Hey! This is the sentence where i am not sure to use 'ser' or 'estar' I thought it would be:
Este domingo voy a participar en un concierto. Va a estar en una iglesia histórica en el centro de la ciudad.
I thought because it was describing a place it would be 'estar' but someone has corrected me saying it was 'ser'
Any ideas? Thanks

Please fill out your profile , We have members learning English , so it is not cool to begin a sentence with an interjection. - ray76, Feb 28, 2014

You use estar for the location of people and things but for events like concerts you use ser.

Thank you! So i need to use va a ser? - hellojoco, Feb 27, 2014
If you were choosing between ser and estar, yes it would be ser. There are other options though, tener lugar or as Annie says celebrarse. - Kiwi-Girl, Feb 27, 2014

Se celebra is better for an event.
Este domingo se celebra el concierto en la iglésia histórica ( or whenever)
