Watch the new Gathering Of The Juggalos infomercial

by Aaron Zorgel

It’s like Christmas Eve for ‘los, ‘lettes, and ironic appreciators everywhere. The official 2013 Gathering Of The Juggalos infomercial just dropped, and just like last year, there’s more than a few chuckleworthy moments courtesy of Violent J, Shaggy 2 Dope, and the rest of the Psychopathic Records fam. Don’t worry, everyone… Sugar Slam is definitely “up in this bitch” again, too.

It’s always interesting to see which non-Juggalo artists will be performing at the Gathering. This year, the festival will fill their nu-metal quota with Sevendust, the Kottonmouth Kings, and Soulfly, and a few legit hip-hop names will roll through Cave-In-Rock, Illinois from August 7th to 11th, including Onyx, Rahzel, and Tech N9ne. There’s even a bit of Canadian love on the festival lineup this year, with Swollen Members on the bill. No word if Moka Only will also bring it home. Oh, and Vanilla Ice will be there, too. Obviously.

These artists will be joined by a cast and crew of Psychopathic mainstays, including ICP, Twiztid, Blaze Ya Dead Homie, and Boondox, as well as a laundry list of lower-tier juggalo acts that, quite frankly, sound made up, including Zug Izland, Myzery, Potluck, and Big HooDoo.

The non-musical events, seminars, and assorted attractions are predictably wacky. For the price of admission (it’ll run you $175 for the weekend), you can enjoy freak shows, DJ Clays [sic] Horney [sic] Nuts And Big Butts Party, the Miss Juggalette contest, Slick Chix Oil Wrestling, 2-Tough-Tony’s Fishing Tournament, a Faygo Launching contest, and a 24-Hour “Peep This Shit” stage. Woop woop! So much wicked shit.

Check out the infomercial above if you have half an hour to waste, and if you’re down with the clown, buy tickets here. Oh, and before we forget: R.I.P. Ass Dan.
