After nearly 15 years apart, legendary Red Dirt band Cross Canadian Ragweed is officially reuniting for an unforgettable performance at T Boone Pickens Stadium in Stillwater, Oklahoma, on April 12, 2025. This highly anticipated reunion will see the Oklahoma icons headlining a star-studded lineup alongside fellow Red Dirt legends like the Turnpike Troubadours, The Great Divide, Stoney LaRue, and Jason Boland & The Stragglers. The announcement, which broke via a leaked poster on TikTok, has sent fans into a frenzy and rekindled excitement for one of the most influential bands in Red Dirt music history.

Dubbed the “Boys From Oklahoma” concert, this monumental event is set to celebrate the deep-rooted legacy of Red Dirt music. The reunion will be a homecoming of sorts, taking place in Stillwater, Oklahoma—considered the birthplace of Red Dirt music—where Cross Canadian Ragweed got their start. This April 2025 show promises to be more than just a concert; it will be a celebration of a movement that put Oklahoma on the map in the country music world. The Turnpike Troubadours, known for their captivating blend of Red Dirt and Americana, will co-headline the event with Cross Canadian Ragweed. Fans can expect a night filled with hit after hit, as both bands represent the heart and soul of Red Dirt’s past, present, and future. Joining them will be The Great Divide, Stoney LaRue, and Jason Boland & The Stragglers, each contributing to the rich history of this unique music genre.

Cross Canadian Ragweed’s reunion comes as a surprise to many fans, especially after the band’s tumultuous breakup in 2010. Lead singer and guitarist Cody Canada had long sworn that the band would never reunite after their final show at Joe’s on Weed Street in Chicago. Yet, time has a way of healing old wounds, and Canada has since had a change of heart. “I want to make people happy, and I want people to walk away feeling like it was 15 years ago,” he said recently, expressing his excitement for the upcoming reunion. For over a decade, fans have hoped for this moment, and now, in 2025, they’ll finally get to experience the magic of Cross Canadian Ragweed again. The band’s original lineup—Cody Canada, Randy Ragsdale (drums), Grady Cross (guitar), and Jeremy Plato (bass)—is set to take the stage, marking a new chapter in their legendary career.

The “Boys From Oklahoma” show on April 12, 2025, is expected to be an unforgettable event, with each band delivering powerful performances that will resonate with longtime fans and new listeners alike. Fans can expect Cross Canadian Ragweed to bring their signature high-energy live show back to life, with a setlist packed with fan-favorites from their extensive catalog.
