DETROIT — "SNL" star Sarah Sherman is on board with this year's Gathering of the Juggalos, rounding out a lineup of more than 70 artists and performers that includes Vanilla Ice, the Pharcyde, Esham, Tech N9ne, trap-themed Michael Jackson impersonator Michael Trapson, Three Six Mafia's DJ Paul and Milli Vanilli featuring Fab Morvan.

Insane Clown Posse will headline the 26th annual festival, which unfolds in the Ozarks at Mother Nature's Riverfront Retreat in Macks Creek, Missouri — about three hours southeast of Kansas City — Aug. 19-22.

Tickets, $295 for general admission, are available online at the festival's website.

VIP upgrades, which include a meet-and-greet with ICP, are available for $150; a $350 "Campfire Stories Extravaganza Bonanza" package is also available, which includes access to "a late-night fireside hour-long backstage chat" with ICP's Violent J and Shaggy 2 Dope.

In addition to three stages of music, the festival will host an array of activities, including but not limited to pro wrestling matches, a flea market, a hot wing eating tournament, a fishing competition, a movie tent, Juggalo Bingo, a rap battle, a Faygo launching contest, a dating game, a pair of pageants, late-night parties and more.

There will also be open swimming, a video game tent, river rides, a BBQ, meditation opportunities, a wine mixer and sobriety meetings.

ICP will perform two sets at the festival, one focusing on dark, heavy music, the other on the lighter side of its catalog. They will be held Aug. 20 and Aug. 22.

This year marks the first time the annual festival is being held in the Ozarks. The Gathering of the Juggalos was held in Thornville, Ohio, from 2021 until 2025; previous locations for the fest include Cave-in-Rock, Illinois; Springville, Indiana; Oklahoma City; and Novi, which hosted the inaugural Gathering of the Juggalos in summer 2000.

Insane Clown Posse will release a new project with Wakko the Kidd, "Bizerker 187," on July 22.
