I’m not wearing a fckng surgical mask to a concert.
The chance of getting the COVID Mach 2 if you are vaccinated is less than 10 percent, I’ll take those odds.

Seems to be pretty good odds to me. Most likely riskier than playing Russian Roulette with a 12 shot revolver.
Okay you may not die, but still...

what's with the "12 shot revolver" analogy? You're the 2nd person w/ this (horrible) analogy...unless you are the same person, of course.
Your "safety" at the Stones depends on who YOU are...there is NO "one size fits all" Risk Assessment.....
1) for one.....1/12 = 8.3%
2) for two...bullet to head = death
3) the Vaccinated survive Covid at like 99% or something to that effect
4) Covid affects the eldery, the sick, the obese far differently than the young, healthy and in-shape.....last I checked, bullet-to-head stats don't vary by any demographics.
Conclusion: Covid is (literally) nothing like Russian Roulette...and this is just about the worst way to assess your risk at a concert (or anywhere else OTHER than a Russian Roulette Tournament, for that matter).
If you are vaccinated, you are pretty darn safe.
If you are young, healthy and have a normal BMI....you're extremely safe if you are vaccinated.
If you are old, sick or obese....you're less safe, but if you're vaccinated, you're still pretty safe.
If you are not vaccinated....you are at MUCH greater risk(s)....however, those risks vary wildly depending on your age, BMI and overall health.
Regardless, life has risks. Either you navigate them and go out...or you stay home....it's really up to you....but to compare Covid to Russian Roulette is simply absurd....such posts are nothing but misinformation.
In the end, the vax exists, masks exist, sanitizer exists....risk exists.
Do you feel safe at the Stones? I don't know...up to you to decide based on all of the above.
By the way, as far as my understanding, there hasn't been a 12-shot revolver since the 19thC....
...and, my Mom (80) and my Dad (83) just kicked Covid's arse...both vaccinated, both in exceptional shape.
I don't think they can kick a bullet's arse, but they are going to the Stones.

Some may regard wearing masks as uncool, saying, “it’s not rock ‘n’ roll.” Jason Isbell says, "I'm all for freedom but I think if you're dead, you don't have any freedoms at all." To paraphrase his expression, if you are dead, you ain’t cool anymore.

I agree with most of what you're saying and congratulations to your parents.
The only thing I would add is that while everything you're saying describes the personal situation, the broader issue which is spreading this further to the unvaxxed is just going to increase the misery and potential for new variants to emerge.
I know it's their own 'fault'. Still, they believe what they believe. If they could understand the facts I have to believe a rational human being wouldn't make the choice not to take a free vaccination.
