It is the 17th year for this 3-day outdoor camping rock festival which takes place in the prairie of Prior, Oklahoma near Tulsa. Godsmack, Rob Zombie, and Limp Bizkit are Rocklahoma veterans, but this will be the first time Texas powerhouse thrash metal band Pantera plays Rocklahoma.

Although Rocklahoma veterans Slipknot will not be headlining this year, Corey Taylor will bring his new band and promote his new album CMF2, which follows his previous albums CMFT (Corey M***er F***ing Taylor) and CMFB Sides. “Couldn’t be more stoked to include Rocklahoma in our first major leg for CMF2!” exclaims Taylor. “We’ll be playing brand new tunes, plus CMFT, Slipknot, Stone Sour, everything under the sun!”
Godsmack will be promoting their new album Lighting Up the Sky which was released on February 24, 2023. Their first album since 2018, Lighting Up the Sky contains the debut single “Surrender,” which soared to No. 1 on active rock radio back in November 2022.
