The lineup for the 2026 ‘Gathering Of The Juggalos‘ festival has been firming up as of late. This year’s edition finds the annual Insane Clown Posse-backed event taking place in the new location of Macks Creek, MO from August 19th to August 23rd. When it comes to heavier acts, metalcore mavens Hatebreed are among those who have signed up for the event, having been booked to play the Kraken Stage of the event.
Among the other numerous artists booked to play that stage are Insane Clown Posse themselves, as well as TechN9ne, Vanilla Ice, The Pharcyde and more. Industrialized nü-metal band Crossbreed and shock rockers Bible Belt Massacre are among those set to play the Cyclone Stage.
You can find the rest of the artists announced thus far over at juggalogathering.com. Insane Clown Posse said of Hatebreed‘s participation this year:
“Batten down the hatches and prepare for rough waters! Slamming down on The Gathering of the Juggalos like a heavy metal anchor bracing a brigantine against a treacherous storm blasts the Earth-shattering sound of none other than Hatebreed! For twenty years and some change, Hatebreed has come to define the sound of modern American hardcore with a musical footprint that has inspired generations of imitators as well as legions of rabid fans!
Far from mindless aggression, Jamey Jasta‘s distinctive shout carve into the very air lyrics of thoughtful defiance, self empowerment and palpable challenges to the systems and illusions of daily civilization! All forged in steel behind abrasive chords framing deadly breakdowns, in true hardcore fashion! Hatebreed is ready to move the Juggalos into an absolute pit frenzy, so your only option is to brace yourself or get out of the way!”
