Oklahoma State Announces Second Show for Cross Canadian Ragweed and Co.

October 3, 2024

STILLWATER – Due to extreme demand, Oklahoma State has announced a second show for the concert co-headlined by Cross Canadian Ragweed and the Turnpike Troubadours.

Also playing the two shows will be Jason Boland and the Stragglers, the Great Divide and Stoney LaRue. It will be on Friday, April 11.

Pokes Report learned earlier this week the shows will benefit NIL at Oklahoma State, with the athletic department tasked with selling suites and the club level, with the promotion company selling seats in the bowl and on the field. The capacity of each concert will be capped at 43,000.

This marks the reunion of Cross Canadian Ragweed, which formed in Stillwater back in 1994 and becoming the face of the red dirt scene before breaking up in 2010. Easily one of the most successful red dirt groups, they teased their return in late September. 

Turnpike Troubadours are out of Talequah, but made it big in Stillwater playing the bars on The Strip before going national.

Jason Boland and the Stragglers also got their start in Stillwater as Boland was a member of the Lambda Chi Alpha fraternity at Oklahoma State. LaRue moved to Stillwater in the early 2000s to play the bars, becoming friends with both Boland and Cody Canada on Cross Canadian Ragweed.

The Great Divide formed in Stillwater back in the early 90s and helped influence most red dirt bands, including Cross Canadian Ragweed.

Yeah it'll be on Friday, April 11. Smart to announce a second show before tickets go on sale.

How? Even if you don't like country/red dirt music, these two shows are going to bring in millions, MILLIONS of dollars in NIL money for OSU. Which means being able to attract better high school players, better players out of the portal, being able to keep good players from entering the transfer portal at the end of seasons and end spring.

Like a million dollars to that Ollie character? What a joke on us that was.

Lesson learned: once they make a million, they don't try as hard, because they don't want to get hurt and ruin their NIL value. (generally speaking)


I like the concert idea, not the result of paying people in advance for work not yet completed.
