ADA, Okla. – Tiger Tangles returns to East Central University for the second year in a row, after a nearly two-decade hiatus, with Tiger Tangles: Part Deux on Feb. 28 at 6 p.m. in the Ataloa Theatre located inside the Hallie Brown Ford Fine Arts Center.
"If you didn't make it to last year's Tiger Tangles you missed an incredible show, and this year is going to be bigger and better,” said ECU’s Director of Event Management, Jamie Davis. “We had 31 acts audition and only the top 21 made it into the show and will compete for their share of $5,000 in prize money. This year we have several bands, comedy acts, instrumentalists and solo vocalists. With a fun Mardi Gras theme, it is sure to be a fun night you won't want to miss. We love having the Ada Community come support our students, so get your tickets early before they sell out."

Tiger Tangles is a talent show featuring ECU students that traces its origins as far back as the 1950’s, under a variety of names. It was rechristened with the Tiger Tangles moniker in the early 1960’s and quickly became a cherished staple on the ECU campus until the late 1990’s. This new take on Tiger Tangles will see a piece of ECU history brought to 2025 for a new generation of Tigers to experience and enjoy.
ECU students, staff and faculty receive free admission with their university ID.
