Established in 2007 as a classic rock destination festival with the motto “life, liberty and the pursuit of rock,” Rocklahoma was revamped in 2010 as organizers teamed with AEG Live to create an event encompassing a much broader mix of classic, current and up-and-coming rock artists. In 2011, a record-breaking crowd of more than 35,000 fans turned out for the festival, which raised more than $10,000 for the American Red Cross as part of tornado relief efforts for nearby Joplin, Mo.
The festival celebrates its sixth year in 2012.
