With just more than three weeks to go before their thirteenth annual event, "Gathering of the Juggalos" organizers late last week released a 23-minute video promoting their upcoming festival and its full lineup.
The video frames the festival as a secure escape from a world "over taken [sic] by mindless zombies unable to develop their own opinion of anything:"
"Harbored deep within the woods of Cave In Rock, Illinois, are living, breathing free thinkers [sic] who have constructed a compound of freshness for their kind to not only survive within but also to flourish."
That "compound" consists of the Aug. 8-12 festival, which this year features, in addition to the Insane Clown Posse and a smattering of Psychopathic Records acts of course, Cheech and Chong, Raekwon, DMX, George Clinton and the Parliament Funkadelic, Master P, Biz Markie, Danny Brown, Three 6 Mafia, a reunion of The Geto Boys, Fear Factory, comedian Jamie Kennedy and the wrestler Ric Flair.
The event will also include a barbecue where cheeseburgers will be thrown at your face plus, you'd better believe it, a whole bunch of Faygo.
Past juggalo gatherings have grabbed headlines. At the 2011 event, host Charlie Sheen was pelted by fans and during the 2010 event, Tila Tequila was also attacked.
Confused as to what a juggalo is? Filmmaker Sean Dunne's 2011 documentary will help shed some light on the subject.
Will you be getting tickets to this event? They'll set you back at least $175.
