JANI LANE OF WARRANT EXCITED FOR HEADLINING SLOT AT 2008 ROCKLAHOMA

Jani Lane of Warrant talks about headlining Rocklahoma, the multi cultural, multi national 80’s Rock music festiavl in Pryor, Oklahoma.

Rocklahoma, the worlds largets 80’s Rock Music Festival has expanded to 5 days and the event is set to take place in Pryor, Oklahoma on July 9th-13th. Just a few of the 80’s hair bands set to perform include Bret Michaels solo band, Warrant, XYZ, Armored Saint, Kingdom Come, Night Ranger, Extreme, Triumph, Pretty Boy Floyd, Every Mother’s Nightmare, Tora Tora, Axe, Beautiful Creatures, Black N Blue, and Tesla.

We caught up with Jani Lane, lead vocalist of Warrant, who recently reunited with his band mates to get his thoughts on performing at Rocklahoma in 2008 and building upon the festivals successful debut last year.

“I don’t know where Rocklahoma came from, but obviously it’s great for our kind of music. They just added a fifth night this year and there was 60,000 plus last year. It’s multi cultural, multi national and it’s really a spectacle. I think they’re going to have over 100 bands this year and we’re co-headlining Saturday night.”

Famed eighties rock band Cinderella was forced to cancel its tour with Warrant and appearance at Rocklahoma due to the unforeseen occurrence of lead vocalist Tom Kiefer losing his voice due to his left vocal cord hemorrhaging. Besides mainstage acts, Rocklahoma will also feature two side stages adjacent to the main stage that will showcase over twenty-eight regional artists on each stage.
