Arena is a British progressive rock band founded in 1995 by Clive Nolan (keyboard player in Pendragon, Shadowland and Strangers on a Train) and Mick Pointer (drummer in Marillion’s original line-up). All of the band’s lyrics are written by Nolan.
Musically the band’s style ranges from symphonic to hard rock. Some of the band’s recent albums have a similar sound to another of the bands that Nolan has participated in, Shadowland.
Guitarist Jonathan “John” Mitchell has been involved in several other projects like Kino (the UK band), The Urbane, It Bites and Frost*. In these bands he sings in addition to his usual guitar duties.
- Clive Nolan / keyboards
- Mick Pointer / drums
- Rod Sowden / vocals
- John Mitchell / guitars
- Ian Salmon / bass
Ten years after its original release, a special two disc version of 'Contagion' is released. It is a limited edition of this classic Arena album, enlarged by the EP-tracks inserted in the proper places in the concept.
