The annual Gathering of the Juggalos festival brings more than music to all Juggalo attendees. This article points out the alternate activities available like Helicopter Rides, Bonfires, artist seminars, Juggalo Championship Wrestling, Wet tee shirt and Ms. Juggalette contests.
In today’s musical economy, you’re lucky to be a band that’s invited to join a music festival lineup. Festivals are blowing up in terms of popularity, so much so that nearly every major music festival in 2011 saw record attendance. To be on one of those bills could do a lot for your career, but to create an entire festival? That’s just crazy talk. Or is it? One band has been doing just that for 12 years
Horror Rap duo Insane Clown Posse has unarguably the largest cult following of any similar sounding act in the entire country. The reasons for that are many, but it’s safe to say the fact that they have their own annual festival where fans (Juggalos) can meet up every year goes a long way in solidifying those fans’ loyalty. Of course, I’m talking about the Gathering of the Juggalos!
Producing a Music Festival
There’s nothing easy about producing a music festival, especially one as involved as Gathering of the Juggalos. Location, artists, security, vendors, permits, scheduling, promotion, insurance, and stage setup are just some things that have to be taken into consideration by curators like Insane Clown Posse in planning. And if you don’t sell as many tickets as you need to in order to make a profit, it can be a very expensive loss.
Insane Clown Posse hosted their first Gathering of the Juggalos music festival in 2000 after several years of talk and planning surrounding the event. It’s hugely successful today, but even a band as large as Insane Clown Posse had to fight and endure trial and error over the years to bring Gathering of the Juggalos to its current level of success.
Music vs. Events
Of course, the artists playing the festival will be the most important selling point to potential festival-goers. This year’s Gathering of the Juggalos festival was loaded with talented horror rap acts, and enough Juggalos to satisfy your social desires until Insane Clown Posse’s next Gathering of the Juggalos festival rolls around. But what makes the Gathering more original than any other music festival around the country isn’t the music; it’s the on-site activities.
