The three-day camping festival features music on three stages, as well as a campground stage to keep the music going all night long. With onsite camping amenities and unparalleled VIP packages, Rocklahoma lives up to its motto of "Life, Liberty & the Pursuit of Rock."

"DEF LEPPARD has been on the wish list of our most loyal fans since the festival was created back in 2007, and to couple them, one of the most influential British rock bands of the last 30+ years, with SOUNDGARDEN, one of the most respected American rock bands of our generation, is really special for us. Add to the mix some of the hottest developing talent like PIERCE THE VEIL, THE PRETTY RECKLESS, NOTHING MORE and RIVAL SONS, and I think we've accomplished the goal of achieving one of the most diverse festival lineups of the year anywhere. It's going to be a really memorable weekend!"
