Juggalo Take Over

Insane Clown Posse graced Dallas, Texas, with their presence once again at The Bomb Factory on September 11, 2025. With over thirty years in the business, these clowns can still put on one hell of a show.

Opening act, JCW (Juggalo Championship Wrestling) was one of the weirdest, yet most fun things I have experienced. From girl fights to “the chocolate Juggalo,” this show did not hold back on the goofiness and entertainment of Juggalo wrestling.

After the eccentric wrestling show, the music began. First musical act, Wakko the Kidd – who truly is a wacko – delivered a high-power performance to get the crowd ready and pumped for ICP. Running back and forth on the stage without running out of breath was truly impressive. The big beach volleyballs were a great way to start the party, as well as keeping all of us photographers in the pit on our toes – literally.

And of course, the act of the night: INSANE CLOWN POSSE. I don’t know how these guys have kept up their energy for as long as they have, but I fully believe it’s 100% because of their fans — their family. I personally am not a huge fan of clowns, but I am a huge fan of humans coming together to enjoy music regardless of where they came from or what they believe in. ICP is the foundation for unity and brotherhood. I felt more than welcomed as a first timer and left with a sense of security and hopefulness for our society.
