Tunes & Spoons 2025
A Weekend to Remember
The inaugural Tunes & Spoons Chili Fest & Music Festival delivered three unforgettable days of entertainment at the Claremore Expo Center.
​
Friday, August 22: The stage lit up with local talent including Red Dirt Rangers, Jared Hard, Jake Tankersley, and Cade Roth, leading up to a powerhouse headline show by Grammy-winning country legends Diamond Rio.
​
Saturday, August 23: The energy soared with Kase Tippins, Bottomland, BC & the Big Rig, and Dax Perrier, while Oklahoma’s own Red Dirt Rangers returned for a second night. The evening reached its peak with a high-voltage performance from blues-rock icons George Thorogood & The Destroyers.
​
Sunday, August 24: Festival-goers closed out the weekend dancing to the funky, feel-good sounds of Superfreak, before reliving the best of the ’90s and 2000s with fan-favorite tribute band My So Called Band.
​
From chart-topping headliners to beloved local acts, Tunes & Spoons’ first edition proved to be a perfect mix of music, community, and celebration — and set the stage for many more to come.
SEE YOU IN 2026!
“Chili's like music: it's all about the right ingredients and a little bit of soul.
Get the spice just right, and it hits you deep,
just like a good groove!”
