Nud-i-Tease Burlesque at Launchpad

Launchpad

High Desert Heatwave's burlesque showcase takes over Launchpad for a late Saturday night run of striptease-informed performance art, the kind of show that leans more theatrical than titillating and rewards an audience that shows up ready to be in on the joke. Launchpad is a rock venue at its bones, which means the sightlines from...

Carma 3-Year Anniversary Party Downtown

El Rey Theater

Carma, one of the more quietly consistent electronic promoters working Albuquerque's late-night circuit, throws its third anniversary with a four-act lineup that spans Burn the Disco, Thot Daughter, Wyatt Lawson, and Mattice. Insideout runs small and close, which means the sound hits harder than you'd expect and personal space is a negotiation. This one starts...

Most Epic Afters at Gaia’s Kava Root

Gaia's Kava Root

This is a midnight-to-morning two-room party at a kava bar on Central, with hip hop up front and EDM in the Bass Tunnel, running until 10am Sunday. Gaia's is genuinely low-key about the kava side of things, which keeps the crowd self-selecting toward people who want to be present for the music rather than just...

Welker Afterparty at Space at 515 Downtown

Kimo Theatre

The Neon Dreams official afterparty lands at Space at 515 with Welker behind the decks, running from what converts to late Saturday night through the early Sunday morning hours. Space at 515 is a small room that rewards dancing over spectating, so if you're showing up to stand near the wall, there are better options....

Old Town Gazebo

Flambeaux takes the Old Town Gazebo for a Sunday evening set, one of the few live music slots at a venue that draws as many tourists as locals. The gazebo's...

Isotopes vs. Round Rock Express

Isotopes Park

The Isotopes, Triple-A affiliate of the Colorado Rockies, take on the Round Rock Express (Rangers affiliate) under the lights at one of the better mid-level ballparks in the country. Isotopes Park sits right on Central, which means you can walk to a handful of decent post-game spots without moving your car. Tickets through Ticketmaster vary...

Tablao Flamenco Sunday Matinee

Tablao Flamenco Albuquerque at Hotel Albuquerque

Three bailaores, a cantaor, and a guitarrista perform a full tablao-format flamenco show in the intimate venue inside Hotel Albuquerque, one of the few places in the country running this kind of structured, ensemble flamenco regularly. Noelle Encinias is a name that carries real weight in New Mexico flamenco circles, and seeing her share the...

Keeping Up with the Joneses at The Hall

The Hall

Keeping Up with the Joneses takes the stage at The Hall for a late set that runs to 3 a.m. on a Sunday morning. The Hall sits right on the...

Metal & Hardcore Night at Launchpad

Launchpad

Four local and regional heavy acts share the Launchpad stage in a late-night bill that skews hard, with The Tewa headlining above a mix of styles that ranges from hardcore...

Cruise Control & Speed One at Insideout

Inside Out

A late-night DJ pairing at Insideout puts Cruise Control alongside Speed One for a set that runs three hours deep into the weekend. Insideout is a compact room and the...
