Depending on the gig, there's some things you can get away with.
Most typically I shoot ISO 800, with 1/100 shutter. I used to shoot my f/3.5 - 5.6 kit lens and get decent results, but only if the stage is well-lit. I haven't gotten to shoot any concerts since the summer (ie since I've gotten some new lenses) but my advice is to shoot manual (Av never gets the crazy lighting right), don't be afraid to underexpose slightly, and don't be afraid to ramp the ISO if you don't have enough light.
Don't worry about a monopod.
Concerts are tricky but not impossible. If your shots are shitty without a flash use a slow, rear curtain flash sync for insta-art concert shots that look neat. That's if flash is allowed, be sure to ask.
Get the 50 f/1.8, it'll come in handy for a lot more than concerts.
