Venue Info

For over 20 years, Opolis has been Norman, Oklahoma’s legendary small-but-mighty music hub, where local artists play their first shows and touring acts deliver unforgettable performances in an intimate 150-capacity space. Known for its dark, minimalist vibe and a famously massive sound system, the venue is all-ages and serves up vegan eats. In 2022, a cooperative of musicians who grew up on its stage took over, preserving its legacy while adding fresh energy—including a new music school offering lessons onsite. Still a home for misfits and music lovers, Opolis remains a vital space for local Oklahoma musicians and touring artists.
