Description

Arena rock is a bombastic style of rock music designed for large stadium performances, characterized by anthemic choruses, powerful guitar riffs, and theatrical presentation. It emerged in the 1970s as rock bands transitioned from clubs to massive venues, prioritizing accessible melodies and crowd participation. The genre emphasizes spectacle and emotional connection with huge audiences.
