but is the phrase "ви будете іти на цей концерт?" possible at all in this meaning? (it is definitely impossible in russian but maybe ukrainian is different)

От контекста запис зависит. В некоторых случаях вполне возможно так сказать в русском) если кто-то остановился по пути на концерт посреди улицы и тут, например.
And generally speaking, are there rules about when to use іти, йти, and ити, or are they interchangeable?
Of course! Іти is used after consonants, йти after vowels, ити just doesn't exist.
Where I come from, nobody would say "will you go ...?" They would say "Are you going to this concert?"

Why is this version not accepted as correct? - Are you going to the concert? - Absolutely correct as grammatically and in meaning.
Будеш іти is just the mirror structure for will go. We would ask підеш? Піти is the perfective form of іти. In future tense ітимеш, підеш.
Unfortunately, you can't use "for" in this sentence. You have to use "to."

If you say like that to ukrainian aborigens they will smile and laugh but understand you.
Концерт is Accusative here, because preposition на requires Accusative when meaning "where to?" (German wohin?)
Концерті is locative, which is only used after prepositions (never alone) meaning where? (German wo?)
Thus, I go to the concert - Я йду на концерт. I am at the concert - Я на концерті.
Thank you for the very clear explanation. Now I just have to commit that to memory (концерті = wo, концерт = wohin) :)
Sure. Similarly, German uses Accusative with wohin (in die Schule) and Dative with wo (in der Schule).
