The nifty-fifty is a fantastic lens, and you can get it for less than $100.
For a concert you want something that has a max aperture of f/2.8 or larger. If you've got a well lit venue, you might be able to get away with f/4 or f/5.6 like on your kit lens.
If you can afford it, I suggest you get the EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS USM that PhotoNewt suggested. Since you said it'll be a large venue, I'm not sure if the 85mm f/1.8 I use would get you close enough, but you might get away with using an EF-S 50-250 f/4-5.6 if it's bright enough.
