“Headbangers unite! A metal extravaganza” – TulsaPeople
   Tulsa, OK nonprofit music organization, Horton Records, is proud to announce the 2025 ‘2 Minutes to Tulsa’ music festival, set for Friday, March 28 and Saturday, March 29 at The Vanguard event center in downtown Tulsa. The thriving annual event, now in its third iteration, will showcase a diverse national and international lineup of heavy metal music including German legends, Grave Digger, new wave of British heavy metal standouts, Satan, Los Angeles shock rock stars, Lizzy Borden, and Cleveland metal/punk kings, Midnight as festival headliners. Single day and full weekend tickets are on sale via The Vanguard now.

Additional confirmed acts for the 2025 2 Minutes to Tulsa festival include Hawaii’s Sacred Rite, Kentucky’s Savage Master, US-German crushers, Sentry, Canada’s Tower Hill, Houston’s Helstar, California’s Haunt, Sweden’s Century, North Carolina’s Mega Colossus, Louisiana’s Void, Spain’s Hitten, and the one-two punch of Tulsa’s own Blind Oath and Medicine Horse in what promises to be a festival created by metal fans for metal fans. 2 Minutes to Tulsa will also include the aptly-titled Bangover Brunch, a free event on Sunday, March 30 at Fassler Hall (304 S Elgin Ave) that will include a performance by NYC power trio Sanhedrin.

  “We have been blown away by the response to 2 Minutes to Tulsa,” says Horton Records’ President Brian Horton. “Both fans and bands have traveled to Tulsa from all over the world, many for the first time, to be a part of this annual event, which was a goal of ours from the beginning. A special treat in 2025 will be a rare live appearance from Sacred Rite. This is a band that relocated from Hawaii to Tulsa in the late 80’s, only to partially dissolve and reform under the name Tragic Nancy. It will be a reunion of sorts as the band members reconnect with friends and family in the area. We’re expecting a sell out this year, so get your tickets early!”
