If it's eg The Arctic Monkeys, they'd do a concert; Oasis would do a concert; Sir Cliff Richard would probably give a concert, or hold a concert; Sir Elton John might stage, present a concert; the dramatic and operatic society would put on a concert. So it's subjective, but still depends on the band.

It`s not a specific band! It`s any band. And they`re planning to do/give an open-air concert.

Jeanette Phillips Jun 10, 2009:

are we allowed to know the name of the band and the type of music?

Mirra_ Jun 10, 2009:

in my opinion the proposed definitions present small differences related to the context (that hasn't been well clarified): we organize a concert / we offer a concert / we play a concert. I do not say here which pertains to each answer just because this is not the place to comment answers. Anyway, these differences are mainly due to the fact that you *physically* play the music, or, you advertise it, or, you set the place for the performance. Or, further, a mix of two of the abovesaid three points.

They all seem correct to me, but it depends on the context, the type of perfomer, and the type of audience. If you are a young band or appealing to a young or young at heart audience, you could say "do a concert".
