Would you go to a Pop/Rock concert heavily pregnant?

Maybe it is a silly question ...
But Robbie Williams (supported by none other than Duran Duran) is playing in Auckland on December 6th. My friend can (through her work) get good tickets for not much money and wants me to go with her, knowing that I still lust after the young Robster and would love to relive my youth by seeing Duran Duran again.
Thing is ... I will be 32 weeks pregnant! Would you go? Should I go? Should I take my head out of the clouds and accept that I should grow up now that I am a mother of one/soon to be two? Would it be awfully sad for a heavily pregnant woman to be seen bopping away and screaming at said Pop Stars??
What would you do? Am I mad even to consider it?

I was told that very loud/deep/bass noises are disburbing to newborns... Why you shouldn't take them to fireworks displays. Don't know about in utero, but if it bothers newborns I would definitely check if loud bass noises might bother late gestation fetuses.

Go, I went to a outdoor festival type thing when 7 months pregnant but was slightly spoilt by freebie seats/hosp by company I used to work for. Dd was silent throughout until New Order came on and then bounced around as if she was a music critic.

PS Have to say, would rather watch paint dry than the Robster but am in minority

Go, go, GO!
I went to loads of things like that, inc clubs and Notting Hill Carnival when I was 6.5 months and everyone around me were all so lovely and made way for me, as I was walking through people would shout ahead to mind out of the way pregnant lady coming through etc etc. Embarrassing but very sweet and I felt totally safe and protected. Walked everywhere with hand and arm in front of me so belly didn't accidentally get nudged but there was no fear of that.
Have a great time.

Given that you phased the question in such a personal way, I have to answer that I personally wouldn't. I went to the ARIA awards in Sydney when I was pregnant and the crush of people bothered me, walking down stairs painted black bothered me and people taking drugs in the bathroom bothered me. I was only 4mths and overall I would say I had fun and the music was great and it was interesting to see Kylie up close, but at 32 weeks (I had my baby @ 35), a real concert ... (sorry to sound so boring )
