Advice for concert photography. Having trouble with red lighting?

I've recently gotten into concert photography for a website. I've been doing photography for a couple of years now, mostly just casually until a friend of a friend saw a few shots I put up from some events I had attended.

Long story short I've started doing photography for his music website. When I do larger shows, I tend to not have any problems. There's enough lighting that I'm competent enough to get the shots I want. However when I do smaller shows, particularly at this one place that loves red lighting, I'm struggling. Is there any advice someone can give me for shooting in red lighting? My photos are coming out somewhat blurry and washed out.

I've figured out the blue lighting the place likes to use. Using Photoshop's skin tone corrector seems to clear that up no problem, but red is a thorn in my side.

I'm shooting with the Sony Nex system, with mostly prime lenses, but I've had the same trouble with the zoom lenses as well. Don't knock the camera as I have plenty of great shots from the concerts I've attended. I'm more concerned with knowing a setting that might get me past this lighting, not "Get a Nikon/Canon".

Explanation of Camera Lenses and lighting?

I recently purchased a Nikon D3300 and only have the lens it comes with, a 18-55mm. I'm able to take some good pics but I feel like I really need something to focus on. I really want to get something as small as the texture and detail on a rock or moss "hairs." Lower mm to higher mm is for range/distance so do I just need a lower mm or a special lens altogether?

I only use manual mode and plan to go to school for photography so I wanted some info on how lights should be used and what lights I should get/use. Outside lighting is fine now no matter how dark the day is so far but in an incandescent room I just can't get anything to show up even after playing around any tips other than using flash?

I'm open to any other info and advice I'm signing up in a few months and trying to get a head start. I really appreciate the help and time you took to read all this.

Should I switch to mirrorless?

Two years ago, I splurged on a Nikon D5200… And then a whole new world opened up to me. I swapped up for a Nikon D7100, and I've been loving it (I know the D5200 and the D7100 have the same sensor… But dang are they different to use).

I own two lenses: a 35mm prime and a 11-16mm superwide. I've achieved great results with both.

But I noticed that I do a lot of indoor or dark photography. It's rare that I'm outside in full sunlight. Compared to full-frame shots, I'm noticing my photos suffering from needing to be at high ISO and low shutter speeds on my crop-sensor.

I'd love a full-frame camera, but I don't have $4000 to spend. On the other hand, $2000 for a full-frame mirrorless with what looks like a decent kit lens sounds very attractive, especially with the phenomenal results I've been seeing with the new A7 Mark II.

And I've also started dabbling in video, and I'm told Nikon (insofar as my D7100 is concerned) is inferior.

My reservation, obviously, is switching to a whole new platform. In addition, my eyesight has somewhat deteriorated and I find viewfinders difficult to use. I rarely produce sharp pictures using viewfinder and manual focus. If I have to use manual focus, I always use live view.

Any thoughts on the matter would be great!

What's better a Nikon camera or a Canon?

I'm very into photography. I would like to take pictures that can zoom in with high definition I also like to model in my pictures along with friends. I want the camera to be able to focus on the image well and i'm very artistic (if that helps). I would also like the camera to have effects I can put on the pictures (filters maybe) although I'm good with photoshop so I can do that myself but it would be cool if it had that.

Camera can only take pictures sometimes?

I'm using a Nikon DSLR. I noticed that the Fxx/x thingy which i think is the aperture, becomes F --/- . There are usually digits after the F to show the amount of light but it becomes blank ( - ) sometimes and that is when my camera won't capture pictures. I can take many pictures at a time and the next second, I can't ( When the F becomes blank ) This happens at any light intensity.
