Arena rock (sometimes stadium rock anthem rock or corporate rock) is rock music that uses large arena venues particularly sports venues for concerts or series of concerts linked in tours. Historically arena rock bands have often come from the hard rock heavy metal and progressive rock genres using a more commercially oriented and radio-friendly sound with highly-produced music that includes both hard rock numbers and power ballads both often employing anthemic choruses.
