Insane Clown Posse has made the not-so-insane decision to shutter its annual festival in response to the coronavirus pandemic.

The rap-metal group, known for its facial makeup and colorful following of fans called "Juggalos," announced on Wednesday that this year's Gathering of the Juggalos festival at Nelson Ledges Quarry Park in Ohio has been canceled.

"For 20 consecutive years, the Gathering of the Juggalos has been the biggest family reunion on the planet, generating untold levels of freshness for thousands and thousands of attending Juggalos from all walks of life, all around the world," the group wrote in a tweet.

"With the global pandemic that is now affecting us all, we are dedicated first and foremost to the safety and health of our family," added the group. "That said, at this juncture, it is with a heavy heart we announce that due to the COVID-19 outbreak, we have no choice but to postpone the Gathering until next year."

The duo of rappers, who go by the names Shaggy 2 Dope and Violent J, gained a global following with their brand of absurdist rap and has had fans travel from around the world to attend the annual gathering and participate in a culture that is entirely their own.

In 2017, the 6th Circuit Court of Appeals denied attempts by fans to have their names removed from the FBI's 2011 National Gang Threat Assessment. The group and their fans held a march in Washington, D.C., during the same year to protest the gang designation.

"[T]he bottom line is simply that we REFUSE to risk even ONE Juggalo life by hosting a Gathering during these troubling times," the pair added. "We will endure this together as a Family, and the Gathering of the Juggalos will return in 2021, stronger, bigger, and better than ever! Whoop whoop!"
