Voy a escuchar mi banda favorita en el restaurante.
Hola mis amigos.

Escribí algo hace dos horas. Sin embargo, necesito mas clarificación con dos frases.

¿Qué es mejor decir?

Voy a escuchar mi banda favorita en el restaurante.

Neither sentence is correct. The personal 'a' is not needed. (When the direct object is a person, you need the personal 'a'. A band is composed of people, but isn't itself a person.)
In the second sentence you didn't translate a word and misspelled another.

If you're wondering whether "I'm going to listen to" is better than "I'll listen to," that is a question of which one you want to say. Many choose to use the "ir + a + infinitive" structure over the future tense.

I fixed the spelling. Thanks for the clarification.

The misspelled word is still there. You translated the word that wasn't.
The second sentence still contains the unnecessary personal 'a'.

I'll make sure not to make this same mistake again.

I was quite shocked I made such a basic error.

I guess it's good I made the silly mistake here and not in my paragraphs, right?
