Abstract
As pop and rock evolved during the 1950s, 60s, and 70s, dedicated venues for this music were established. Buildings formerly used for other purposes such as cinema or factories found new life accommodating live, amplified dance music, from bars and clubs for a few dozens of people to actual music halls for more than a thousand persons at the other end of the scale. Sports arenas are also being used to house some of the most popular pop stars, and therefore there has been an improved focus on the acoustics of these venues with regard to amplified music.
