Slipknot Headlining Rocklahoma for 2024
By Michele Mussatto, UnRated Magazine
For the third time, Slipknot will be heading America’s biggest Labor Day party known as Rocklahoma, August 30 through September 1, 2024 in Pryor, OK.
Slipknot, now touring with new drummer Eloy Casagrande formerly of Sepultura, is hotly anticipated to be as sick as ever with this accomplished new skinsman. They will close the festival on Sunday after metal greats Lamb of God and Mastodon. This will be Slipknot’s 9th tour stop in their “Here Comes the Pain 25th Anniversary World Tour, which is already selling out arenas in the U.S.
Nu metal giants Disturbed will close the night on Saturday, joined by Christian rock band Skillet and alternative rockers A Day to Remember.
Friday video game music composers Avenged Sevenfold will end the night with their melodic metal. Halestorm and Evanescence will open for A7X. Coal Chamber will also play on Friday with their frenetic high-energy metal that will likely launch some great mosh pits.
The Big 4 of thrash will remain unrepresented this year, as Anthrax has dropped off the lineup. But Slayer lead guitar player Kerry King is guaranteed to “slay” on Sunday with his solo show.
Other bands in the music line-up for Rocklahoma include Clutch, Wage War, Nothing More, Badflower, Pop Evil, Giovanne and the Hired Guns, Bad Wolves, Tom Keifer, Winger, Faster Pussycat, Vixen, Set it Off, The Warning, Kim Dracula, Tim Montana, Sleep Theory, Austin Meade, The Oxymorons, Enuf Znuf and more.
