It would probably die your skin,

No, get a different method to dye your shirt.

certainly you could but you can’t get it wet or the dye will make you look
like it.

Yellow is not very strong you will need a lot.
Add just a little red to deepen the yellow (not much )

your concert sounds like fun.
You might try splattering the color onto the cloth.
It will look like tie dye.
By mixing the dye with just enough water to saturate the cloth
will give the deepest colors.
It probably wont work at all if it is not 100% cotton.

a 50-50 cotton-polyester will dye but much lighter.
