Flyover Festival (previously Promcore & Act Like You Know) will be taking place this November 17, 18, and 19 at the VFW Post 577. Flyover Festival is an annual punk and hardcore fest that is a benefit for Oklahomans For Equality.
Oklahomans For Equality seeks equal rights for LGBTQ+ individuals and families through intersectional advocacy, education, programs, alliances, and the operation of the Dennis R. Neill Equality Center. Serving LGBTQ+ Oklahomans and their allies since 1980, Oklahomans for Equality is home to a diverse, vibrant, and engaged community of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender persons, knowledgeable staff, and dedicated volunteers.
The festival has had a history of bringing in a variety of punk and hardcore bands, both new to the scene and others that are larger. It’s a diverse lineup too, with representation for many communities. Some bands that have played in past years include One Step Closer, Zulu, Purgatory, Crafter, Ballista, I Am, Time and Pressure, Kharma, End On End, En Love, Pickwick Commons, and many (many) others.
