Insane Clown Posse Announce October "Fall Madness" Tour--Multiple Sold-Out Dates

  FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE DETROIT, MI – October 7, 2025 The Insane Clown Posse is loading up the map for their Fall Tour, and the energy behind it feels different this time. Restless. Inevitable. Like thunder that’s been saving itself for years. The streets are already buzzing—Denver, CO, Portland, OR, and Columbia, MO have gone SOLD OUT, while Anaheim, CA, Las Vegas, NV, and Detroit, MI are right on the edge, barely a breath from the same fate. Every ticket gone is another piece of the ritual locking into place. Every city a new spark before the blaze. Because this tour doesn’t end quietly. It leads to Detroit, to the concrete heart of the underground—the birthplace, the battleground, the promised land. And on October 31st, it all erupts at the 32nd Annual Hallowicked Clown Show inside the hallowed halls of the Masonic Temple. That night, the city itself becomes part of the show, the walls breathing, the Juggalos chanting, the clowns returning home to finish what the road began. It’...

Review & Photos: GWAR, Helmet, Savage Master

  The one-and-only legendary, controversial, theatrical, intergalactic warlords and grotesquely costumed shock rockers GWAR—who have always brought humorous satirical horror antics through performance art to stages and have traditionally drenched fans (via fake blood from barbaric beheadings, limb removal and liquids from fake disembowelments of celebrities and political figures) since the mid-80s; yes, 40 years—visited Cleveland, Ohio’s Globe Iron on Sunday, Sept. 21; touring in support of the filthy thrash metal band’s latest release:  The Return Of Gor Gor  (Pit Records). Beca Stein (OOTB Publications)  documented the chaos and carnage: SO MUCH BLOOD!   Massacre!  Self-sacrifice from the front row!  Never a dull moment when GWAR stomps in town… or plummets into the galaxy from hell or space!?   The aliens give no mercy on those who continue to corrupt and destroy Earth.  Blood Vulture brought the stage to life with theater and aw...
