We Say Die! with me, I took a notebook and Slaughterhouse-Five with me instead of my buddies. That night, I
a) made friends with an opening act that had to ask why I was reading during part of his set
b) made friends with a local radio DJ after a long discussion about Vonnegut
c) made friends with two ladies who wanted to know what I was writing about, who then introduced me to their lesbian virtuoso sister
d) broke a story via Twitter before anyone else and supplemented a journalist (who I also met there) with details since I'd written everything down.

Sounds like the framework for a beautiful novella.
To answer the question:
Go alone. There will be people there. They will be there for the same band as you. So you're finally getting to see some enthousiasm for the music you love. Which is very nice. So, you know, GO!
StaedlerMars:
As for finding people who listen to the same music you do, have you had a look at your college's radio station?
That's usually where they all hang out, those indie kids.

I went to The xx alone and had like an hour-long chat with some guy and his gf who were standing next to me before the music started. It started out really music oriented but we eventually got onto other topics, it was fun. Made me want to do that sort of thing more often.

Agreed x100
I went to the Wolf Parade show when they came through town (3ish years ago...) ended up getting too drunk and went home with someone several years my senior who worked at my school. It was awesome.

Hell, this is something I probably should have started doing a long time ago.
