Hard Rock & Metal Music Concerts          

Hard rock and metal are both subgenres of rock music developed during the 1960s and 1970s. Distorted guitars, heavy vocals, blues rock, acid rock, garage, and psychedelic rock music laid the basis for hard rock and metal. 

Bands like the Beatles, Steppenwolf, Deep Purple, etc., made hard rock popular in the late 1960s, followed by Led Zeppelin, Who, and others. The subgenre was modified during the 1970s to make it more accessible. 

The audience loved the music even as critics were not entirely kind to it. Fans of heavy metal music began to be known as metalheads or headbangers. Even though hard rock became a pop-rock in the 1980s, it is still a famous music genre in the market.

The roots of hard rock and metal belonged to the same period when blues bands started to change rock and roll music by making sounds heavier and more complex. The Rolling Stones and The Yardbirds were famous for developing blues-rock. The Kinks made this genre a hit through their song You Really Got Me in 1964.
