How it's used
Refers specifically to a performance where a singer or band is the main act, distinct from a general music festival or a smaller live house gig. It carries a sense of a major, ticketed event that people plan to attend in advance. When discussing the experience, locals often focus on the stage production and the atmosphere rather than just the music itself.

Common mistake
Avoid using it for small, informal musical gatherings or street performances, as those are usually called 表演 or 演出. It is strictly for professional, large scale shows.
