What do we call a music salon or hall in which a rock band would perform, in English? I want words both for a place with roof and without roof (like an amphitheater) please.

          The words "concert hall" are often used; even though these used to be constructed centuries ago for classical music, nowadays they're used for all kinds of music, including rock music. There is (AFAIK) no word or phrase exclusively used for rock music.



          Note that "music hall" is only slightly less commonly used than "concert hall"; see this Google Ngram.

            I might use concert venue, though that would also cover "non-constructed" locations like the Great Lawn in Central Park NYC, or a beach somewhere...

          "Venue" is the overarching term that describes a location where anything can be performed.




          venue (n): The place where something happens, especially an organized event such as a concert, conference, or sports competition.




          It doesn't matter if it is an outdoor stage, stadium, public park, convention center, sports arena, theater, or even an actual performance hall. All of these can be considered venues for organized events.



          "Music hall" or "music salon" sound old-fashioned to me, but seem to still be in use for older, landmark buildings. "Concert hall" is also used, although this seems to be more a place for a symphony orchestra than a rock bands.

            As someone who has been heavily into the rock scene from both a spectator and performer point of view, this is the most common way to refer to the performance space. The only other name we use for it is the specific name of what it is (park, church, bar, etc.) but even that is considerably less common than simply "venue".
