Arena Rock

Arena rock, also sometimes called Stadium Rock, Anthem Rock, or Corporate Rock, is a term used to describe Rock music that utilized large arena venues, particularly sports venues, for concerts or series of concerts linked in tours. Musically, Arena Rock bands often came from the Hard Rock, Heavy Metal and Progressive Rock genres, but utilised a more commercially oriented and radio-friendly sound, with highly-produced music that included both Hard Rock numbers and power ballads, both often employing anthemic choruses.
