Good anti blur settings for Canon Powershot SX130?

I'm going to a concert on Friday, Warped Tour to be exact. This is most definetely not my first concert, but it is my first with this camera however. I know that there is no preset anti-blur setting, so I was wondering if there was any good combination of settings that anyone uses that produce good ant-blur photos. I'm willing to try anything. I love the images this camera takes for it's price, I just need it to take better pictures of bands on a stage. Thanks in advance!

    Probably the best thing to do is quit trying to get a good picture of the concert and enjoy the show. The kind of bulky equipment that will give you a really good result capturing a concert is likely to be prohibited unless you have a photography pass. With the little SX130IS, maybe if you turn up the ISO to 400 or 800 (although noise is getting intrusive), tuck your elbows in for a good, steady hold, and ambush a moment when the performers are not moving much, you might get a not-bad shot.
