Hi Chris,
If it is daylight and you are able to get onto the stage, then I think
you will be just fine handheld. I had a backstage pass to an event
called Hilversum Live last week. It was also during the day, and I had
no difficulty shooting at ISO 400:

(sorry for the off-topic equipment, these were all shot with the Canon
1DII).
