SWOSUPalooza is an annual concert on the Weatherford campus of Southwestern Oklahoma State University (SWOSU).
It showcases local and regional musicians, and frequently brings national recording artists to western Oklahoma as headliners.
The idea for SWOSUPalooza originated in 1997 among a group of friends attending SWOSU, but was not acted on until the 1999–2000 academic year.
In 2010, SWOSU SGA voted to implement a minimal ticket price in order to raise additional funds and be able to bring in bigger bands.
[4] SWOSUPalooza 21, originally scheduled to take place on April 9, 2020,[5] was rescheduled for August 20[6] following a full transition to virtual course delivery for the spring 2020 semester due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
