PRESENTS: SONGMIXERS / ARENA ROCK RADIO
2023 Events

Arena Rock Radio

Arena Rock developed in the mid-'70s, when hard rock and heavy metal bands began to gain popularity. The music became more commercially oriented and radio-friendly, boasting slick productions and anthemic choruses, both on their hard rock numbers and sweeping power ballads.

Most of these bands earned their following through saturation airplay on FM radio and through constant touring. Bands like Journey, REO Speedwagon, Boston, Queen, and KISS became some of the most popular (and influential) bands of the mid- to late '70s through this circuit.

The often highly produced music, including both upbeat, dramatic songs and slower power ballads, features strong emphasis on melody and frequently employs anthemic choruses. Other major characteristics include prominent guitar effects and the use of keyboards and synthesizers.
