Danny Wimmer Presents is also pleased to announce a new partnership formed with the creators of the fan-favorite Inkcarceration Music & Tattoo Festival. Inkcarceration is scheduled for July 23-25 at the famous Ohio State Reformatory (aka “Shawshank State Prison” from The Shawshank Redemption) in Mansfield, Ohio

Information on band lineups, ticket information and on-sale dates for Inkcarceration, Louder  Than Life and Welcome To Rockville 2021 will be coming this spring. In addition, Danny  Wimmer Presents has partnered with Sixthman to conquer land and sea in 2022 with an 

immersive 5-day cruise and private island festival in Harvest Caye, Belize, from February 16 – 21, 2022. More details, including lineup and reservations will be coming in the next few months. 

The previously announced Aftershock, the West Coast’s Biggest Rock Festival, which has sold  out for the last five consecutive years, will be bigger and better than ever, taking place October  7-10 at Discovery Park in Sacramento, California. Aftershock 2021 will be headlined by  Metallica (performing two unique sets, one on Friday and one on Sunday) and My Chemical  Romance (Saturday), who were both confirmed for the sold-out postponed 2020 event. The diverse Aftershock 2021 lineup will also include: Limp Bizkit, Rancid, The Offspring, Social  Distortion, Rise Against, Volbeat, Machine Gun Kelly, Mastodon, Gojira, SEETHER,  Parkway Drive, and many more. Passes for Aftershock 2021 are almost sold out; fans are encouraged to get them before it’s too late at www.AftershockFestival.com

Several other longstanding events within the Danny Wimmer Presents portfolio will take a hiatus in 2021, with a commitment to return bigger than ever for the 2022 season, including Epicenter (Charlotte, NC) and Sonic Temple Art + Music Festival (Columbus, OH). 

“Taking our festivals down last year was one of the most painful experiences our company has ever lived through,” explains Danny Wimmer, Founder of Danny Wimmer Presents. “And it wasn’t just painful for us, it was hard on the bands, fans, partners, cities and vendors. It has become clear to us that we will not be able to have our festivals this spring, and for a variety of reasons, it is not possible to produce all of our annual festivals in the window of Fall 2021, so we made the difficult decision to only produce Aftershock, Welcome To Rockville and Louder  Than Life this year. These are our longest-running and most geographically diverse festivals.  Focusing on these three events, along with Inkcarceration Festival at the end of July gives as  many fans as possible, from all over the country, the chance to rock again.” 

All current pass holders for Epicenter and Sonic Temple will be emailed today with options for  a full refund or the opportunity to apply their existing credit to any of DWP’s 2021 festivals,  including Inkcarceration, Louder Than Life, Aftershock and Welcome To Rockville.
