Breaking News: Rocklahoma Side Stages Collapse

PRYOR, Oklahoma - Two side stages collapse at Rocklahoma 2008 when a severe summer storm blasted the area. The Tulsa World reports one person sustained a broken arm.

The severe storm sent thousands of people to tents for cover, most seeking refuge in the "VIP" tent. Despite the storm, only concert attendees with wristbands were allowed into the VIP tent, perhaps the most sturdy structure at Rocklahoma. Strong wind gusts whipped through the area, peeling apart tent flaps, allowing rushing water into the area.

The Tri-Label and Retrospect Records stages both completely collapsed. Damage estimates are unknown.

Thousands of attendees trampled through standing water, uncertain of the evening's outcome. 

Update: concert has resumed as of 8:44 C.S.T.

Lance, you were a hero. You responded astoundingly. You saved the day. You rose to the occasion. I love you.

I hear Bourgeois Pigs (Michael Guy from House Of Lords, Jake E Lee from Ozzy, KK from Trans Siberian Orchestra, Ken Mary also from House Of Lords) are playing this year (2011). Can anyone confirm this?
