Once you get there, that would be the time to figure out your iso based on the lighting on the stage - which will likely change during the show and performances anyway. I use to shoots concerts at 1600 asa, with 85mm,35mm or 50mm lenses at f2-f4, but if lights were good enough, I would do 800 asa. Use to use Fuji Neopan 1600 - a glorious and extinct film. If more than 1600 asa, I would use Kodak T-max 3200 occasionally. I think Fuji still makes a color negative 1600 iso film, and that is what I would probably use today, except for Tmax 3200 at 1600 or 3200. Honestly though, if you had a dual camera smartphone, you would likely get better shots doing a B&W conversion of images taken with that or keep it in color. Now that I think about it, stages seem to be better lit today than in the past - maybe just for smartphone snaps? In any case, the closer you get to the stage, the better your shots with a wide-angle rangefinder or smartphone...
