Bringing 200 Artists to the Quad Cities
Walk-Ups, Bookings, and Tattoo Competitions

Whether you’re planning your next masterpiece or just craving a spontaneous design, the festival’s got you covered. Many artists will be booking in advance, but if you’re feeling impulsive (no judgment—we’ve all been there), there’ll be plenty of opportunities for walk-up tattoos each day, first-come, first-served.

And if you’re already covered in ink, don’t just sit there—show it off! There will be contests all weekend long where you can enter your existing tattoos or watch others compete for bragging rights in the “Tattoo of the Day” showdown.

Not Getting Inked? No Problem.

This isn’t just for the tattooed and the tattoo-curious. Expect art vendors, live demonstrations, and plenty of merch to shop while you admire artists at work. Plus, you’ll get a front-row seat to some of the best tattoo talent the world has to offer.

Schedule:
Friday, June 19 - Public Hours 1 PM - 10 PM
Saturday, June 20 - Public Hours 11 AM - 10 PM
Sunday, June 21 - Public Hours 11 AM - 7 PM

Charley Crockett brings his Age of the Ram Tour with special guest Sierra Hull.

Tickets will be available online at rhythmcitycasino.com or at The Market at Rhythm City for $55, $65, $75, $85, and $95 plus applicable online/phone ticketing fee (this fee is waived when tickets are purchased at The Market Gift Shop inside Rhythm City Casino Resort). An artist presale will start Wednesday March 4 at 10 AM with a Venue presale following March 5 at 10 AM. Tickets will then go on sale to the public March 6 at 10 AM.

Charley Crockett spent 15 years positioning himself firmly outside of the cogs and gears that drive the music industry. The road to stardom never interested the San Benito, Texas, native. It was another path, the one forged by Willie Nelson and Waylon Jennings, which captivated Crockett. “What is classified as solid country gold from Willie and Waylon now,” he says, “was absolutely what they saw as disruptive, not country, dangerous, counterculture, whatever you want to call it.” Now, proudly in the crosshairs of those same labels, Crockett is not just in his element, he’s thriving.
