After everyone was found to be safe, crews went to work to insure the main stage artists would be able to continue to perform. General Manager Mark Nuessle said, “everyone from the bands, to the different communities around Pryor, OK, the Rural Electrical Cooperative, along with the fans were not going to let this once in a lifetime storm slow down Rocklahoma. Bands that were scheduled for the side stages that missed the opportunity to play on Saturday due to the weather were able to come back on Sunday and perform. There were over twenty-nine bands yet to perform when the storm hit the festival grounds.
Nuessle went on to add, “The commitment from everyone to have Rocklahoma continue on was amazing! We could have all thrown up our hands and called it a day, but that wouldn’t be fair to the fans or the bands who came to play.”
A storm consisting of five different cells converged on Pryor, OK and the Catch the Fever Music Festival Grounds. In just three minutes, we went from rain showers to a storm that I have not seen in my thirty years” said Rocklahoma’s on site weather expert Mike Orange. “There was not enough time to warn everyone in advance.” Winds in excess of sixty-five miles per hour appeared from nowhere causing the collapse of two temporary side stages. No one was injured due to the collapse. One female broke her arm earlier as she was running for cover from the rain, slipped and fell.

At Midnight, for the entire Rocklahoma audience, there will be a special screening of "Heavy Metal in Baghdad", a documentary film, which premiered at this year's Berlin Film Festival, which gives a harrowing glimpse of their everyday life in a city torn apart by war.
Directed by Eddy Moretti and Suroosh Alvi, with Spike Jonze sporting an executive producer credit, this feature follows the four young musicians' desperate struggle to make the music they love, from the toppling of Saddam Hussein in 2003 to the present day.
As reported by CNN, "As the band struggles to overcome roadblocks, curfews and power cuts just to get to rehearsal, this portrayal of four regular guys surrounded by violence and chaos is a striking picture of a city's populace caught, quite literally, in the crossfire."
"Nobody could live under the same circumstances that an Iraqi could live in," says bassist Firas. "You have to deal with death and fear every day," adds singer Faisal.
That fear is reflected in their music. There's little room for allegory in their songs, "Massacre," "Between the Ashes" and "Orphan Child": These titles reflect the band's everyday existence.
Over 100 bands will be performing on three giant stages over the five days. Rocklahoma's current lineup on the main stage is:
Wednesday: RATT, Jackyl, All Star Fantasy Camp, Firehouse, Rock and Roll Fantasy Camp Jam,

TRIUMPH UNITES FOR ROCKLAHOMA
PRYOR, OK - The classic Triumph line-up of Rik Emmett, Mike Levine and Gil Moore could not have selected a better way to reunite after a two-decade absence in North America with what will undoubtedly be a show-stopping headline appearance at Rocklahoma 2008 on Friday, July 11, 2008.
"Triumph is very excited to be performing at Rocklahoma this summer and I am really looking forward to being on stage with Gil and Rik again" bassist Mike Levine said.
Triumph, formed in 1975, built a large and loyal fan base by the late seventies on the strength of their incredible stage show, a non-stop touring schedule throughout Canada and the United States, and the success of their classic albums, "Rock & Roll Machine" and "Just A Game."
In the 1980's, Triumph became a force to be reckoned with, as a string of gold/platinum-certified albums --- "Allied Forces," "Never Surrender," and "Thunder Seven," and radio hits "Fight the Good Fight," "Magic Power" and "Lay It On The Line" --- solidified the band as one of rock's top concert attractions.
With their music continuing to live on during their absence, fans will now finally get the opportunity to catch this live-legend on stage once more.
Brad White, President of Creative Entertainment Unlimited and talent buyer for Rocklahoma, commented "Triumph is well known for laying it on the line. It is a true honor to have Triumph re-unite and select Rocklahoma. Friday's performance will be one that the audience will not soon forget!"
Over 96 bands will be performing on three giant stages over Rocklahoma's four days. Rocklahoma's current lineup on the main stage is:
Thursday (Opening Night for those who have bought three day tickets) Jet Boy, House of Lords, Vain, Enuff Z Nuff, L.A. Guns featuring Tracii Guns, Sebastian Bach and Bret Michaels.
Friday: XYZ, Armored Saint, Kingdom Come, Night Ranger, Lita Ford, Extreme and Triumph.
Saturday: Pretty Boy Floyd, Every Mother's Nightmare, Tora Tora, Black N Blue, Trixter, Lynch Mob, Kix, the reunited Warrant and Cinderella.
Sunday: Axe, Zebra, Beautiful Creatures, TBA, TBA, Tesla and TBA
