Here’s a list of confirmed acts for this year’s Memorial Day fest.
Having covered Pryor’s Rocklahoma for certain competing publications in the past, I am both highly aware of and terrified by the sort of person who eagerly attends the festival, which is sort of an amalgamation of sweaty, cock-rocking big-billers of the past with the most vulgar alt-rockers of the more recent past and more modern rockers who aren’t quite pretty enough to get on the Warped Tour.
That said, here’s this year’s lineup, announced at 8 a.m. today. Note that The Darkness (yes, thatThe Darkness) is included in the May 25-27 bill. Road trip, to northeast Oklahoma, anybody?
