After the major announcements of bands / artists performing at the Gathering of the Juggalos, Soulfly has posted something on their website letting their fans know about it.  They seem both excited and apprehensive about the performance, but are looking to embrace it!  So Juggalos and Juggalettes…if you are planning on going to the Gathering, then show these legends of the rock genre some love!  Here’s the post from Soulfly.com:

Soulfly to Join Gathering of Juggalos Festival in Illinois

Soulfly will be performing at the 2012 Gathering of the Juggalos, to be held August 8-12 in Cave-in-Rock, Illinois, where it’s been the last few years.

Soulfly’s performance is scheduled for August 9.

The event has been gaining mainstream media attention and getting larger and larger each year, with its organizers, Insane Clown Posse, welcoming hip-hop, hard rock and metal performers, professional wrestlers, and comedians to the event’s multiple stages, including everyone from Ice Cube, George Clinton and Parliament-Funkadelic, and Method Man and Redman to GWAR and Charlie Sheen. And now, Soulfly will be the first Roadrunner Records artist to play for the notoriously volatile juggalo audience, who shower performers with love (and Faygo soda) if they like them and hurl bottles if they don’t.

Says frontman Max Cavalera, “It’s a challenge and at the same time it’s an honor that they specifically asked for Soulfly to play at the festival. We’re gonna give our best show possible and we’re going to fuck shit up at the Gathering of the Juggalos.”
