I like concerts, my enjoyment of music outweighs any discomfort of crowds. However if its not something I really enjoy then its harder to deal with.

Your lucky, i went to one concert and the music was too loud for me to even HEAR it, it was just a muffled beat!

I used to go to concerts when I was younger but I think as I've gotten older, I've gotten more sensitive to loud noise and jostling crowds.

Fall Out Boy are touring Australia next year and I can't make up my mind if I want to go and see them or not.

I love attending a classical music concert.
Sensory delight getting lost in the music.
If I go alone a bonus as I don't have to socialise.
Concerts are great because one does one thing at a time. Concentrate and indeed get lost in the music for teh concert, do chit chat etc in the interval.

On the other hand, situations where there is both loud music AND one is expected to do social stuff at the same time are a great trial and something I avoid.

That is the worst feeling for me and will guarantee I get a sensory overload.

That is how I feel; although I might be interested in markets, fairs, and festivals, and even enjoy some aspects, I cannot handle all of the sensory input and require my sensory toolkit (earplugs, sunglasses, mints, rubber ball, fidget cube, etc.).
