Rocklahoma 2025 promises to be an electrifying experience for rock fans, boasting a robust lineup headlined by industry titans Five Finger Death Punch, Breaking Benjamin, Shinedown, and more. Set to take place from August 29 to August 31 at the Rockin’ Red Dirt Ranch Festival Grounds in Pryor, Oklahoma, this event continues its legacy as the most anticipated Labor Day party for fans of rock and metal music.

Rocklahoma is celebrated for its eclectic mix of legendary bands and new talents, and 2025 is no different. This year’s lineup features an impressive array of explosive acts, including the likes of Alice Cooper, and 311, each bringing their unique style to the festival’s three stages.

Attendees are in for a treat with an enriching festival experience at the Rockin’ Red Dirt Ranch, known for its extensive camping facilities and VIP packages aimed at enriching the experience beyond just the live music. Glamping and RV lodging enhance the community spirit that Rocklahoma is famous for, as fans gather not just to witness live performances but to engage in a communal celebration of the music they love. The festival atmosphere is further enriched by the renowned Thursday Night Throwdown Kick-Off Concert, which includes performances by Dee Snider, Trixter, and a surprising guest yet to be revealed.

Breaking Benjamin follows up the energy of Five Finger Death Punch with their headline performance on Saturday, supported by Canadian rockers Three Days Grace. Their performances will be bolstered by acts known for their high-energy shows, including Knocked Loose and Tom Morello, promising a full day packed with vigorous music. Sunday sees Shinedown closing out the festival with their trademark dynamic performance, ensuring the weekend ends on a high note.

The anticipation for this year’s lineup has led to a frenzy of ticket sales, which began on February 28, appealing not only to local rock lovers but also drawing an international crowd, reflecting the festival’s global allure. General admission weekend passes start at an accessible price of $199.99, with VIP packages offering various amenities for those seeking a premium experience.
