It's been a hot minute since I went to a concert that wasn't for old people and I'm struggling.
I need to be on the nicer side of casual, I'm not sure how exactly it's going to mesh- we're seeing Jake Owen (country) and PitBull (very, not country) no time for outfit changes. ha.
I would normally go with jeans, heels or boots, and a flannel shirt but we're normally hanging at a bluegrass show, at a county fair, or the senior center .
Little black dress? Jeans? A giant trash bag?
I feel like I need to tuck my hillbilly in a little. ha.

Jeans, boots or heels, and trade the flannel for a cute flowy top.
For the record, I'm a bit of a fashion dork.

The jeans, and boots or heels are good. Just change out the flannel shirt for something nicer. The flowy shirt suggested above would be good. Or any other cute top.

I normally just wear jeans, t-shirt and pumps, it's too much standing for heels. Many years ago when I saw Placebo I wore top to toe pleather  Those were the days!

If they are together at the same venue then wear whatever you're more comfortable in. It's a very wierd mashup of singers so your outfit could swing either way. Go plaid shirt if you're more country. You're in a sea of people I don't think you need to change for the artists style no one can see you in the dark.

I would wear jeans, boots, tank or t-shirt, and a non-flannel over-shirt, maybe chambray. (and I'd also take a hoodie, because that's the way I roll)

Jeans, heeled boots and a nicer top (usually peasant style unless it's cold in which case I do a sweater).

On the whole the concerts I go to are very casual.

I went to Billy currington last night. I wore a nice pairs of Jean's, wedges and a poet sleeve top. By the end of the night I had my parka on and my tobbagion, it got cold by the water. Dressed but casual. I got tons of compliments on the shirt.

They'll be together, I would assume one set and then the other but I don't know. Super small venue, about 3500 people and we'll be in the VIP section with some higher-ups :/
I'm looking for a top now. I have a closet full of blazers and mom clothes.

Jeans, boots and a cute top with a moto jacket or something similar if it's going to be chilly. Think date night clothes. If it's going to be really warm, I might do a dress. Plan on lots of standing and wear comfy shoes.

I always wear jeans and t-shirt or tunic when I go to a concert. If I have a t-shirt for that artist, I will wear it, if not, I usually just wear a tunic. I've seen Luke Bryan 3 times - he puts on a great show - people wear jeans and boots and just a nice casual top or t-shirt.

My last concert was last year, NKOTB at Fenway Park. I wore a t-shirt and light jeans. This year I'm going to see Def Leppard and Journey at Fenway Park and will probably wear either jeans or shorts and a t-shirt. And sneakers. Always a ton of walking, so comfortable shoes.

Jeans, a t-shirt and comfortable shoes because I won't be sitting down much.
Have fun!

I go to a lot of concerts because they are part of our hockey season ticket package (and they're fun). Last year was a lot of country (yay!) and you will see just about everything. There is definitely a part of the population who will wear denim shorts, cowboy boots, and a tied up flannel shirt. I found nice jeans, a cute top, and comfortable (gotta dance!) wedges worked the best. Oh, and a small cross-body bag. One concert they must have given a block of seats to the hockey players right near us and they all had on shorts and flip flops.
I saw Pit Bull -- he puts on a good show!

He is Very laid back, and very casual. I would assume the same with pitbull, except trashier. ha. Jeans and a nice top or tshirt is perfectly fine. No matter where you are sitting.

Jeans, tank top, a second layer if it was chilly. Low heeled booties and some fun accessories. Don’t think about it too hard. A dark wash denim with a black top and some hoop earrings would look effortless but also put together.

You could go 90s grunge so it kind of works with the country and the rapper. Flannel shirt with an old concert t-shirt underneath, jeans, and some kind of heavy shoe or boot like combat boots or doc martins. For the country act, wear the flannel and button it up. For the rapper, tie the flannel around your waist. Seriously, I'd just wear a cute flowy top, jeans, and comfy shoes. I liked the moto jacket suggestion too.

Jeans, t-shirt and comfy shoes. It's a concert and you should be able to dance and move.

I still go to concerts for my favorite artists which are Marillion, Tori Amos and classically trained pianist Ludovico Einaudi who's music is difficult to classify. For each I dress differently depending on the venue.
Einaudi usually plays at the Warner Theater in Washington DC and it's an upscale place and crowd. Women are dressed up in black dresses and pearls (of course not everyone, but you get the idea) and men wear suits. So I dress up. They dress like they are seeing a classical concert.
Marillion always plays at the 9:30 Club in DC which I love because there are no assigned seats so I get a chance for a great spot. It's crowded because it's a small venue (another plus-it's a small venue) and you stand through the whole show. So number #1 for me is comfortable foot wear. I wear my Dansko Clogs, dark wash jeans and a black t-shirt. Lots of people wear their Marillion T-shirts from previous concerts.
Tori Amos plays in different venues but it's always a huge concert arena. These are assigned seats so I know I'll be sitting through the show. For these I'll wear something between the first two above. Dark jeans, a nicer shirt than the black shirt above and nicer shoes than the Dansko clogs since I'll be sitting through the show.
Hope that helps a bit. This is just how I've done it. I usually go once a year but it really depends on who's in town when. This past year all three were in town so I went to 3 concerts.
