This Week's Podcast Episode
I’m recapping a wild and muddy weekend moshing at INKcarceration 2025, the massive metal and tattoo festival at the Ohio State Reformatory in Mansfield, Ohio. It was extra special this year because I got to bring my son Kaden along to rock out at his very first music festival.
I break down everything you need to know before you go: from the heavy-hitting lineups featuring bands like Slipknot, Five Finger Death Punch, and Falling in Reverse, to insider tips on camping, shuttle logistics, and snagging those coveted tattoo and prison tour spots.
Festival Performance of the Week
Sometimes the best moments at a music festival are personal. This documentary is incredibly personal to me because it was produced with the help of my oldest son Kaden (who you'll meet when you watch). As he was growing up, I always knew he had an artistic flare, but his ability to quickly learn my cameras as well as his natural eye and skill as a cinematographer is what made the INK documentary turn out pretty bad ass. So yeah, this week's festival performance of the week belongs to my son Kaden.
Make sure to watch all the way to the end to see him crowd surf to his favorite band Slipknot in the credits.

Heyo Neighbors, I'm NeighborN8...
If you're here, we probably met at a festival. Or just maybe you heard about Music Festivals Podcast in the campground from your neighbors. Maybe you were searching for deals on camping gear and found is that way, who knows? However you landed on this website, I'm sure glad your here.
We both ❤️ going to music festivals. The people, the vibes, the music, the campfire jams, the vendors, the food, the party ... all of it.
But planning your experience can be a pain in the ass. Some venues and producers put out a ton of content and information to help you. But for whatever reason, most don't.

From knowing where to camp, to performance schedules, to learning your way around tent city, you'll want to subscribe to makes it easier to plan (and revisit) the amazing experience.
