ICP’S A WALK THROUGH THE DARKNESS

Beware all who enter here. The Insane Clown Posse invites you to a place of gathered shadow. Into the farthest, darkest reaches of The Dark Carnival. Where the stars do not reach, and all terrors held within run rampant. Here the voices of the unquiet dead scream from out of the darkness, clawing from all directions as Violent J and Shaggy 2 Dope conjure pure unfiltered wickedness from the stage above. Spit from their lips like curses from black magic magicians come visions of murder and madness, chaos and insanity. Haunted lyrics from the most diabolical corners of the ICP catalog, sure to chill the bones of the dead and undead alike. For one Gathering night, ICP brings you along... for A Walk Through the Darkness!

ICP’S A WALK THROUGH THE LIGHT

Twist and spin to the other side of the looking glass, as the Insane Clown Posse takes you to a place where the light shines so vast, it might knock you on your ass and we'll all have a good laugh! In the Dark Carnival there are many houses, and this one glistens with diamond shine from the floor to the roof, revealing crystal clear skies so bright you won't believe your eyes! Here Karma reigns on high and the vibes are strictly Cloud 9 as your homies Shaggy Shaggz and Violent Jizzay speak truth to Juggalo power and ignite the stage with nothing but that Family Luv! Call it a sermon of celebration, where everything is amazing and every lyric spit drips with elation! This is ICP at their most uplifting, and they wanna see every Juggalo in the crowd jumping for joy! That's why, for one Gathering night, ICP personally asks you to join them... to take A Walk Through The Light!

Butcher Babies

What do you get when The Headbanger's Ball meets The Monster's Ball? Why, The Butcher Babies of course! Like a pit in the sea swallowing sailors to their death, Butcher Babies represent a lethal whirlpool of influences from punk rock, to groove and thrash metal. Hiedi Shepard tempers high flying melodic vocals with punishing gutterals in virtuosic fashion, while Henry Flury shreds on guitar and Dave Nickles blasts his way through each song on drums. The results are sometimes tender, sometimes funny, sometimes scary, always aggressive- like a beautiful woman leaning in for a kiss, only to rip out your heart and punt it like a field goal! Live they are nothing less a sensation for the eyes and a turbo charge for the ears, so get with it, get lit and get in the pit when Butcher Babies throw it down at The Gathering of The Juggalos!

Chris Webby

Guess who's back on their BS? If you guessed Chris Webby, then we guess you guessed right! Never one to play it safe, Chris Webby courts controversy like he's trying to take it home after dinner and honestly, we love him for it! Webby puts his spin on that Golden Era, multi-syllabic, acrobatic flow with self-deprecating humor and pointed social commentary. The kind of rap that makes you stop and think after being tickled by an ice-cold punchline. The kind of rap that sticks in your head after the beat's stopped going and you're ready for bed! For nearly ten years Chris Webby has been ripping Raw Thoughts to his eager listeners, and now the Juggalos get to see that heat unleashed at The Gathering of the Juggalos!

Diggy Graves

Everyone make way for the man in the mask! From the look on his blank face, it's obvious he's come to kill something- and it's probably the beat! Hands will for sure rise in the air as this horrorcore specter ignites the Gathering grounds like a megaton explosion! Like dropping a corpse in the middle of a trampoline park, he brings together morbid imagery and an off-the-wall, hard-hitting flow with some serious high-energy bounce! His name has been circulating the underground like an urban legend, and now this burgeoning cult rap sensation is seizing The Gathering stage like the opening scene in a slasher flick! So, get dressed in your fanciest funeral suit and practice your best Tac-Town-Two-Step Juggalos, here comes Diggy Graves!

DJ Paul

Like a lighthouse beam slicing through the night comes a man who defines shine. Revolutionary DJ. Influential MC. Acclaimed producer and self-proclaimed Juggalo: DJ Paul! If you don't know this Memphis Titan, then you've been living life like a hermit crab. He packs a sound so potent it can knock you right out of that soft, crunchy shell! From his storied history with Three Six Mafia to producing everyone from Drake to Yelawolf, DJ Paul has touched the very heartbeat of musical success without ever selling out his immense Juggalo love! Simply put, DJ Paul freaks it like no one can, and you can come see why he's the GOAT at The Gathering of the Juggalos!

ESHAM

He emerges from the folds of time and space like a Reel Life Enigma. Standing on The Gathering stage like a pirate's most elusive bounty: A solid gold human statue, brought to life and delivering blistering truth through the art of the microphone. It's the one and only, the Detroit Original, the man who goes by many titles but is known across the world as Esham! His mark on Motown music rests like Godzilla's footprint across the city, influencing generations of MCs with a butterfly effect that echoes strong on the winds of The Wicket Shit to this very day! But just when you think you can get a hold over him, like quicksilver he slips the grasp of the definable and reinvents the game in his image! To catch an Esham set at The Gathering is always a treat and a privilege, and now's your chance to watch this legend in motion as he moves the crowd the way a wizard can manipulate the waves as we welcome him in our Strange New World!

Hatebreed

Batten down the hatches and prepare for rough waters! Slamming down on The Gathering of the Juggalos like a heavy metal anchor bracing a brigantine against a treacherous storm blasts the Earth-shattering sound of none other than Hatebreed! For twenty years and some change, Hatebreed has come to define the sound of modern American hardcore with a musical footprint that has inspired generations of imitators as well as legions of rabid fans! Far from mindless aggression, Jamey Jasta's distinctive shout carve into the very air lyrics of thoughtful defiance, self empowerment and palpable challenges to the systems and illusions of daily civilization! All forged in steel behind abrasive chords framing deadly breakdowns, in true hardcore fashion! Hatebreed is ready to move the Juggalos into an absolute pit frenzy, so your only option is to brace yourself or get out of the way!

Ouija Macc

Among even the most seasoned adventurers, The Sunken Church remains a place only rumored to exist. Yet it is said that within its most secret and sacred chamber, Scroll Keepers and Gatherers of the Elements commune to empower and give rise to a physical embodiment of a Dark Carnival Spirit. One who traverses many plains, from the outer reaches of Darcc Planet to the forsaken Wasteland. To a mundane eye one sees just another Juggalo from Sin City. To the underground initiated with metaphysical minds they know him as both Ghost and Goblin. The Juggalo Elemental: Ouija Macc! Juggalos, hold on to your horses like they're about to break from under you, because when Ouija takes The Gathering stage all bets are off like your mama's top! More than just a vet, this Chapter 17-page master is a son of The Gathering soil and isn't afraid to show it by rocking the stage until it glows like embers in the ritual fire! No two GOTJ performances from this mad monk of the Wicked have ever been the same, so even we can't say for sure what's in store! We can only say that it's something that can't be missed, and that both jaws and wigs will be scooped up off the floor after Ouija Macc does what he does where he was made to it: at The Gathering of the Juggalos!

The Pharcyde

You better run and tell Ya Mama, 'cause she's in for it now! Real Hip-Hop heads know Slimkid3, Imani and Fatlip as the trio of MCs slicker than three seals caught in an oil spill known collectively as The Pharcyde! Busting on the scene in early 90's, Pharcyde carved out an enduring legacy with an abstract style that went against the grain that still resonates to this day. With gold and platinum selling singles such as Passin Me By, Runnin, and Drop they are considered one of the greatest rap groups of all time. To see these three founding members reunited under The Pharcyde banner is a wig flipping privilege, and now they're unleashing their legendary stage presence live at The Gathering of The Juggalos!

Tech N9ne

An ominous red glow envelopes the stage like the atmosphere of an oncoming apocalypse. Enter Aaron Yates, the living avatar of three personas: The King, The Clown, The G, all encompassed as the monster we have all come to know as TECH N9NE! Multi-faceted, multi-platinum, whatever Tech touches turns to success, and that success spreads like a wildfire, consuming an industry that never saw him coming! They say he's Evil Brained and Angel Hearted, however that maniacal mind led to nothing but innovation in flow as well as business, and those who know, know that he's bringing the Strange to our Strange New World like nobody else could! In fact, this year Tech N9ne celebrates the 25th anniversary of his groundbreaking album, "Anghellic" which released concurrent to when he started taking the Juggalo World by storm! Since then, his domination of the industry and history within The Gathering itself has been inseparable! It all comes full circle with the return of The Kansas City King as Tech N9ne joins us at The Gathering of the Juggalos!

Vanilla Ice

The Gathering of the Juggalos is without question one of the greatest parties on planet Earth, so as we set sail toward this Strange New World it is our pleasure to welcome aboard the man who brings nothing less than the absolute energy to match: Vanilla Ice! Our homie V-Ice has been repping for The Juggalo Fam for crazy long now, and every time he takes up a mic in front of them the vibes are beyond description! Outside of being one of the most iconic and successful artists of all time, he has never ceased exercising a show-stopping flow that made him such a phenomenon in the first place! It's an old-skool, head-nod approach that hits the soul like a melodic hammer and resonates with Juggalos from around the world! When the beat drops and he hits the stage, we wanna hear you 'WHOOP WHOOP!' as loud as you can for Vanilla Ice!

$ALAMANDER X

There's hellified groups out there that claim Trap Metal but this killer quintet brings the Trap like you're a wild animal caught in a snare, and the Metal like a bike chain across your face! $ALAMANDER X has come to shred like a honey badger got fired from his day job, with a bone to pick with upper management! From the gritty south with one anchor placed in the faraway reaches of Moldova, these five come together like a fist to deliver some serious get-out-of-the-way-or-get-moved pit music! Andrei Botezat grounds the band with literal metal bone structure, while Dave Kozol and James Hendrix blast a rhythmic heartbeat into the music. Rounding out this behemoth is Nick Freddy bringing Deathcore vocals and Stevie Miles with the kind of brutal rapping skills that make the local MCs drop their microphones and blush! $ALAMANDER X is what it sounds like when an unstoppable force meets and immovable object, and they're taking this Strange New World by force at The Gathering of the Juggalos!

Alla Xul Elu

Ominous church bells chime throughout the Gathering grounds. Are you prepared to be baptized by the blasphemous? The three-headed wicked shit spittin’ demonic entity known as the ALLA XUL ELU make their triumphant return to the Gathering of the Juggalos in a storm of sulfur and screams. Let their doom-bap drenched decibels cave in your skull like a cathedral ceiling, leaving your soul smoldering and brimstoned!

Darby O’Trill

If you're a Juggalo really tuned into the culture then you already know Darby O'Trill deserves his flowers, only he'd prefer them already wilted and plucked not-so-fresh from some ancient tomb! The Shovelmane is back, and that's because The Shovelmane never really left, being the dictionary definition of Down For Life! Penned forever into the pages of Chapter 17, Darby brings his nuwicked style to life like a waterlogged zombie climbing its way out of the Creek! Speculation and a prolonged stare into his eyes says there's something seriously wrong with the kid, but that only leads to magnificent art with a meandering, melodic style that has hit home within many a Juggalo's heart! Nobody has ever done it the way Darby O'Trill has done it and we consider him a welcome, even necessary addition to A Strange New World!

Jordon Stepp

Let's give it up for the young boys who go out and get it like none other can! They call him Jordon Stepp because he's been walked across the planet all the way up in ya mama's drawers and back! Let us stop playin' with y'all: This certified hood rich dropout class king has been shredding it up with freestyles and remixes of Juggalo classics since before he could walk it seems, bringing his own youthful energy and what it means to be of this culture front-and-center to what is sure to be a Gathering of the Juggalos performance that is not to be missed! A certified Diamond Cut co-signed by none other than Shaggy 2 Dope, who advises you not to sleep or else "It could be bad for your health!"

KLOKWERK E

It's a Strange New World, and well, it just doesn't get any stranger than when no one is looking and we let these two fifth-dimensional fools grab ahold of the mic! Of course we could only be talking about Klockwerk E! The Silver Boof Boys are sons of The Gathering soil, which might go a long way to explain the explainable. Billy D and Kyle K have ripped it coast to coast using what we assume were mostly fake IDs and go karts finessed out of only the most disreputable tourist traps, but that's purely speculation. The bottom line is, scratch a pair of unlikely Juggalo weirdos and what you will find are two legitimate spitters who kick bars of a bent lifestyle straight from the heart of the culture! You asked for it, and we delivered, now come Gather like you're supposed to with Klokwerk E!

Michael Trapson Glowtown Live

Somewhere within the multiverse, there exists a dimension where The King of Pop never died. Instead, his immense talent got infused with the sounds of the street, and he became the biggest block star of all time! Somehow, he has crossed over into our timeline, and he's ready to shake The Gathering to the rafters! Come see this viral sensation and you will find that the spirit of MJ is alive and well, spitting ruthless trap house raps with a full band and backup dancers! Michael Trapson is taking it from Neverland Ranch to the streets in a performance that is sure to define A Strange New World!

MIDNIGHTINYAMI

Look out ninjas, it's certified Family Official! Prepare to gawk til your jaw bounces off the pavement as MIDNIGHTINYAMI makes his Main Stage debut at The Gathering of the Juggalos! Like a member of the Straw Hat pirate clique, this fresh-faced maverick/newskool tunnel runner beat the odds and is now off to make bigger and better plunder with the buzz of a salty sea dog gone off that Caribbean rum! You might have caught MIDNIGHTINYAMI as he made his mark the way X marks buried treasure, tearing down stages from sundown to sunup with raw energy, heavy beats and scorching witticisms! He's consistently put on for The Juggalo Family, now he's putting it down for y'all on the Kraken Stage as we sail ever closer to a Strange New World!

MUTANOID UNDERGROUND DWELLERS

Who's ready to get it out the MUD? Well, you might not have much choice in the matter when the two cryptids suspected to be ILL Fortune and Enokh Xmortiz pop the top on their respective manholes and slither onto the stage, ready to melt your face like some poorly stored radioactive goop! The Mutanoid Underground Dwellers freakazoid rap show is a lot like a corset on a housefly- hard to pin down, but once you see it you know there's nothing else like it! Think of an 80's melt movie and you're halfway there, only they're Juggalo'd out to their hard and highly contagious core! You want it strange? Well the Mutanoid Underground Dwellers are bringing it like a box of toenails and teeth, specially delivery to A Strange New World at The Gathering of the Juggalos!

Nathan James

Imagine you find yourself trapped in a psych ward while the inmates have taken over the asylum. All of the sudden you see smoke curling under the locked door, and you realize you're trapped with two dozen madmen who decided to burn the joint down for fun! That's the kind of unhinged energy you can expect when you catch Nathan James live at The Gathering of the Juggalos! With chugging, down-tuned guitar groves and his own blend of aggressive rap and melody, Nathan James brings the Nu Metal like your homie who melts down stolen chains and flips them for cash! Every lyric spit is as aggressive and uncompromising as a bullet, and the full band behind them blasts just as hard! This is one more for all you mosh pit mongrels out there, so are you ready to go hard with Nathan James in this Strange New World or what?

Shotgun Willy

Juggalos, if a mad scientist took the meaning of IDGAF and gave it life and a microphone, what would emerge on the other side of that experiment would be none other than Shotgun Willy! We're talking a spitter who's off the wall like a picture frame when your neighbors are bangin' it out animal-style in a duplex! Shotgun Willy rips it quite vicious about money, hoes, child support, explosions... whatever is on his unfathomable mind really, and he does it with the swagger of a Looney Tunes character abusing Mario mushrooms with a preroll of that Popeye spinach on deck! Our Strange New World offers spectacles beyond belief, and you can tell by the unhinged look in his eye Shotgun Willy is more than happy to deliver!

Wakko The Kidd

Like a ninja he can disappear and reemerge in a cloud of smoke, but instead of concealed gunpowder it's a thick vapor of potent Airheadz! Wakko the Kidd is the Juggalo who showed you anything is possible, taking his hustle from the streets to the underground and all the way to the Gathering stage! What Wakko kicks on the mic is ripped straight from the trenches of his real life, and every last word is spit with the conviction of a proud Juggalo! Whether he's teaching you how to stack bread or bury a body, everything Wakko does is to the fullest, especially at The Gathering of the Juggalos!

xEIGHTY-SIXEDx

Some like it hardcore like you're munching on boiled peanuts down at the local tavern. Others like it hardcore like you're breaking teeth chewing on literal nuts and bolts while some folded retiree is screaming at you to get the hell out of his garage! xEIGHTY-SIXEDx has come to give you the latter, and then some with powerful Deathcore vocals, irreverent, maybe-food-related lyrics and some brutal breakdowns like your alternator blew while going a buck-twenty on the freeway! And like the resultant car crash, xEIGHTY-SIXEDx has come to make noise, open a pit, and cause some high-octane chaos at The Gathering of the Juggalos!
