From Punk to Prog, Rock’s inspirations are as diverse as its audiences, and every show delivers a powerful, memorable experience. Rock may conjure images of tens of thousands filling an arena, stadium or festival field, but the intimacy of a smaller venue makes for a special connection between artist and audience.
