<P> In February 2014, it was announced that the Gathering would be moving from its home at Cave - in - Rock to a family Campground in Kaiser, Missouri . However, several local citizens vigorously protested the Gathering being held in this location and the event had to be moved once more . It was reported by Insane Clown Posse themselves that locals had started a petition to keep the Gathering out of their area and flooded the owners of the campground with angry phone calls . Finally, a self - professed Juggalo referred to as Steve (who had previously been to the Gathering himself) contacted Psychopathic Records and offered the 120 - acre Legend Valley as a place to host the event . Legend Valley (located in Thornville, Ohio) was officially chosen as the Gathering's venue for 2014 . In a statement by Psychopathic Records in the February 28, 2014 edition of the Hatchet Herald, it was said that "Mere hours after the news begin spreading that Kaiser, Missouri would not welcome the Juggalo Family, we began receiving phone calls and emails from interested land owners and promoters who wanted to help ensure that the Gathering of the Juggalos found a home . One of the calls we got was from a down ass ninja named Steve who owns the Legend Valley . (...) Steve has actually been to the Gathering of the Juggalos before and is not buying into the media's portrayal of what the Gathering is because he has been there . He has expressed to us that he is super down to host the Gathering this year and has always found Juggalos to be cool ass people . He also believes in our fight alongside the ACLU to have Juggalos removed from the FBI gang list, which is still on the list as a "loosely organized hybrid gang" because their sorry ass case was thrown out of court in 2014 . In other words, he has our backs and is the perfect ninja we needed to ensure an awesome, trouble - free Gathering this year ." </P> <P> Legend Valley, Ohio hosted the fifteenth annual Gathering of the Juggalos, which took place between July 23, 2014 and July 27, 2014 . Advertised as "Shangri - La on Earth", this Gathering has over 70 artists scheduled to perform, including the entire Psychopathic Records roster and several notable guests such as Twiztid, Blaze Ya Dead Homie, Cypress Hill, Cannibal Corpse, Kottonmouth Kings, Tech N9ne, Da Mafia 6ix, and other artists . Also scheduled to perform are several comedians, including (most notably) Gilbert Gottfried . Three special parties are planned for the gathering: Kuma's Psychopathic All - Star Party, DJ Clay's Horney Nuts and Big Butts Party, and the Frothy Murder Mix Foam Party . Alongside all these events will be dance competitions, several contests, and Juggalo Championship Wrestling events (including JCW's Road to Bloodymania and Bloodymania 8), plus carnival rides, the annual ICP seminar, auctions, and more . In addition, it was announced via the Insane Clown Posse's Twitter account that there was to be a new Dark Lotus album slated for the 2014 Gathering . </P> <P> 2016 was the last year the Gathering of the Juggalos was to be held at Legend Valley . It was announced at the Insane Clown Posse seminar at Legend Valley, they are pursuing the Gathering of the Juggalos to be held in Colorado in 2017 . On April 11, 2017, Faygoluvers.net announced that GOTJ18 will be held in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma at the Lost Lakes Ampitheater on July 26th through July 29th . </P> <P> Over the years, several hundred artists have performed at the Gathering of the Juggalos .
