One of Oklahoma City’s most famous tours of the spring is Yeah Fest. After the city noticed its residents were leaving for the weekends because of the lack of big events the tour was started in 1983.

Yeah Fest was still in the develop phase when Ralph Lamango came with the specific details that have come to define the festival. The new event did not receive much financial support or much advertising, so the festival started out pretty small, featuring a lot of local performers..

It took some time, but eventually Yeah Fest began to develop a following The festival started to get more acts that had made a name for themselves around the country and it began to warrant the kind of attention its creators dreamed it would receive one day. The city was soon blocking off traffic for city blocks on the dates of Yeah Fest.

Yeah Fest has become one of the hottest events of the year, with tickets lasting a couple of hours after being released to the public. The tour is now so big that just about any band will say yes if asked to sing. The organizers of the tour have not forgotten where they’ve come from though, and always ask local artists to play the smaller stages. Yeah Fest’s organizers have been increasing the scope of the original festival these last few years to accommodate the increasingly eclectic taste of its audience.

This year’s tour is already getting more buzz than last year’s festival, with more big name acts than ever before. Yeah Fest’s tickets for their latest tour are on sale on TheSeats.com, along with the schedule of all the group’s concerts.
