...or whatever Bootsy's guitarist is wearing here
everyone will know your really rockin when they see your sweaty buttocks
Whatever you do, don't wear shorts or a kilt. Godot forbid you should be able to play comfortable lest the TB-Pants-Police-Brigade track you down and revoke your license to play bass.
There's gotta be a Bedouin solution than heat-trapping trousers...
No need to robe yourself of the opportunity to be comfortable and still Sheik Yerbouti...

Oh, and don't wear cotton briefs, they just soak up all that sweat, chafe and make things uncomfy and potentially put some fungal in your jungle. I would recommend “moisture-wicking” synthetics — boxer briefs, as loose boxers or tight-fitting underwear tend to bunch up and chafe in some fairly uncomfortable spots.
A nylon/spandex wicking blend will help keep you dry, and wont ride up nor fall down while you're doing your Flea impression on stage.
And wear black... it tends to hide the sweat-stain better.

Corn starch......works in Hot kitchens for 12 hour shifts.....much worse then the hottest stage lights
Just let it flow. Everyone there will be in the same boat, floating on an ocean of sweat.
Quit your band. Beg them to take you back when it gets cooler.
Depends. Can you get some ice and a bucket for yourself?
Is it a formal event?
How do you feel about Elvis?

No powder for me, but ^this^ fer sure. when it starts getting hot.
And ^this^. If it's warm enough it's shorts, that's just the way it is.
The term going commando originated in the Viet Nam war. The standard issue underwear was cotton, in the intense heat and humidity of the area it caused intense chafing and discomfort. Soldiers quickly figured out that it's much more comfortable without them.
So that's what I would do. Also maybe some of that monkey butt powder.

Q: What is worn under the kilt?
A: Nothing is worn. It's all in excellent condition!
