Theatrical stadium rock with layered guitars and choir harmonies.

History

Arena rock, also called stadium rock, took over the rock mainstream in the 1970s, when hard rock and pop rock bands began writing for huge crowds and for radio at the same time. Historian Gary Donaldson summed it up as big hair, big voices and really big guitars: dramatic production, anthemic choruses, slow power ballads, prominent guitar effects and keyboards, with fireworks, smoke and elaborate lighting on stage. Some date its start to the Beatles at Shea Stadium in 1965; The Guardian credits the Rolling Stones' 1969 US tour, which brought lights and sound strong enough to rise over the crowd in the biggest arenas. Grand Funk Railroad soon played to 180,000 people in Texas. By the late 1970s Journey, Styx, Foreigner, Boston and REO Speedwagon led the format. Corporate sponsorship of the tours earned it the sneer corporate rock, and punk and British pub rock grew partly as a revolt against its scale. In the 1980s hair metal bands like Def Leppard and Mötley Crüe made it louder and flashier, until Nirvana and grunge swept it away. Bon Jovi and Van Halen kept selling into the 1990s, and later Creed and Nickelback wrote their own arena anthems.
