I’ve managed to get it working by retrieving fields values from the POST request.

function show_update_postdata( $value, $post_id, $field ) {

        // Get values from POST
        $date = strtotime($_POST['acf']['field_595cf97c444c0']);
        $band = get_the_title($_POST['acf']['field_595cfa314cf4b']);
        $country = $_POST['acf']['field_595cf99f444c1'];
        $city = $_POST['acf']['field_595cf9f1444c2'];

        // Custom post title
        $formatted_date = date_i18n('F jS, Y', $date);
        $title = $band . ' @ ' . $city . ', ' . $country . ' - ' . $formatted_date;
        $slug = sanitize_title( $title );
        $postdata = array(
             'ID'          => $post_id,
             'post_title'  => $title,
             'post_type'   => 'show',
             'post_name'   => $slug
        );

        wp_update_post( $postdata );
        return $value;

}
add_filter('acf/update_value/name=date', 'show_update_postdata', 10, 3);
add_filter('acf/update_value/name=band', 'show_update_postdata', 10, 3);
add_filter('acf/update_value/name=city', 'show_update_postdata', 10, 3);
add_filter('acf/update_value/name=country', 'show_update_postdata', 10, 3);
