The History of Classic Rock Concerts

Classic rock may include different artists depending who you ask, but generally the genre includes successful rock bands and performers from the 1960s through the 90s. Unlike other genres of music, classic rock doesn’t start out as classic rock -- rather, it takes time to become a classic! Over time, more and more radio stations began to feature classic rock hits, which are primarily guitar-driven tunes. However, some stations continue to pepper in more current songs which some may not classify as classic rock. Other definitions state that classic rock is any rock music that is older than 25 years old.

The Live Classic Rock Concert Experience

Classic rock shows generally draw in older crowds who grew up listening to these artists and bands. These concerts often showcase the artist's ability to play a range of instruments as well, including the guitar and drums. While classic rock shows can be quite theatrical, many feature acoustic sets and more mellow tunes as well. Classic rock can even be known to include instruments like the violin, cello, and harp.

Notable Classic Rock Performers

Many people immediately associate classic rock with The Beatles, an English rock band that rose to fame in the 1960s. Of course, there are tons of other classic rock bands including Aerosmith, Queen, AC/DC, KISS, and The Rolling Stones. Black Sabbath is another classic rock band that originated in the UK and made famous singer Ozzy Osbourne. While these bands are all classified today as classic rock, their individual genres range from progressive rock and heavy metal to blues rock and pop music.

Noteworthy Classic Rock Concert Events

If you’re looking for a noteworthy classic rock event, check out the annual Classic Rock Awards. In 2008, Ozzy Osbourne took home the Living Legend Award while AC/DC took home Band of the Year in 2015. This annual event was started back in 2005 by Classic Rock Magazine. Of course, other events include classic rock concerts themselves! Plenty of the legends still tour today and you can catch classic rock shows all around the globe.
