Festivals in Oklahoma

Between the wind-swept Great Plains and the wooded foothills of the Ozarks, Oklahoma nurtures a music scene as plainspoken as its red earth. It was here, in Stillwater, that "red dirt" was born — that raw, brotherly strain of country that runs through the whole state, ringing out every spring at Calf Fry, a must for fans of the genre. Up in Pryor, deep in the Ozarks, the Born And Raised Festival carries on that outlaw, Americana tradition, while the same small town roars to life come summer for Rocklahoma, a three-day high mass of rock and metal built on riffs and dust.

Farther west, the college town of Norman throws its streets wide open for the Norman Music Festival, a free, eclectic showcase of the region's rising talent just a stone's throw from Oklahoma City. From the red-dirt barrooms of Stillwater to the screaming guitars of Pryor, the state draws a festival map that feels at once intimate and electric. FestT calculates your FestiScore — how well a lineup matches your favorite artists — and keeps dates, headliners and ticketing up to date, so you never miss the show that speaks to your taste out on the open plains.
