The Fray & Dashboard Confessional at Sandia Casino
September 17 · 8:00 pm - 10:00 pm
Two mid-2000s alt-rock acts sharing a bill at Sandia’s amphitheater, which means a lot of piano-forward anthems and acoustic catharsis for anyone who had strong feelings about 2006. The outdoor venue sits at the base of the Sandias and gets genuinely cold after sundown in September, so a layer is not optional. This one is off the Central corridor, but the amphitheater has decent sightlines and the sound holds up better than you might expect from a casino stage.
