Kind of rock … or where to see it (5)

I believe the answer is:

arena

(Other definitions for arena that I've seen before include "Where gladiatorial contests took place" , "Venue for boxing, circus and other action events" , "Performance venue" , "Earls Court?" , "Entertainments venue" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
