Skipping anniversary?

Hey guys!

My boyfriend and I will have been together for 1 year at the end of this month. He's amazing and we both agree that this is the best relationship either of us have been in so far. We've been planning out something really special for a few months now. Well recently he found out that his favorite band is playing a show downtown and a ton of his old friends from elementary and middle school are all flying up for it so he's understandably super excited. So what's my problem? The show is on our anniversary and he wants to skip the whole day to go to the concert! I get that his old friends are going to be in town and I really want him to see them and have a good time but due to work and school , neither of us have much free time to just "reschedule" our anniversary and somehow celebrating 3 weeks later (the next time we're both free) just doesn't excite me too much anyway. I'm really upset that we won't even get to hang out, much less do any of the stuff that we planned.

I tried to sit down and talk to him about it but I didn't tell him just how angry it made me because I don't want to have to guilt him into seeing things my way. I'm just angry because he already said we weren't buying each other gifts (his last girlfriend hated that kind of thing) and now he's taking the day away too. He was the one who made a huge deal about making our 1 year really memorable in the first place. I wish it didn't upset me and I don't feel like I'm over reacting. Should I try to talk to him again? What should I do?
