Rocklahoma 2018

Rocklahoma kicked off the summer over Memorial Day weekend 2018, running May 25–27 on the Catch the Fever Festival Grounds in Pryor, Oklahoma, just outside Tulsa. Hosted, as always, by SiriusXM’s Eddie Trunk, the weekend spanned generations of hard rock and metal across multiple stages.

Maynard James Keenan’s A Perfect Circle opened the festival Friday, Godsmack brought the pit Saturday, and glam-metal icons Poison closed it out Sunday. In between came a genuinely eclectic bill — The Cult, Stone Temple Pilots, Cheap Trick and Vince Neil for the classic-rock faithful; Ghost, Trivium, Underoath, Clutch and Sevendust for the heavier crowd; and Halestorm, The Used, Machine Gun Kelly and Cinderella’s Tom Keifer bridging the eras.

True to Rocklahoma tradition, the music was only half the story: days of red-dirt camping, campground parties and community turned a patch of northeastern Oklahoma into a rock-and-roll pilgrimage. Browse the full day-by-day lineup, festival info and our coverage below.
