You can say that the Insane Clown Posse are the Hootie and the Blowfish or the Silverchair of the rap world. Few are willing to go on record admitting that they've bought their albums or attended their concerts, but yet the duo - comprised of make-up wearing gentlemen Violent J (real name: Joseph Bruce) and Shaggy 2 Dope (real name: Joseph Utsler) - have sold a boatload of records and concert tickets, especially with their annual Gathering of the Juggalos Festival.
And it has been announced that their annual festival, Gathering of the Juggalos, will take place this year in Cave-In-Rock, IL from August 11th through the 14th. Ever the self-promoters, you can treat yourself to a near 30-minute infomercial regarding this years festival by clicking right here.
This year will feature such "main performing artists" as the Insane Clown Possie (of course), as well as Ice Cube, George Clinton, Busta Rhymes, Xzibit, CKY, Kittie, and the amazing talents of both Vanilla Ice and MC Hammer.
Other events and activities include such wrestling events as Bloodymania 4 and Flashlight Wrestling, and stand-up comedy from the likes of Jimmy "JJ" Walker and Brian Posehn, among other potentially fun and/or amusing situations.
