Insane Clown Posse announce long-awaited cross-Canada tour

by Richard Howard

This summer, the Insane Clown Posse will be embarking on a Canadian tour. Juggalos have been losing their shit over the news, because while members of their extended family such as Twiztid have crossed the border to perform, the Wicked Clowns themselves have been unable to do so for about a decade due to their criminal records.

Violent J and Shaggy 2 Dope seem to have gotten everything sorted out (maybe Trudeau is down with the clown?) and are adhering to the ‘go big or go home’ credo with a 17-date jaunt planned. Kicking it off in style, the tour begins on June 24th at Amnesia Rockfest (we can only imagine a horde of Francophone Juggalos will be a memorable sight).

Over the next three weeks, ICP will address the physics behind Faygo spraying and ask deeply probing scientific questions about magnets throughout Ontario, the prairies, and Western Canada.

Like many visiting artists, however, ICP won’t be making the trek out to the East Coast. If you listen closely, you can hear the saddest of heavily accented “Whoop Whoops” coming out of Newfoundland. For the rest of those down with the clown, you can catch the esteemed Eminem adversaries at one of the following dates:
