Last year they blew the roof off Stillwater, this year they are coming back for seconds. The Boys From Oklahoma are returning to Boone Pickens Stadium this Saturday after a record-setting run that turned the college town into a full-on Red Dirt destination. The show is a centerpiece of STOKd, a 10-day Red Dirt music celebration that will spill into downtown venues and wrap with Bob Childers’ Gypsy Café the following day.
The encore, billed as “The Boys From Oklahoma: Round 2,” is set for Saturday at Boone Pickens Stadium, with gates opening at 3:30 p.m., as reported by The Oklahoman. Local promoters greenlit round two after last spring’s four-night run packed Stillwater and pushed hotel and restaurant capacity to the limit. The Oklahoman also notes that STOKd runs April 3 through 12, with an early highlight that includes a Travis Linville set on Stonecloud’s patio on April 3.
Round Two at Boone Pickens Stadium
Oklahoma State’s athletics department lists reunited Cross Canadian Ragweed and the Turnpike Troubadours as co-headliners, with Wyatt Flores, Shane Smith & the Saints and The Great Divide rounding out the bill. Oklahoma State Athletics laid out the lineup and presale details last summer, and organizers say the show will follow the stadium’s standard event and ticketing guidance.
Scale and Local Lift
Visit Stillwater reports that last spring’s stadium run drew roughly 200,000 fans from all 50 states and delivered a festival-scale economic bump for the city. The tourism group likened the weekend’s impact to major destination festivals and used that momentum to help shape this year’s STOKd schedule. The Oklahoman estimated the 2025 stadium events generated about 100 million dollars in economic activity and supported roughly 875 local jobs, numbers that municipal leaders and business groups have been citing while preparing for the encore.
Gypsy Café and STOKd
STOKd culminates in a downtown songwriter showcase. Bob Childers’ Gypsy Café will cap the weekend on Sunday across five stages, with a free shuttle loop helping fans move between venues. Red Dirt Relief Fund, which runs Gypsy Café, says the festival spotlights dozens of Oklahoma songwriters and channels proceeds into emergency assistance for music professionals. The nonprofit also notes that it has delivered more than 1 million dollars in emergency grants to Oklahoma music industry workers since 2012.
Tickets and Tips for Visitors
Official sale channels and partner listings show limited availability for the April 11 stadium date, so organizers are urging buyers to stick to university ticketing pages and reputable marketplaces. Bandsintown lists the lineup and venue details.
Visitors can expect heavy traffic around Boone Pickens Stadium on show day, tight on-site parking and extra activity downtown throughout STOKd. If you are coming in from out of town, plan on giving yourself some extra travel time and a little patience, since Stillwater is gearing up for another massive Red Dirt weekend.
