Inkcarceration has announced its lineup for this year's festival, with some huge names set to descend upon the unique location of the Ohio State Reformatory in Mansfield, Ohio this July. Joining the previously announced Bad Omens and Chimaira (the latter making their first festival appearance in 14 years) on this year's bill will be headliners Breaking Benjamin, Godsmack and Shinedown, as well as the likes of pop punk legends The Offspring, rock heavyweights Halestorm, heavy metal heroes Machine Head and metalcore icons Parkway Drive, Killswitch Engage and Poison The Well.
