Ohio already knows ICP crowds well. The Gathering of the Juggalos, the duo's own multi-day festival for their fans, has been held at Legend Valley in Thornville, Ohio, more than once, including the 25th edition in August 2025, so a Sunday at Historic Crew Stadium is close to home ground. The pair are Violent J and Shaggy 2 Dope from the Detroit area. They've worked through Psychopathic Records, the label they run themselves, and built their records around the Dark Carnival, a mythology spread across a series of "Joker's Card" albums. On a rock-and-metal Sunday they're one of the few rap acts on the bill, along with Waka Flocka Flame.
