Gathering of the Juggalos 2026 has Hatebreed, Sarah Squirm, Vanilla Ic

Vanilla Ice and Milli Vanilli never got to play the Trump’s Freedom 250 fest that was canceled before it could happen, but rest assured, Insane Clown Posse are giving them another chance to share the stage. They’re both part of the lineup for the 2026 Gathering of the Juggalos, and we’re wondering if it’s the biggest troll yet from ICP, who are no fans of Trump (Vanilla Ice, who has played GOTJ before, also goes way back with them).

Making it all the more surreal, Vanilla Ice and Milli Vanilli (featuring Fab Morvan) will perform alongside Hatebreed, ever-weird comedian and SNL castmember Sarah Squirm, and ICP themselves, playing both “Through the Darkness” and “Through the Light” sets.

This year’s lineup also includes The Pharcyde, Butcher Babies, Chris Webby, Diggy Graves, DJ Paul, Esham, Ouija Macc, Tech N9ne, $alamander X, Alla Xul Elu, Darby O’Trill, Jordon Stepp, Klokwerk E, Michael Trapson Glowtown Live, MIDNIGHTINYAMI, Mutanoid Underground Dwellers, Nathan James, Shotgun Willy, Wakko the Kidd, xEIGHTY-SIXEDx, Crossbreed, Kung Fu Vampire, Long Live Evil, LSP’s Devil’s Trident, Hatchetman Project, Muttlee, Auntie Boy, Acid Kult’s Goat God Summoning, MC Lars, Gloom Unit, Bible Belt Massacre, Big Chronic, Carbs, Jayne Dough, Riddy K, Sleep Lyrical, Sp@d3z, Stray & Novls, and Swift Homicide.

The ever-debaucherous fest also has Lunacy Live and Bloodymania wrestling, 17 Layers of Hell’s Pit Hot Wing Eating Contest, 2 Tuff Tony’s Fishing Tournament, costume, face, and body painting contests, a Faygo-launching contest, Flowmaster Rap Battle, a lingerie contest, the Miss and Mr. Juggalette and Juggalo Pageants, the Queen of Cheeks contest, a wet t-shirt contest, gladiatorial combat, and more.

After spending most of the last decade at Thornville, Ohio’s Legend Valley, this year’s Gathering happens in Macks Creek, MO at Mother Nature’s Riverfront Retreat on August 19-22. Tickets are on sale now, and you can see lots of pictures from last year by Nate “Igor” Smith below.
