Leatherwolf
, the premier '80s music festival in the United States,
July 9-12 in
Pryor, today announced its opening day as “
Heavy Metal Day.”
Thursday night bands will include Anthrax, Metal Church, Leatherwolf, Saxon, Overkill and more.
As Anthrax drummer Cherlie Benante let slip last week: "We're going to bring our brand of New York metal to Oklahoma. We want to start the HEAVY DAY at Rocklahoma, and after we play nothing but heavy f%#*ing metal, Oklahoma will never be the same."
Said Leatherwolf's Mike Olivieri, "It is definitely an honor to bring the 'Triple Axe Attack' to Rocklahoma this year and being part of such a stellar line-up of bands. I'm looking forward to playing a great show and help make this year the best 4 days of classic metal anywhere on the planet. We'll see you there!"
Said DD Verni of Overkill: “We're psyched to be part of the Rocklahoma festival! Overkill have been doing the summer festivals in Europe for many years and it's always a great time. So doing one in America with old friends like Anthrax and Metal Church should be a fu**in blast.”
The third annual Rocklahoma will have over ninety bands on four stages. Additional bands will be announced in the upcoming future.
