food vendors, and merch tents with all the grandeur of a medieval fortress. Equal parts ominous and captivating, the setting perfectly pairs with the haunting sound of the hard rock/heavy metal bands that graced the stage July 17th-19th. Brought to life by Danny Wimmer Presents, Inkcarceration 2026 absolutely and unequivocally ROCKED!
