Rocklahoma 2008 Lineup Announced

Catch the Fever Music Festivals has announced the artists that will perform at the 2nd Annual Rocklahoma Music Festival, featuring 80’s era rock. The four-day event will take place July 10-13, 2008 in Pryor.  

Queensryche (Geoff Tate, Michael Wilton, Eddie Jackson, Scott Rockenfield and Mike Stone) will perform their 1988 concept album “Operation: Mindcrime” in its entirety. The epic theatrical presentation will cover all fifteen songs from the album including such fan favorites as "Revolution Calling," "Operation: Mindcrime," "I Don't Believe In Love" and the closing track, "Eyes Of A Stranger."

The band's headlining performance of “Operation: Mindcrime” at this year's four-day Rocklahoma festival will celebrate the 20th Anniversary of its release and will be the only performance of its type in the United States this year. “Working with the actors and creating different scenes helps us to really tell the story and draw the audience in,” says Geoff Tate, lead vocalist for Queensryche.

Although the current lineup is subject to change as bands are added in the upcoming weeks, Rocklahoma’s current scheduled lineup on the main stage is:  

	Thursday, July 10 marks the opening night and kicks off with Bret Michaels, Sebastian Bach, Dokken, LA Guns featuring Tracii Guns, Enuf Z Nuff, Vain, House of Lords and Jet Boy. Only guests who purchase three-day tickets will be allowed admittance to this show.
