Staged within a three-block stretch of West Main Street in the Walker Arts District, the Norman Music Festival (NMF) is a free, three-day celebration of music and community that draws tens of thousands of attendees each year. More than 200 performers take the stage across multiple indoor and outdoor venues. The 2025 festival is set for April 24–26, with performances running Thursday evening through Saturday night.

Today, it spans multiple genres – from indie rock and hip hop to electronic and folk – offering something for every kind of music fan. Past headliners have included acclaimed artists such as Japanese Breakfast, Portugal. The Man, Omar Apollo, and the festival’s original headliner, The Chainsaw Kittens.
NMF continues to highlight both national acts and local talent, reinforcing Norman’s identity as a creative hub for the arts.
