PRYOR, OK — Only one week after announcing plans for ROCKLAHOMA, the largest 80’s rock festival of it’s kind to ever be organized, an onslaught of fans worldwide have purchased tickets and made their plans to travel to Oklahoma. Fans from throughout Europe, Australia, South Africa, Canada and 32 states in the U.S. have purchased their advanced tickets and flooded blogs with ROCKLAHOMA discussions. The momentum of increasing interest and ticket sales may indicate that even with the festival grounds’ 50,000-plus capacity, fans waiting to buy their tickets until the last minute may come up empty-handed, said Dave Giencke, Director of Operations for Catch the Fever Music Festivals.



“It’s an amazing response. People from all over the world are wondering where Pryor, Oklahoma is. When I googled ‘ROCKLAHOMA,’ this one-of-a-kind music festival and the city of Pryor are mentioned in over 39,000 web sites on the worldwide web,” Giencke said. “All I can say is anyone that wants to be a part of ROCKLAHOMA better get their tickets now it appears ROCKLAHOMA will exceed all expectations in attendance.”



A three-day festival, scheduled for July 13–15, already has a line-up that surpasses any previous festival of 80’s rock. With VH-1 Classic Host, Eddie Trunk, serving as Master of Ceremonies, ROCKLAHOMA organizers have confirmed the following line-up:

Friday, July 13: Poison, Ratt, Quiet Riot, Slaughter and Y&T;

Saturday, July 14: Vince Neil, Dokken, Winger, Warrant, Firehouse, Enuff Z Nuff,Faster Puss.ycat, Bulletboys and Bang Tango;

Sunday, July 15: Jackyl, Great White and LA Guns.



Even as beginning ticket sales were exceeding expectations and word of ROCKLAHOMA was spreading quickly, more bands were joining the line-up.



“Fans that have already purchased tickets have a bonus being added. ROCKLAHOMA will be announcing four additional bands to the line-up in the coming weeks,” Giencke said.



Discounted tickets for ROCKLAHOMA are available through Monday April 9th and are: $30 for one day general admission, $70 for three day general admission and $225 VIP Tickets, good for all three days, with VIP seating and all the beer and food you can eat. Tickets can be purchased by calling toll free (866) 310-2288 or online at www.rockfeverfest.com. ROCKLAHOMA will take place at the Catch the Fever Festival Grounds, four miles north of Pryor, OK, off Highway 69. Event grounds and lodging information can also be found at the website.



Presented by Rock Fever and Miller Lite, ROCKLAHOMA gives people from all over the world an opportunity to join in the celebration of Oklahoma’s one hundred years of statehood. The state is marking the Oklahoma Centennial with events taking place across the state during 2007 and culminating with Oklahoma Statehood Day on November 16, Giencke explained

One of the Rumors about is that Damnocracy is being added... that's Sebastian Bach, Ted Nugent, Scot Ian, Jason Bohnam, and Evan Seinfield

OMG! I had heard something about this......it is like they had me in mind when they organized it. And seeing how many shows I am trying to see this summer ( 10 year anniversary of 1997, the year of the many shows for me) this would put me way over the top! Nice lineup, some great bands! Dokken! Too bad George is no longer in the band.

So far this year I have seen...

METAL CHURCH
SLAYER
DRAGONFORCE
CHIMAIRA

Scheduled to see the following....
BLACK SABBATH
MEGADETH
MACHINEHEAD
THE POLICE
RUSH
POISON/RATT

and whatever else happens to come to town, or Denver.

I've noticed that Great White is playing in an outdoor Venue....


hmmmmmm


But really, Oklahoma is CLOSE!

Maybe 9-10 hours... possibly a bit more (http://maps.google.com/maps?q=mapquest&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a&um=1&sa=N&tab=wl)

You should totally get a group of people who are as old as you together and grow out a mullet and go!

No on the mullet.......but you are correct, it is not THAT far away....hmmmmmmm.....

Wonder if there is a way to win tickets for anyone who was alive when these bands were popular? ( Major League reference)

I also saw recently on Yahoo there was a 80's hair band trivia contest but I was not able to access it out here at the base.

Sounds like a massive congregation of "bad" to me...

Wow! What a lineup, it's like a listing of bands from the Headbager's Ball! Oklahoma must have gotten a special dispensation from the EPA for the amount of Hairspray that will be used in one location.

Troy,

I'd be up for going to Sabbath and the Police. When are those concerts?

I got my tickets for the Black Sabbath already. Jason M, his wife, and myself are going. I don't think the show sold out yet. It is April 29th at the Broomfield Event Center.

The Police is sold out, both shows from what I gather. Sanger got me a ticket awhile back. That show is June 9th.

Wow, that is a great lineup.

My first metal show was 1984. I was a Junior in High School. It was Krokus with special guest Dokken. Dokken kicked butt and Krokus was good, epsecially when the rhythm guitarist climbed up on the speakers adn then promptly fell off. Band never missed a beat. :D

In the future Jim please specify which Old Man you are talking about. As there are some people who frequent the forum who are older than Troy.

You may think you're older then Troy... but you're not.

Besides if I say "Old man" the appropriate Old man knows to whom I'm speaking.

It's true, he is correct in that statement.

Hmmmm...Ratt should almost have the entire original line-up wit hthe excpetion of Robbin Crosby ( RIP). I am not sure who is in Quiet Riot with Kevin Dubrow anymore. Probably the drummer Frankie Banali. Faster Pussycat should be the original lineup as should be Bang Tango. Y&T would be great to go see.
