For the first time in its 20-year history, the Gathering of the Juggalos has been canceled, due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
"For 20 consecutive years, the Gathering of the Juggalos has been the biggest family reunion on the planet, generating untold levels of freshness for thousands and thousands of attending Juggalos from all walks of life, all around the world," the duo said in a tweet."With the global pandemic that is now affecting us all, we are dedicated first and foremost to the safety and health of our family.
The group said the decision was made with the owners of Nelson Lodges Quarry Park, where the Gathering was set to take place. ICP said they didn't want to risk any Juggalo lives, but the festival would return in 2021!"[T]he bottom line is simply that we REFUSE to risk even ONE Juggalo life by hosting a Gathering during these troubling times," the band said in the tweet.
Shaggy 2 Dope and Violent J of Insane Clown Posse perform live in front of a sold out crowd at The Emerson Theater on October 27, 2017 in Indianapolis. ICP said the decision to cancel this year's event was made with the owners of Nelson Lodges Quarry Park, where the Gathering was set to take place.
