Concert stage: calmer LED colour and faces that still read
LED stage light turns faces pink and blue. This look turns magenta, purple and blue down, keeps the blacks deep and holds the spotlights.
True to cameraConcert stage
Drag to compare. Left of the line is True to camera, the plainest look; right of it is Concert stage at full strength, rendered from the same file.

When we'd reach for it
Concerts and gigs, theatre and dance, sangeet and reception stages, club nights.
When we wouldn't
Shows where the coloured light is the whole point. Turn the strength down or pick Low-key dramatic.
The recipe
These are the settings stored in the look, drawn rather than listed. They sit on top of your camera's own colour and the exposure and white balance CullTone sets for each photo, so the same look lands a little differently on every frame.
Every look has a strength from 0 to 1.5. At 0 you get the plain camera-matched edit, at 1 the look as drawn here, and above 1 more of everything it does. More on reading curves in tone curves for photographers.
