Rocklahomais located just 45 minutes northeast of Tulsa, in Pryor, OK.  The “Catch the Fever” Festival Grounds is a premier destination for a multi-day festival and includes on-site camping with access to restrooms and shower house, a general store for campers, VIP reserved seating, hospitality areas and much more.

Established in 2007 as a classic rock destination festival with the motto “life, liberty and the pursuit of rock,” Rocklahoma was revamped in 2010 as organizers teamed with AEG Live to create an event encompassing a much broader mix of classic, current and up-and-coming rock artists. In 2011, a record-breaking crowd of over 35,000 fans turned out for the festival, which raised over $10,000 for the American Red Cross as part of their tornado relief efforts in nearby Joplin, MO.  The festival celebrates its 6^th year in 2012.

A long way to travel just to see Slash. Ok, maybe that's a little too harsh. I'm sure that Chickenfoot is cool, and I know that QR and Jackyl will put on a good show. I miss 2007 and 2008.

[Sleaze Rocker]

My thoughts exactly I went the first 3 years and really enjoyed the genre of 80s bands that played but as soon as they changed the format I stopped going it totally lost its magic, I will stick with M3

[Jendell]

Check out Sunset Riot from Australia. Great band. They are playing my birthday on March 10th in Adelaide

[Kixchix]

wen in 2008 and 2009. '08 rocked '09 was just ok.

from new york. too far to travel for this lineup. bring back the '07 lineup and i'm there.

chickenfoot is cool, slash, cool, wr cool but not worth the effort. checkin em out locally. rockla has had a good run though

[Will]

The festival would be gone if it continued the 80s only style. It was great in '07 and '08 but it had to change in order to survive

[ricksav65]

I wish I had gone in '07. I did go in '08 and loved it! Since then the lineup hasn't been good, so I don't see myself going again. Oh well, the Monsters of Rock cruise sets sail in 8 days and I will be there!

[Kari]

Pretty impressed with them booking Chickenfoot and the return of Jackyl, but for most of us ROCKLAHOMA Vets.....I think its safe to say the following 3 words: DONE WITH PRYOR!

[Brian L]

I went in 09 and had a blast. I had never been around so much music and fun. Plus the lineup was amazing. Sooo many bands that I love and hadnt seen. Plus...that is were I discovered Wildstreet!!!!
Thank God, I went when I did...the next yr was all changed.

[Metalboy!]

The sleeper act here is The Darkness.

Killer Band!

[toddwiggy]

without a doubt if anybody is going dont miss Darkness...I saw them on Friday night in Vegas and it was unbelievably good...they sound better live than on record...saw Crue on Wed night and it was a great spectacle, and I saw Steel Panther in Hollywood on Monday night, and laughed until I had tears,...what a week!...now to wrap my head around going to work in the morning....
