If you love what you do and you're confident in your set that's what the audience will see! You're gonna rock that show to the tits! If the words that others have already shared aren't enough, I say go chug a beer before you're on stage KICK ASS!
Uh oh, we're drunk again.

Just go up there, savor the moment of your first real crowd, sit down/stand (depending on what instrument you play), take a deep breath, then start playing. Be glad you've practiced a lot, I can tell you from personal experiences that it's much scarier when you know you have to perform really well without actually having practiced enough Good luck!

trust yourself- you know your shit, and even if you fuck up, if you fuck up with confidence the audience won't know the difference

Best of luck with it Besi!

Just have confidence that you know your stuff and go out and enjoy it =)

From personal experience, the band I was in used to just try and relax and think on anything other than the show (till we needed to actually do something related to it/soundcheck etc) for a bit in the run up to it.

Generally the nerves are gone as soon as you get the first song underway (unless your guitarist gets carried away and steps on your mic cable causing an awkward moment of silence >__>), so we liked to try not think about things too much prior to going on. If your band would prefer to think things over before you go live then do that, it's all about feeling comfortable, so whatever reassures you is the best idea =)

It gets easier the more you do it, and you'll work out what gets you in the right frame of mind before a gig ^^

well, i just came back, and it sucked balls, I mean from my standpoint and the rest of the band, we did everything perfectly, but the crowd just wasn't into it, we were the only metal band at a punk rock festival, so no one really gave a crap about anything we did, but as long as we think we did a ok job, nothing else matters i guess.

my school concert band performed for the first time (for me) last year as well.. i just made sure i played quitely and got covered by the others in my section and focused on playing it right. maybe dont be quite.. but just focus on what to do and you'll be fine...

its cake

I guess il recap this in a bit more detail now that im awake, since you guys helped me out a lot.

Turned out only about 60 people showed up, and out of those 60 people 3 or 4 actually listend to the type of music we play, so we get 10 minutes for a sound check, get up on stage and start playing. The stage was really huge so I couldnt see my other guitarist and coordinate with him on some of the harder parts, everything still sounded ok from where I was standing, but some friends in the audience told me afterwards that my guitar was barely audible in the crowd, which sucks. The crowd was uninterested and just stared at us, but I guess thats what will hapen when you play metal for a punk rock crowd.

All in all I wasnt nervous because I kinda saw beforehand that not much people will show up and that the whole event was degrading into a joke, so I just went out and played. Met some cool people from another band afterwards that said they could get us a gig with a more metal crowd, had some drinks, guess it wasnt bad for the first time, techical problems aside.

Dont worry you will be awesome. when i had time before my race (BMX/MTB) i just went out for a walk with my best friend maybe had a beer, just talk and relax. Croatia is beautiful place to leave you probably have tons of places where you love to go from time to time.
Good luck
