Rocklahoma 2020

Rocklahoma 2020 never happened. The self-styled “Bring Your Metal to the Middle” festival, staged each year on the Pryor Creek Music Festival Grounds in Pryor, Oklahoma, was originally booked for May 22-24, 2020 with a heavyweight bill led by Slipknot, Five Finger Death Punch and Staind. As the COVID-19 pandemic shut down live music across the country, organizers first postponed the event and then, in April 2020, officially pulled the plug. Pass holders who bought through ticketing partner Elevate were offered the choice of transferring their credentials to the 2021 edition or taking a full refund.

The cancellation broke a long streak for one of America’s premier destination rock festivals, known for its Memorial Day weekend campouts and dusty Oklahoma mosh pits. The lineup that would have been never took the stage, and fans had to wait until Labor Day weekend 2021 for Rocklahoma’s return. Browse the lineup and festival info below.
