Part of Painted Lady's Brews & Boos series, this is a ticketed evening of tarot readings with Triple Moon Bewitched in one of the more genuinely atmospheric rooms on the corridor. The Bed & Brew's interior does a lot of the heavy lifting here, the kind of space where this sort of thing doesn't feel...
Dexter and The Moonrocks are on the El Rey stage, one of the better mid-size rooms on the Central corridor for catching a band at close range. The Ticketmaster link is live, so this one is moving through a formal box office, which usually means the act has real production behind it. Worth grabbing tickets...
104.1 The Edge is sending Dexter and the Moonrocks through Albuquerque on the 12 Steps Tour, with High June opening at El Rey on Central. El Rey's long room can feel cavernous for a two-band bill, so arriving early puts you closer to the stage before the crowd fills in behind you. Tickets are through...
A rodeo-themed party night at Gaia's Kava Root, the kava bar on Central that doubles as one of the more reliably energetic late-night spots near campus. The 18+ door keeps it college-adjacent without being strictly all-ages, and the kava bar setup means you can pace yourself differently than you would at a standard venue. Tickets...
The Lobo Sports Vault pulls the full Saturday NCAA slate across multiple screens, with every New Mexico Lobos game getting the big screen when the room is available for it. This is a sports bar setup inside a 1939 movie palace, which means the bones of the room are genuinely interesting even if your team...
Wickedly Cunning and Lunatyk Arts are staging a Halloween-season high tea at Painted Lady Bed & Brew, which means expect theatrical weirdness layered over the scones-and-small-plates format rather than a straight costume party. Painted Lady is a genuinely eccentric space on Central, and events from this production pairing tend to commit to the bit in...
Calle 66 plays live salsa at Marble Brewery's Downtown location, one of the more spacious rooms on the corridor with enough floor space to actually move. The bar setup means you can grab a pint and watch from the edges if you need a few songs before committing to the floor. A ticket link exists,...
JMSN, the Detroit-bred R&B singer and self-producing one-man operation, brings his late-night, heavily atmospheric sound to Sister the Bar. The room runs small and close, which suits his music better than a theater would. Lensic 360 presenting means the production attention is a step above a typical bar booking.
Gaia's Kava Root is throwing a throwback dance night, the kind of set where the playlist does most of the heavy lifting. The kava bar format means you can actually be present on the dance floor without the usual bar-crowd noise floor working against you. Admission details aren't posted, so check their Instagram before you...
