Welcome to Gaia! ::

Live Performances

The prophecy began over ten years ago, when the Carnival of Carnage took its place as the first mighty Joker's Card. As the Carnival moved on, the prophecy grew, evolved, spread worldwide and became legend. Whole nations quaked in fear, as the Insane Clown Posse took the world as their stage, warning that the Carnival was coming, and that it would consume all. Now it's 2007, and as the daytime festivities come to a close, and evening falls across Hatchet Landing, a mighty sound builds from the center of the Carnival grounds. Soon the Juggalos will gather before the Main Stage, and their voices will rise with the sounds of wicked music. The lights will come up to reveal thousands of painted faces, and all will know the Carnival HAS come, and it is here! Let those who doubt fall deaf before our mighty sound! Let the show begin!

Insane Clown Posse

Just when you thought it was safe to be near the main stage... BLAAMMM!!! It hits you like a hurricane force wind! The rollercoaster ride leading up to the last performance of the Gathering will seem to be that first hill you climb before you are thrown into so many loops, twists, turns, and curls that you'll be screaming your lungs out, trying not to be hurled off into the cosmos! Violent J and Shaggy 2 Dope are in the front seat, taking you on a Wicked Clown ride that no one has ever witnessed before! As soon as the music starts, your wig will be permanently thrown back, your skin pulled back tight across your face, and your knuckles stark white as you try to withstand the sheer magnitude of what is assaulting your senses. Can you handle the devastation?!?!

Twiztid

The phenoms of the phat freshness are back like a heart attack, bringing to you the sound from the underground that will send you reeling back but wanting more! When Madrox and Monoxide perform, you will soon understand why they are the diabolic duo, ready to put to the test their lyrical skills and take it all up to the next level. If this was ********' Sesame Street, this pair would give you a whole new definition for the letter M: be it with Mirrors, Myths, or Mutants, they bring to you the Mostasteless music to ever rock the urban scene! When they hit the main stage and hit you with that hellacious Twitid sound, you will soon get a whole new perspective on what underground music is all about!

Blaze

Just when you thought it was safe to walk the roads at night, you suddenly feel a grip on your soul as it pulls you down to the ground. You try to run, you try to get away, but it's unavoidable. You just became the victim of the deep-thumpin' bass and hard-hittin' sounds of Psychopathic's favorite dead homie! Just like in the movies, you can't expect this guy to drop no matter what is thrown at him. He'll just rise back up, stronger than ever, and blast you so hard with a language only truly understood on the streets! One Less G in the Hood? Only when we're talkin' about the living breathing gangstas! So keep your pulse in check because when this undead giant of the urban groove gets on stage, you just might join him after the show!

Boondox

Creeping out of the backwoods with an unbridled energy comes a man. If you were at last year's Gathering, you got a glimpse of what he can bring to an outdoor event. It was the time for the Harvest, and he collected the seed he planted in everyone which had grown into a force beyond rekoning with. But that season is now over, and the fruit of his labor has become a bounty. The Punkinhed has a tale for you, brought forth in the southern rap stylings of Boondox! This ain't no alleyway in some urban sprawl! This is out in the open, amongst the trees and hills. The Gathering is his natural element and he is going to bring to you a new twist on the rap scene that will make the forest come alive, its shadows reaching towards you in time with the music. Are you ready?

Necro

This guy's a pioneer of the wicked s**t, who's been doing his thing since the late 90's, and he's put out albums, music videos, and direct-to-video feature films worldwide (check his s**t out here). He runs his own record label, Psycho+Logical-Records, and has opened for such acts as RUN DMC, Beatnuts, Sepultura, Kool Keith, Napalm Death, and Biohazard. He's been pissing off the mainstream, getting Juggalos talking, and keeping it Wicked for awhile now, and the 2007 Gathering is his debut performance at a Psychopathic event! The Underground is comin up as one of the wickedest names in the Underground takes the stage at the wickedest event in Underground music!

Haystak

Haystak started out the same way all Gathering-worthy rappers start, with nothin but a will and some warrants! In this case, the start began in the down-home countryside of Nashville, Tennessee, where there wasn't much place for a big ol' white boy tryin to spit harcore hip-hop. Haystak plowed through the critics like a raging tornado, and after a few years in jail, and a few more workin his extra large a** off, he hooked up with Street Flavor Records, and in 1998 put out his first record, Mak Million. 9 years and 8 albums later, he's critically-praised and working with a new group, Paleface, and making his Gathering debut (back in the countryside!) in front of the one crowd that can truly respect his roots, the Juggalos! Known for ruthless raps with straightforward sincerity, Haystak will be loomin large at the Gathering this year!

Gathering Events

JCW/Slam TV/BLOODYMANIA!!

ICP, Wrestling, and the Gathering go together like a Triple Tripod of Terror! Every Juggalo knows that ICP have wrestled with every major wrestling federation, but with JCW, they get to make all the calls themselves! Their goal is to do it bigger, better, and bloodier than any measly match anywhere else! This year, with JCW and Slam TV, it all slamming together like a 20 man Battle Royale, and the only thing left standing will be the spectacular showdown known as BloodyMania!!! Any who witnessed the Tempest Release Parties know that Slam TV is a wrestling epic in the making. It's a full 20 wrestling shows, through 20 differenet cities, with matches and Superstars too numerous to count! All that blood, sweat, and beating culminates on one night, in one place, and you've got one chance to witness it firsthand. It's right in the middle of your homies, dead center of the biggest event in Juggalo history, and we're saving it for the middle of the night! On Saturday at Midnight the lights will come up on the colossal conclusion to the biggest event in JCW history! Bodies will fly through the trees, voices will rise through the hills, and the river will run with sweat and blood! Hatchet Landing will shake in its wake! Slam TV features legendary wrestlers, and this will be a legendary event! For more wrestling flavor, check out the new JCW website, and to be a part of the flavor, Get your Gathering ticket now!

The Bomb House

We got an announcement y'all have been waiting for, and it's just the first in a cavalcade of flavor we'll be throwin out as the GOTJ takes shape: For 2007 we're bringin back the Bomb House! The notorious second stage makes its glorious return, and you just might find yourself upon it! Think of the Bomb House as an Open Mic, or as an open wound oozing Juggalo freshness! Last year we had over 60 different groups perform at the Bomb House, and we want at least that many in the Hatchet Landings! Get your band back together Juggalos, Round up your bird boys, and put your s**t down on something you can submit to us! We want all groups, all styles, all psychoses, and we want it from you! On Friday of this week (May 25th) we'll have up the complete rules, and a form to print out, which you'll need to send to us with your demo and press kit. We'll be taking submissions until July 20th, so you've got until then to get your s**t tight. If you acquire a coveted slot, we'll contact you, and the Bomb House will be yours for a 15-minute set! It's your chance to rock the Gathering, or suck at the Gathering if you don't freak it! (Bomb House slots are only available to those who have already purchased tickets--stage time is your hookup!)

Foxy Boxing

We've had bouncy boxing, and we have JCW, so you know we're all about some beat downs, but we're also about some half-naked women! This event combines two of the Juggalo world's greatest loves: hot 'lettes and violence. These are some fighters you WANT to see sweaty. So if you're a fine female (or just a badass 'lette we can't tell "No") then come on down and enter the competition. If you're anybody else, then you know you wanna come down and watch! It's safe, secure combat with big padded gloves, but we know these lettes will be goin for blood, and they'll look good doin it!

Juggalo Night Court

Juggalo Court is a staple of the Gathering, and that's cuz it's all about mixing Psychopathic talent with nutty Juggalos, and throwing the results into the craziest Courtroom this side of Bull the Bailiff's bald dome. Got a complaint? Got an issue you need addressed? Found something strange in your pants that you need to show the world? Bring it to Juggalo Night Court and state your case (especially if you're a head case). We'll have some classic Juggalo Court crazies, and this year we'll have SURPRISE PSYCHOPATHIC ARTIST APPEARANCES! You never know who might come down to hear your case, so bring it big! Juggalo Night Court, where the punishments fit the crime, just like a bloody glove!

Texas Hold Em

Due to popular demand, all you poker-los once again will have the chance to throw down against one another in a classic Texas Hold-Em Tournament. We play by the rules, but all expectations go out the window when Juggalos take the tables. These card sharks can smell blood from a mile away! The tournament will be elimination-style, with winners moving on to a final table and the chance to win some devastating prizes. We'll be announcing times, rules, and prizes soon, so keep checking back here for more info.

Celebrity Pig

Rumor has it that the Psychopathic artists all dig some Pig. Stories of the legendary matches that go down outside the Lotus Pod will go down in Juggalo Mythtery! Now you've got a chance to join in and live the legend, and ball alongside some of your favorite Psychopathic artists. Come down to our Ball Arena at the sceduled time, and see if you've got game enough to take on the Psychopathic "Home Team" and come home with Bragging rights and a fresh prize.

Car Show Contest

We got mad love for every Juggalo who brings a ride down to the Hatchet Landings, but some of y'all are bringin that s**t to show it off! Those of you who put in sweat and blood under the hood, at the body shop, or just greasing your monkey, you're gonna have a chance to shine! First up, we'll have a special place for you to park when you get to the Gathering, so everyone can peep your flavor. Then the Psychopathic Dons and Warriors (after much arguing, arm-wrestling, and choking) will pick the overall freshest rides, which will have mighty prizes bestowed upon them. It's a chance to get all that work you did on your wheels noticed, by the Juggalos, by Psychopathic, and by the Dark Carnival itself!
