The first thing that springs to mind, of course, is transport. Getting to the venue, unless you have your own car, will be difficult (and taxi drivers will be extremely busy). As for the concert itself, I'm not sure, as general strikes only affect public services, not private ones. If EDF decide to have power cuts during the concert, clearly you will be affected, but these things only happen rarely as far as I am aware... Hope that helps!
