The Gathering of the Juggalos brings you the hardcore like cracking a tooth on a peach pit! And speaking of pits, get ready to open one up with Salamander X! Witness the evolution of rap-rock savagery with potent, punishing drums and lyrics that encourage you to nut up and get in the mix! Bodies will not be stagnant as this display of audio aggression comes blasting out the speaker stacks like a musical headbutt! If you're a pit ninja, this is your call to cop a ticket and get with it at the world's greatest Underground throwdown!

Bleed The Wicked Menace

They say he was born from the belly of a black goat that keeled over in the midsummer sun. On the day the maggots burst forth from its fetid guts, they rose in a swarm until taking the shape of a man. Thus, stood in all black, the Occult Rap maverick: Bleed The Wicked Menace! Juggalos, prepare your ears for the rapid-fire flow of a creature who spits from a place without light. Bleed's fast, tight and insane raps will drag you through the cemetery gates, down to Hell's Pit itself! This year The Gathering of The Juggalos is celebrating all things Wicked Shit, so with the sigils drawn we are summoning Bleed The Wicked Menace to rock the stage until the dead themselves get up and dance!

Darby O’Trill

Watch how you walk when you walk these woods at night. The deeper you venture into the places where moonlight does not reach, the thicker the stench of decay as the bodies grow more numerous and the air becomes an atmosphere of rot. Beware The Creek at all costs, lest you encounter the deranged man dragging the blade of a shovel through the dirt. Juggalos, this is the archfiend of Chapter 17, the TENBANDZ Terrifier, Darby O'Trill! Beneath his head of bushy hair lies a haunted mind full gruesome imaginings that he's more than happy to unleash on the audience like the popped top of a Riddlebox! This Nu Wicked pioneer is without a doubt a son of The Dark Carnival soil, and there's no better a way to experience him than in his element, live and in effect at The Gathering of The Juggalos!

DJ PAUL

A long shadow is cast over the land at the emergence of the rap game's dark horse. The wielder of the Mystic Stylez. The original Tear da Club Up Thug. The Master of Evil. We welcome home to The Gathering stage a true original and Academy Award winning Juggalo extraordinaire (no, really): DJ PAUL! Few figures in music history have a pedigree as storied and celebrated as our long time, down-by-law homie and we're super excited to have him back and rocking with us! From grinding his way to the top of the Memphis underground to reaching pinnacle success during the MTV era without compromising a damn thing, DJ Paul's status as an industry vet is nothing less than legendary soldier status! This card-carrying member of The Killjoy Club has Juggalo love flowing in his veins, so on behalf of Psychopathic Records, if you're excited to see DJ Paul at The Gathering, let's get it in the comments one time! Everybody say – MAFIA!

Esham

When The Gathering moon rises and a shadow of The Devil overtakes it, it is a signal for the Closed Casket to finally creek open. From his stature, many might consider him a myth of a monster, but to the Juggalos in the know he is nothing less than Reel Life. Call him The Boogeyman. Call him The Unholy. Whatsoever moniker you choose, there could be only one. Of course we're talking about the mighty, mighty Esham! In the bedrock days of Detroit rap, this wicked shit pioneer set the city on edge with the unprecedented vision of terror that was "Boomin' Words From Hell!" Since then, like a rap game Mephistopheles, his influence has only spread across the ages while he himself shows no signs of slowing down! Even as you read this, he's whipping up a bloody Amouse Bouche to force feed the listeners as a latest offering! For fans of all things wicked, an Esham set at The Gathering is never a thing to be missed, and this year is no exception! Let's give a big whoop-whoop for ESHAM!

GANXSTA N-I-P

Like Leatherface himself, this deadly MC is a Texas horror legend and the originator of horrorcore itself! Straight from Houston, where the streets get as hot as a demon's barbecue pit, give it up for Ganxta NIP! You read that right! During this year's celebration of all things wicked, The South Park Psycho himself makes his debut at The Gathering of the Juggalos! For those of you who don't know, this trail-blazing juggernaut carries the distinction of being a formative influence in both Southern Rap and Horrorcore! A foundational voice in either genre, NIP's violent horror imagery is tempered by a heavy dose of street-life, paralleling his contemporaries The Geto Boys long before the word 'horrorcore" became heavily associated with the style! That's as OG as it gets! The resulting career consists of more than three decades of some of the rawest lyrical content ever put to wax, and he's packing it like a serial killer's Kill Kit when Gangsta N-I-P hits the stage at The Gathering of the Juggalos!

Grimm

SLIT. CUT. GUT. Welcome to the black lands, where the pervasive anti-hope of the dark trap meets the uncompromising brutality of death metal! True to their name, GRIMM is music meandering and doom-laden. Discordant, like the psychological after-effects of a homicide. In a word, WICKED. From the low clean-vocals to the punishing gutterals, GRIMM represents a polished but grimy flex on modern trends in dark music honed to a deadly edge! That's why we're proud to put them on display for the hardest audience on the planet at The Gathering of the Juggalos!

HB The Grizzly

Juggalos! Get ready to feel the ursine power when the supreme vocal vixen HB The Grizzly steps up to maul the stage at The Gathering of the Juggalos! From Sheboygan to The Barrio, this Shrunken Head Entertainment siren has been clawing at the hearts and minds of audiences everywhere and has been known to dominate The Gathering stage with her absolutely animal stage presence! She's a class act that is hard to follow, so show out, show love and see exactly what we mean!

ICP’s “The Red Show”

When you hear the sharp pipes of a calliope winding its way into your brain, it's already too late. The music rises, growing ever more frantic, as a gang of redrum clowns take to the stage alongside two titans of bloody terror: Violent J and Shaggy 2 Dope, collectively known as the Insane Clown Posse! From putting the worst of the ghetto in your face to dragging you down to reddish glow of Hell's Pit, it's a name synonymous with Horror Rap since 1992, and in 2024 they're dropping three decades of Wicked Shit on The Gathering of The Juggalos like a Hatchet to the dome! Prepare your eyes and ears for some of the scariest and most influential cuts committed to wax, played live and in your face as the Faygo flies like a bigot's head after a visit from a Joker's Card! You want horror? Welcome to the core, OG Wicked Clown style painted on a red canvas using real blood! And the only way to reach it is at The Gathering of The Juggalos!

ICP’S HOUSE OF HORRORS SHOW

With the necromantic spells spoken by the eminent Great Milenko, we call from out of the past one of the most spellbinding performances in Juggalo history! For one night only, what is dead and buried is made once again new and fresh for The Gathering resurrection of Insane Clown Posse's House of Horrors Show! Back in 1998, some of y'all's moms were out on dates, but that's the year ICP had their prominent clown shoes firmly on the neck of a nation with The House of Horrors Tour! In true Motown fashion, Violent J and Shaggy 2 Dope geared up and hit the road with that certified Detroit Wicked Shit, in a keystone moment that introduced the theatrics of Shock Rock into the Hip-Hop sphere! If you missed it you're either soft as a biscuit, or you weren't even born yet! We don't give a fuck! It's a blood-soaked orgy of Faygo and corpses when we bring this resident evil back from the dead, one night only, Gathering-style! So welcome to... y'all know the rest!

Kim Dracula

Coming soon, fresh out the casket to a Gathering stage near you, it's the macabre musical oddity: Kim Dracula! Divisive among discussions in musical circles thanks to their viral nature and unapologetic commitment to being wholly themself, it's exactly that maverick spirit that drew our eye and called for them to rise up to rock The Gathering Stage! Since 2020 this Tazmanian Devil has pulled it out the mud and by the throat with a barrage of alternative hits, drawing the attention of freaks and Fam alike, resulting in collaborations with SosMula, IC3PEAK and Tech N9ne among others! Now like a flying buttress in a decaying churchyard, Kim Dracula is set to emerge from the darkness and loom large over the stage this summer at The Gathering of the Juggalos!

Mastamind

It’s the resurrection of pure Detroit wicked in the flesh! The Gathering of the Juggalos proudly presents: The one and only Mastamind! One third of the legendary NATAS and a distinctive figure in the underground down to his Detroit roots, Mastamind’s acid-dipped voice and challenging flow embody the grit and innovation of what it means to be Motor City and we couldn’t be happier to have him! Juggalos, hatchets high and give it up one time for Mastamind!

Merkules

Riding down on a cold Canadian wind comes he, cold of stature, with even colder delivery. This long shadow cast over Hip-Hop could only belong to the one and only Merkules! We welcome to the first time at the Gathering the Platinum powerhouse whose skills and bullheaded hustle have taken him from humble beginnings to the hallowed halls of Snoop Dogg's Death Row Records! In the time between, Young Merk has been no stranger to rocking Juggalo painted faces, and the stage is set to be rocked once again when this Killa puts The Stompdown and leaves nothing but devastation in his wake!

Ouija Macc

Ever dream of this man? He is the phenomenon that appears to hundreds of sleeping minds every single night. With sallow skin and empty eyes, his visage speaks through an unmoving, rictus grin. A voice ancient, hymnal and inverted, speaking of corruption, of distance, of rot. Warning of a coming dark planet. The Gathering of The Juggalos is the known tribal home where this strange entity is made manifest in the flesh, raising the vibration of all souls in attendance from the lowest lows to the highest heights. It's a performance unlike any other, blessed by the immutable magic of The Dark Carnival, and one that stays with you on a subconscious level long after the music subsides. Juggalos, welcome home once again for the return of Ouija Macc!

Rakim

This year's Gathering is packed to the brim with myths, legends, and monsters. Rarest among them is the artist who could claim the status as all three! Juggalos, let us bow our heads one time before nodding them in honor of one of the greatest to ever grace a microphone. We're talking about the godfather of flow himself: The one and only Rakim! A more-than-worthy edition to any stage, Rakim is as much an ecosystem in the art of rhyming as he is an influence! From crafting one half of the all-time classic "Paid in Full" with Eric B to etching an undeniable legacy in East Coast Hip-Hop and music in general, this pioneer cemented the legitimacy of from-pen-to-page-to-booth-to-stage style the same way Michelangelo carved figures in stone! That's how deep ingrained this man is in the art and culture of it! Juggalos, the Gathering theme might be horror this year, but that's not stopping the stage from being blessed when Rakim steps up for this rare performance!

SCUM & Insane Poetry

The legend of The Denver Snuff House is one that lives in infamy among chroniclers of American crime. A nondescript building in The Five Points neighborhood revealed scenes of grisly torture and dismemberment, with over 35 bodies recovered on scene. Investigators consider the perpetrators to be unsubs, but local rumors point to powerhouse horrorcore rappers Scum and Insane Poetry, collectively known as MMMFD. Lawyers speaking on behalf of their LSP outfit insist the content of their raw raps and resemblance to any crime scene are purely coincidental, which is just enough wiggle room for us to book them to tear the house down at The Gathering of Juggalos! These stalwart friends of The Family have been known to bring a bloody good time no matter what the authorities say, so we welcome them to our celebration of all things wicked at the greatest Juggalo throwdown in the world!

SHAGGYTHEAIRHEAD

Juggalos, let’s all join hands and Grin to the Grave when the Family born-and-bred beat maker rises to the occasion to rock out hard at The Gathering of the Juggalos! This Lazy and Crazy 1930’s cartoon caricature has come to life somehow and now he’s going to make it everyone’s problem when he takes the reigns as the life of the party! Get ready for remixed, re-envisioned, revamped and reinvented versions of Juggalo classics with a newskool oldskool newskool twist as well as familiar hits that are wholly original! Doesn’t make much sense? Sounds like a you problem, bucko. We’re on Juggalo time over here, so enjoy this throwback to the future with Shaggytheairhead and get your Gather on!

Static-X

GOTJ is a place where the inmates are running the asylum, and our team of highly trained (and deranged) Psychopathic staff have cut a prescription for some hard and heavy electroshock therapy, Static-X style! Their industrial-fueled pop culture presence has been as unavoidable as a freight-train, cutting a path to the heights of the nu-metal pantheon like a Grim Reaper's scythe through all lesser performers! From framing an iconic scene in the cult-classic film "Queen of the Damned", to tearing arenas the world over straight to the GROUND with their bombastic stage show, the Project: Regeneration renegades are now poised to dominate The Gathering stage, to accomplish nothing less than rocking Juggalo-painted faces! The presence of The Ostego Undead looms as larger than life as it ever has been, so prepare yourself! These masters of the noise are locked and loaded to conduct a spinning whirlwind of Juggalo bodies! What happens next has to be seen to be believed when the lights go down and Static-X overtakes the stage!

Super Famous Fun Time Guys

That's right Juggalos, the SFFTG are back! The luchadorian lunatics are coming through to kickstart the Gathering and show you a fun time. Representing Long Live Evil, 8Legz and Whipstick are going to take you on a journey of laughter, resentment, and cocaine. You’re stepping into LuchaFlorida this summer. So, break out your lucha masks and fanny packs; you won’t want to miss it as these two try desperately to not kill each other for your enjoyment!

The Dayton Family

You’ve heard their names spoken in tense whispers all across the Midwest. The Flint-town Outlaws. The Mid-Michigan Madmen. Bootleg, Backstabba, and Shoestring: better known as The Dayton Family! When these three notorious MCs hit the stage, they come hard and fast as a jack move, battering the audience with barrage of over-the-top lyrical content that has come to define Hardcore Hip-Hop as we know it! Now the Psychos from Dayton Ave have their sights set on The Gathering of the Juggalos, bringing punishing beats and their badderthan-life personas to the stage with the full intention of rocking your skull clean off your face! Get ready for raw rap from the land where the only thing worse than the attitude is the drinking water, and it’s all going down live at The Gathering of The Juggalos!

The Hatchetman Project

Returning once again to rock The Gathering stage, it's the metal misfits who have been taken over by the spirit of The First 6 Joker's Cards! Their earthly bodies are merely vessels for The Dark Carnival, channeling its message through the instrumental skills inherent to their mortal frames! What your ears are about to receive are full metal arrangements of classic ICP tunes. Songs you know and love dipped in drum and guitar grit and hard enough for you to mosh to! It's time to get up and watch how a Juggalo rocks when The Hatchetman Project throws it down, GOTJ style!

TWISTED INSANE

As the candles burn low and vibrant, speak not, and leave only your offerings of rum and tobacco and bread. The Loa says nothing, but the familiar The Baron sends on his behalf speaks volumes. At a fast pace. Do try to keep up! The Gathering of the Juggalos is proud to present, straight from the sunset land of San Diego, the Sickopotamus himself: Twisted Insane! This Sickbrain savage is everything a Juggalo can admire in an independent powerhouse. From his decidedly dark bent to being celebrated as one of the most accomplished and unfuckwitable in the chopper skillset the world over, Sick James himself is making a rare appearance at The Gathering of the Juggalos for a demonstration on exactly how it's done! The juxtaposition of gritty street life against morbid and even supernatural subject matter is something that might hit home for many Juggalos, but none can do it in the brazy, out-there expression of West Coast wicked that is Twisted Insane!

Vended

Calling all mosh pit monsters, slam-dance savages and bone-on-bone body bashers! This one's for you! The Gathering of the Juggalos is proud to present these nu-metal legends! With punishing percussion, rhythm and bass that move like a mustangs gallop and searing vocals that leave scorch marks in the center of your mind: This is Vended! We're talking a crew that brings the metal like armored knights clashing on a medieval battlefield! With their indomitable stage presence, if you can't mosh to it, you're probably dead already! Vended's pedigree includes the sons of two of the founding members of Slipknot, making it this year's wildcard band to watch! This performance is gearing up to be talked about for Gatherings to come, so come out and witness it for yourself at The Gathering of the Juggalos!

Yung Mo$h

Yung Mo$h is a unique modern blend of hip-hop and rock on the cutting edge of TrapMetal. Be Bold is the motto, and Yung Mo$h does not hold back. Hailing from the 513 Cincinnati, OH, YM has fine-tuned their craft playing house shows, underground clubs, headlining multiple cities, as well as a debut appearance on main stage popular rock festival Inkcarceration. They've also been featured on the Doom Eternal Soundtrack. YM debut single "FACTS" is produced by Richard Wicander of Fire From the Gods and Robby Joyner. The band has the full cosign of industry heavyweights AJ Channer of FFTG and Zoltan Bathory of Five Finger Death Punch. That list is surely going to grow over time. YUNG MO$H had this to say: "FACTS” comes from a real place. We're kicking doors down and nobody can stop us. We are relentless. We've made a move to sign with a label because we felt it was time to take that next step in our careers. Our motto is Be Bold. And like they say Fortune favors the bold. YM is here and that's Facts."
