SLAYER, PAPA ROACH and GODSMACK headline Rocklahoma 2026

The Rocklahoma music festival has announced the line-up for its 20th metal, punk and rock-heavy instalment, and the organizers have revealed that 2026’s headliners are GodsmackPapa Roach and Slayer.

The full lineup was revealed this morning (February 24th), and, as in years past, the outdoor fest will be held across Labor Day weekend (September 4-6th) at Pryor, Oklahoma’s Rockin Red Dirt Ranch.

The Friday night lineup finds Godsmack topping the bill, while other bands set to appear include Stone Temple Pilots, Hollywood Undead, Aussie rockers Jet, rapper Yelawolf, Slaughter, Black Stone Cherry and more.

For Saturday, Papa Roach take the top honors. They’ll be sharing the stage with Cypress Hill, Dropkick Murphys, Pennywise, Black Veil Brides, Wolfmother, Militarie Gun, Living Colour and more. Papa Roach vocalist Jacoby Shaddix noted in a statement that they “are beyond excited to return to Rocklahoma 2026 alongside such a killer lineup,” and this marks their first Rocklahoma appearance since 2015.

The Sunday night finale will find Slayer celebrating “40 years of Reign in Blood,” though it’s unclear if that means they’ll be playing the seminal thrash classic in full. Regardless, they will be playing the same day as Black Label Society, the Pretty Reckless, PRESIDENT, the Insane Clown Posse, Suicidal Tendencies and more.

“Rocklahoma isn’t just another festival; it’s for the loud, the misfits, and the lifers,” the Pretty Reckless’ Taylor Momsen said in her own statement, adding, “There’s something about stepping on that stage, feeling that heat, that roar, and knowing these fans live and breathe rock ‘n’ roll the same way we do.”

Various passes, single ticket options and VIP experiences go on-sale tomorrow (February 25th) at 10 a.m. CT. You can find out more ticketing details over on the Rocklahoma site over here.
