Weatherford, OK – Southwestern Oklahoma State University (SWOSU) will host SWOSU Palooza presented by Qdoba on Friday, March 27, 2026, in the Pioneer Events Center on the SWOSU campus in Weatherford. Doors will open at 7 p.m., and the concert will begin at 8 p.m.
SWOSU Palooza is the university’s annual spring concert and has been a campus tradition since 2000. The event is organized in coordination with the Student Government Association (SGA) and is intended to provide students with a large-scale live music event on campus each year. Over more than two decades, Palooza has remained one of the most anticipated student events of the spring semester.
The event will feature headliner Jacob Stelly, a red dirt musician from Liberty, Texas, who has built a following across Texas and Oklahoma through regional touring and live performances. The opening act will be American Slang, an Oklahoma-based band known for blending rock and country in its original music, along with select cover songs during its shows.
The concert is free for current SWOSU students. Members of the general public may attend for $10, payable by credit card at the door. Re-entry will not be permitted. Qdoba will operate a food vendor station inside the Pioneer Events Center and will serve as the exclusive meal vendor for the duration of the event.
“We are super excited to have Jacob Stelly and American Slang perform for Palooza this year,” said Kambree Hammons, an SGA student.
SGA President Jake Estes said the event continues a focus on bringing emerging artists to campus. “We have always prided ourselves on bringing students tomorrow’s stars, and this year we are excited to bring Jacob Stelly and American Slang to campus,” Estes said.
