Not much you can do about that. The higher the ISO, the more noise you get. Most consumer camera's have small sensors (How many pixels a camera has is the the holy grail), thus being less able to collect light when shooting.
This why people pay big bucks for Professional cameras.
What you can do (But you need to check the features on the Powershot) is to select the right settings eg. Night shot, slower shutter speed or higher aperture. All of these are only good if you have a tripod and not shooting people.

Assumptions: 1) You can get past security with your equipment 2) ASA 800 film is readily available, otherwise you're stuck with ASA 400 3) You really should use a tripod or mini pod and a remote shutter release 4) The stage, especially if tightly cropped (long telephoto lens) will be brightly lit 5) You can get back out of the concert with your equipment Conclusion: Bottom line is that everyone involved in concert production is trying to put the lid on photography by the fans. Artists, labels, the music unions etc. Some venues even pat you down coming in. If they say no photos, they mean it (despite the number of flashes you see during the show) so it's not worth taking a chance. At the very least, you risk breaking local ordinances and at the worst, copyright laws. If you try to sell your photos, you're poking a stick in the eye of many federal and commercial organizations. They'll hunt you down...a popular sport now for the feds and the big music companies. With that said, go enjoy the show. And please, please don't try to make an audio recording.

Night shots are tough with this camera. High ISO will not really help.
If you have still subject matter, then use Night Scene mode, or manual mode with the lowest Aperture and very low Shutter Speed settings. You will need a tripod or other stable surface to hold camera still for a long exposure.
If you have moving subject matter, you need a much more expensive camera with a very fast expensive lens.
Sorry there is no easy answer.
Good Luck

It's normal to get "noise" at ISO400, try a lower ISO setting.

At short distances, a flashlight might help.
