To say I'm going to a The Cliks concert, is it going to the The Cliks concert, or going to The Cliks concert

Question

I'm uncertain of whether adding another "the" would be redundant or if it would be appropriate because The Cliks is a proper noun. What do I do?

Answer 1

I think you would say the The Cliks concert. Or avoid it altogether and say you're going to see The Cliks in concert.

Answer 2

I have never heard anyone repeat the "the" such as I'm going to the The Beatles concert or the The White Stripes concert. If you feel you can't just say you're going to the Cliks concert, than just say you are going to see The Cliks in concert.

Answer 3

If the band's name is 'The Cliks' then, in theory, you would say "I'm going to the 'The Cliks' Concert." but really the word 'The' is not actually a name. The same thing happened in England in the 1960's with the band 'The Who'. Nobody ever said "I'm going to see 'Who'." they said "I'm going to see 'The Who.'. With a name like that it was easy to say "I went to the 'The Who' concert.". The first 'the' was pronounced 'thee'. Somebody mentioned the Beatles, whom I had the privilege to see twice and they were great but they weren't called 'The Beatles', they were called the 'Beatles', 'the' not being part of their name as it was in 'The Who' or, I presume 'The Cliks'.

Answer 4

I'm going to "the Cliks" concert. or I'm going to see "the Cliks" in concert.

Answer 5

Just tell everyone you're going to a concert. When they ask "Who are you going to see?"... say "The Cliks" and you'll have your bases covered.....! ... either that or say "Its none of your business!!!!"
