• International Thursday’s at Bourbon & Boots

    Downtownworld musicDetails

    Bourbon & Boots runs this recurring late-night set on Thursday, pulling from global sounds in a bar that leans country by day. The room shifts considerably after midnight, so arriving early means a quieter crowd and more floor space than you'll have by 1 a.m. A ticket link exists through Posh, though whether that means...

  • Hot Girl Summer at Launchpad

    Launchpad
    Downtownbar sceneTickets

    Five local acts share the Launchpad stage for a night built around the kind of sweaty, unapologetic summer energy the name promises. Launchpad runs late and the crowd tends to arrive late too, so the early slots on a bill like this are where you catch something before everyone else figures it out. Tickets are...

  • 505 Junglist Drum & Bass Night

    Downtownbar sceneTickets

    505 Junglist is back with a six-DJ drum and bass showcase, putting Syndicrypt, Halfblud, MS Vicious, DNDY, MYDNYTE, and Jayzo G on the same bill at Insideout. This is Albuquerque's most consistent jungle and DnB crew doing what they do on home turf, and the room at Insideout is small enough that the bass actually...

  • Alex Maryol Live at Marble Brewery Downtown

    Downtownbar sceneDetails

    Alex Maryol is one of those New Mexico guitar players who has been at this long enough that the blues he plays feels lived-in rather than performed. Marble's downtown patio carries sound well on summer nights, but the indoor bar fills up fast once the set starts, so arriving early gets you a better spot...

  • Carma 3-Year Anniversary Party Downtown

    El Rey Theater
    Downtownbar sceneTickets

    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...

  • Alyssah & the Red Hot Ristras Live

    Marble Brewery Downtown
    Downtownlive musicDetails

    Alyssah and the Red Hot Ristras bring their set to Marble's downtown taproom on a Friday night, which means the patio crowd will be loud and the bar will be moving. Marble's indoor stage area holds sound reasonably well for a brewery, but if you want to actually hear the vocals, arriving early enough to...

  • Alyssah & The Red Hot Ristras at Marble Downtown

    Marble Brewery Downtown
    Downtownbar sceneDetails

    Alyssah & The Red Hot Ristras bring their New Mexico-rooted sound to Marble's downtown patio, which on a warm August Friday night turns into one of the better outdoor rooms on the corridor. Marble's outdoor setup carries sound well enough that you won't be straining to hear, but get there early if you want a...

  • Adobe Disco at Insideout

    El Rey Theater
    Downtownbar sceneTickets

    Adobe Disco is a ticketed late-night dance event at Insideout, running from 9 PM to 1 AM on a Friday night in Downtown Albuquerque. Insideout is one of the few spots on Central that can actually hold a proper dance floor crowd without feeling like a fire code violation, so if the night fills up...

  • Allyson’s Way Live at Marble Brewery Downtown

    Marble Brewery Downtown
    Downtownbar sceneDetails

    Allyson's Way takes the outdoor stage at Marble's Downtown taproom on a Saturday night in August, which means warm air, cold beer, and a crowd that arrived early for the patio. No source description was provided for this one, so treat admission as unconfirmed and check the ticket link before you commit to the drive.

  • Strange Mix with DJ Brad Cole

    El Rey Theater
    Downtownlate-nightTickets

    Brad Cole's Strange Mix nights have built a reputation on Downtown's late-night circuit for genuinely unpredictable programming, the kind of set where the genre doesn't matter as much as the...
