It's great for concerts, as well. Many venues have a limit on the size of the lenses they allow. The 45-175 will often fall below that threshold. Or, just keep the lens hidden, and enter the venue with a pancake or PZ 14-42 on your GX, GF, G or PEN, and it looks like a P&S or bridge camera. You just pop on the 45-175 after the show starts.

Is it bright enough though? I usually bring a fast prime to a concert. Never really considered this one because of limited aperture range.

Bright enough as a video lens in most cases. If shooting stills it depends on how good the camera is at high ISO and how still the performers are.
