Agreed, Brigid, but I think that full blast also has the idea of atmosphere as well as the loud music. We'll see what others think.

This expression is used in different contexts. But given that my context is used to describe a rock concert, I interpret it its use to describe both the music and the atmosphere. Correct? In which case I wonder whether a good solution might be to a bit more creative here and translate it with "the place was rocking" or something along those lines.
