A WEEKEND OF MILESTONES:
Record Online Reach:
Rocklahoma's online presence erupted this year with over 4 million in social media engagement and participation more than doubled, with fans devouring backstage clips, pit footage, and fan-shot festival moments and the debut of "Rocklahoma Live," the festival's official backstage broadcast.
CAPTURING THE MOMENTS:
The Rocklahoma content team, led by Mike and Chantal Savage of Vision Savage Media (Kansas City, MO), delivered wall-to-wall coverage that drove record engagement. From pit-level Knocked Loose footage to cinematic artist and crowd shots, their work helped Rocklahoma dominate social feeds all weekend long.
Unstoppable Crowd Energy:
Even a torrential Sunday rainstorm couldn't slow Rocklahoma down. Instead, thousands turned the grounds into a mud-soaked rave, moshing and dancing in the pits like it was part of the show.

OPENING THE FESTIVAL: COLLIER CASH:
Every morning began with Collier Cash, the teenage guitarist who went viral after being invited onstage by the Foo Fighters, delivering a searing live rendition of the National Anthem. His goosebump-inducing performances became a Rocklahoma ritual, reminding fans that before the amps roar, rock still salutes the red, white, and blue.
ARTIST HIGHLIGHTS:
Marilyn Manson’s Triumphant Return:
Rocklahoma 2025 marked Marilyn Manson's first major tour performance in years and it felt like stepping back into the wild '90s. His eerie stagecraft, dark charisma, and total command of the crowd made his set one of the most talked-about comebacks in recent rock memory.
Alice Cooper Still Reigns:
With snakes, guillotines, and pure rock theater, Alice Cooper turned the Pryor fields into his personal stage play reminding fans why the Godfather of Shock Rock still defines the genre.
Shinedown Ignites the Masses:
Shinedown delivered an arena-sized explosion of light, sound, and anthems. Tens of thousands belted out every lyric in unison, creating a worthy chorus that carried across the Oklahoma night.
Tom Morello's Legacy Lives On:
Morello's guitar pyrotechnics reached new heights when he brought his son on stage for a jaw-dropping father-son guitar duel. The younger Morello stunned the crowd with his chops, proving that rock's fire passes from generation to generation.
Five Finger Death Punch Unleashes the Pit:
Few bands own the pit like Five Finger. Their bone-crushing riffs and commanding energy whipped Rocklahoma into a frenzy, unleashing chaos, sweat, and unity in one of the weekend's heaviest sets.
