Oklahoma residents were far from silence after four different artists made a stop in either Tulsa or Norman this week.
Lady Gaga on Monday and Kings of Leon on Friday brought crowds to the Bank of Oklahoma Event Center in Tulsa. Miranda Lambert on Thursday and Jason Castro on Friday entertained crowds on the University of Oklahoma Campus.
Lady Gaga brought swarms of monster loving fans out to the BOK Center in Tulsa, many decorated with fancy costumes and eager to see the much anticipated Monster Ball tour.
"I was definitely not going to miss Lady Gaga...I skipped my Monday night class to drive to Tulsa," Erick Moham OU sociology senior said.
Before the Lady Gaga and Kings of Leon shows, the ONEOK Outdoor Concert Series provided free concerts to audiences.
The concert series originally started in 2008 as a way to promote local musicians and enliven Downtown Tulsa, according to www.bokcenter.com.
The group Admiral Twin played before the Lady Gaga show and the group Radio Radio played before the Kings of Leon show.
"I got my tickets the day they went on sale," Katie Schoelen said, "I've been a huge fan for a long time."

In Norman, Miranda Lambert packed the Lloyd Noble Center Thursday with her country hits.
"[Lambert] was amazing...a perfect way to end my stressful week," Lauren Henderson said.
The Miranda Lambert was actually the first time alcohol was allowed inside the Lloyd Noble Center.
"I hardly noticed the alcohol, I guess it kind of just fit the concert scene," Henderson said.
Lastly, American Idol's Jason Castro was brought to the OU Walker-Adams Mall Friday night as part of the Brothers Under Christ Fraternity 11th annual Island Party.
The Brothers Under Christ Fraternity hosts the free annual Island Party concert each year as a fundraising event.
This year the funds were raised for the Haiti Rising Fund.
