The lineup for this summer's Rocklahoma has expanded to include shock-rock-and-makeup-faves Twisted Sister in what is so far the band's only North American show announced this year.

The band's blond frontman, Dee Snider, announced the development recently during his weekly radio show. Twisted Sister's 1980s-era lineup will consist of Snider, Eddie "Fingers" Ojeda, AJ Pero, Mark "the Animal" Mendoza and Jay Jay French.

The band will be in full costume, including Snider's pink-and-black getup that Skid Row singer Sebastian Bach once described as looking like "Mae West on acid."

The band's definitive album, 1984's "Stay Hungry," has sold a few million copies and was propelled by its hits "We're Not Gonna Take It" and "I Wanna Rock."

Rocklahoma runs from July 13-15 at the Catch the Fever Festival Grounds, four miles north of Pryor along U.S. 69.

The band will perform on the final day of the festival along with W.A.S.P., Jackyl, Great White, L.A. Guns and Britny Fox. Performing on July 13 will be Poison, Ratt, Quiet Riot, Slaughter, Y&T and White Lion. July 14's lineup includes Vince Neil, Dokken, Winger, Skid Row, Warrant, Firehouse, Enuff Z'Nuff, Faster Pussycat, BulletBoys and Bang Tango.

Tickets range from $40 to $275. To buy tickets or get more information, call (866) 310-2288 or go to www.rockfeverfest.com.
