Following the death of their original drummer, the fathers of southern hard rock perform their greatest hits at the Tulsa Hard Rock Hotel & Casino. The five-member rock band rose to fame in the ‘70s with hits such as “Free Bird” and “Sweet Home Alabama.” The band was birthed in a Jacksonville, Fla., high school and performed under the name The Noble Five before changing their name after their high school gym teacher, who was the anti-rocker, according to the original band members. In 2006, all original members of the band were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. The legendary band performs for Lynyrd nation in Tulsa.

Gentleman, be on high alert. The music industry’s most controversial heartthrob arrives in concert to serenade Oklahoma City. In the past, Brown has experienced public controversy and scrutiny. This year was no different. The singer went through a social media-induced break up with his girlfriend after rumors broke of a secret baby, and although the R&B sensation always finds himself in career-threatening pools, he’s seemingly able to produce a hit single and album that wins fans and critics over. Browns sixth studio album, X, is a great example of that. The 17-track album peaked at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart. Today, the singer brings his album success along with his R&B counterparts, Sevyn Streeter and Omarion, to Chesapeake Energy Arena in Oklahoma City.
