More details to this question:
Can you parody images on it (e.g. a picture used by a band in the past, with changes)? Can you express the name of the band and venue in your own way (e.g. using a different font or logo)? T-shirt not for sale, just for personal use.

The question does not come up because no one attempts to enforce copyrights/trademark rights against an individual that makes one t-shirt. You would need to do something very significant while wearing the t-shirt to get it noticed enough that a rights holder would make an issue of it.
