Woop woop. Following the much-hyped, much-mocked by Internet detractors (including, uh, me?) “Gathering of the Juggalos” festival, cult favorite duo Insane Clown Posse are set to play the Grove of Anaheim on September 27. Tickets to see Violent J and Shaggy 2 Dope are on sale this Saturday at noon, and $27.50-$30. The tour is behind their new album out September 1, Bang Pow Boom, heralded as “the return of the Dark Carnival.” Finally!

Also coming to the Grove: Dropkick Murphys on November 8; that's on sale Saturday at noon for $25-$27.50. The “Playing for Change” show (with Mohammed Alidu, Tal Ben Ari, Clarence Bekker and more) is November 14. Tickets for that are $35-$45, and, yep, available Saturday at noon.
