Types Of Venues

A music venue is any location that regulary hosts music events. Music venues vary in size, with some being huge, ie a football statium, in which tens of thousands of people will be able to attend. Some venues are tiny, like local pubs that have a capacity of sometimes not even a couple of hundred. However smaller venues are renowned for having a better 'feel' to them, the audiance has more of a connection with the live performer or performers.

Most music venues will be typical of the kind of live performances they have there. Clubs pubs and smaller venues will usually host pop/rock acts, however a pop/rock act with a huge fanbase will sometimes play in sports stadiums or arenas. There are also venues like opera houses, which will nearly always host classical music performances. Whichever type of performace artist you are going to see, you can usually be guarenteed that the venue they are playin in will be right for them. The main objective for a performer would be to fill as much of the venue as possible with fans, so the type of venue is always carefuly considerd.
