Center of the Universe Festival continues to position itself as one of the preeminent alt-pop music festivals of the Midwest, bringing emo-stalwarts-turned-dance-rock-junkies Panic! at the Disco and Canadian hard-rockers Three Days Grace to headline the third-annual weekend of crowd-friendly performances on July 24-25 in Tulsa’s Brady Arts District. American Authors, KONGOS and MisterWives will join in this year’s fun, along with three more main stage acts and more than 100 regional and local bands to be announced in the months to come.
COTU alums (and fellow stylized band name spelling enthusiasts) include OneRepublic, OK Go, MUTEMATH, Neon Trees, Young the Giant, Cold War Kids, Capital Cities, AWOLNATION, Fitz & the Tantrums and more. Tickets are on sale now. Single-day tickets and weekend passes are available for $30 and $60, respectively. Meanwhile, the full VIP experience (which includes premium viewing areas, complimentary drinks and air-conditioned bathrooms) will cost you $210.
