Whoop Whoop! Was the first thing I heard walking into a sold out Insane Clown Posse show and holy smokes was this one of the most unique shows I have ever attended in my life! Now as someone who was born and raised in Michigan, I was always aware of what to expect at Insane Clown Posse which was having fun, making new friends, and the sweet Faygo getting sprayed all over you! What I did not expect was to get buckets of Faygo dumped on the crowd and oh my goodness were the fans going nuts for it and begging for it! It was insane but it was also so much fun! Another thing that I noticed at this show was there were so many first-timers seeing Insane Clown Posse, including me, and so many of the veteran Juggalos were so helpful and protective. This unique fan base has to be one of the sweetest ones I have ever met! ICP also had this really cool train stage set up which I loved because it fit the name of their tour but also I really did feel like I was on a train of terror, the terror being drowned in Faygo.

With that being said if you have never seen ICP before and want to see them, go do it! I feel like everyone should at least once because you will just have a fun time and can probably make some new friends! But, the Faygo being sprayed into the crowd happens almost every single song which is so fun but can be sticky so I always tell everyone to bring a zip-block bag for your phone and or wallet if you don’t want those soaked. The back will get a little less soaked, but you might still get wet. Also if you are driving far for your show, like an hour + drive like I did, pack a spare change of clothes and keep them in the car, you might wanna change after the show into something….less sticky.

Overall, Insane Clown Posse did not disappoint at all, they played about nineteen songs in total, Shaggy also did one solo song which was “Fuck Off!”. As mentioned, the Faygo happens almost every other song or every song so be warned for the splash zone! I know this tour was a super short Halloween tour but when the Insane Clown Posse tour again or even play a festival, make sure to jump on tickets ASAP because it will probably sell out but also be prepared to have fun, get wet, and scream WHOOP WHOOP at the top of your lungs!
