Strands #202
“I've got the music in me!”

Hi Strands fans. At first the theme of "I've got the music in me!" feels so broad it could mean anything.
But as is often the case with Strands themes, there's extra meaning hidden behind the words. In this case the "in me" part is just as important as the "music" bit, as it's all about live music venues.
Unfortunately, I had to get a clue before I figured that out. But when it revealed ARENA there wasn't much room left for ambiguity, and I quickly got the spangram of CONCERTVENUE across the middle of the board.
THEATER was cordoned off between the spangram and ARENA in the bottom left, and I then saw the word STADIUM in the top right. FESTIVAL was to its left, ensuring that just NIGHTCLUB was left to bag in the bottom-right corner to complete the puzzle.
