Let me try to translate it.
This weekend, i grabbled my mom in Warwick.
On Sunday,we watched Nizlopi on the "Warwick town square"(like on tv).
Just kidding, try to write its original English one, because i really can not realize the meaning...

"Bu hafta sonu annemi Warwick'de ziyaret ettim."
"This weekend I have visithed my mother in Warwick."
I guess you were inspired by this page for using yoklamak. It's not a good translation for "visit".

Here are my translations:
yoklamak > to have a quick look
to visit > ziyaret etmek

dinlemek???
In English that would imply that we went there are listened to a band through a sound system rather than actually seeing the musicians perform live. Does Turkish use "listen" rather than "watch" to refer to live music?
Also - why pazar günü?

Days, months, colours are always used like that.
Pazar günü
Aralık aynı
Kahve rengi

Why I don't know...you should ask Erdinc

Yes, I would prefer "dinlemek" even though when it is live. "izlemek" or "seyretmek" or anything smillar implies a play/threatre I think.
"pazar günü" = "on Sunday"
pazar, pazartesi etc. are the names of the week. They are not referring to an actuall day of this week or previous.
Btw, we write them without capital letters.
