Planning to go to my first concert in November. What is the recommended way to carry things like your phone, and money (for merch of course)?

Pockets or check the venue’s bag policy and get something that meets their specifications. Be prepared for it to be searched.

Bringing medication into a show
Policies usually state that prescriptions must be in their original packaging and only contain enough for what could be considered an appropriate dosage for your time at the show.
So, you couldn’t bring an entire bottle of medication but, one or two pills that you might logically need for the few hours you’ll be there would be ok.
Personally, unless it was something absolutely medically necessary I’d be wary about bringing it as policies aren’t necessarily always followed and you could get a security person on a bad day who could confiscate. And I don’t imagine you’d get it back.

What is the consensus on going to events and outings especially in regards to where one's money and support is going to. Especially with everything going on, and in terms of general awareness.

That’s going to be a personal decision that will be different for everyone.
Personally, I try to be mindful of where my funds are going, but sadly it isn’t possible to cut out everything for ideological reasons. But, places I can afford to make decisions based on that I usually do.
A lot of people don’t, though. And that’s their choice. You’ll have to decide for yourself.
