Rocklahoma Predictions

rocklahomalogo.jpgThere are 234 days until Rocklahoma 2008. While ticket prices have already gone up, and the front VIP section is nearly sold-out...without a single band announcement! I just called Rock Fever, and the receptionist told me those bands will be announced the beginning of next month. My assumption is that the announcement will be much like last year: a few trickles here and there, right up until July 2008.

That's fine with me: the announcements give me something to look forward to and to write about.

At any rate, here are my official predications for Rocklahoma 2008. We'll see how many I get correct.

Whitesnake (headliner)
Iron Maiden (headliner)
Def Leppard (headliner)
Poison
Gypsy Pistoleros
Steelheart
Britny Fox
Pretty Boy Floyd (a reunited, original line-up)
Jet Boy
Vains of Jenna
Sweet FA
Firehouse
Fastway
Saigon Kick
Sebastian Bach

Some of these are givens (Steelheart, Gypsy Pistoleros), others are out of left field (Saigon Kick, Sweet FA, Iron Maiden).

Would you pay $325 for this line-up? Remember, more than 30 bands perform over the four day festival. While organizers hope to bring all new bands for 2008, I will guarantee a handful of repeats right here, right now. In my own world, I'd love to see Aerosmith and Motley Crue (with Tommy Lee on drums), but I'd say both these very expensive bands are just wishful thinking.

So, what are your Rocklahoma 2008 predictions?

Would love to see the reunited Shark Island. They were one of the best live bands I've seen. With some old songs from Law of the Order and new ones from Gathering of the Faithful. They should have been huge!!!!

Just got word that one of my favorite Philly bands fron the 80's, WHITEFOXX, is playing at Rocklahoma on Friday, July 11th at 3:45pm. They used to play at all of the Philly area clubs with Cinderella. Jeff LaBar from Cinderella played guitar in Whitefoxx...Tony Harnell from TNT was their original lead singer. Great band, cool songs.
