    live musicDetails

    The New Mexico Music Hall of Fame is putting on a four-hour concert at the Route 66 Visitor Center, which means the lineup will skew toward artists with genuine roots in the state rather than passing acts. The Visitor Center's outdoor plaza holds a crowd comfortably but fills up once word gets around, so arriving...

    Isotopes Park
    UNM AreasportsTickets

    New Mexico United brings Sacramento Republic FC to Isotopes Park for a USL Championship regular-season match on a Saturday evening in late September.

  • Haunted High Tea

    Painted Lady Bed & Brew
    Wells Parkarts & cultureTickets

    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...

    A live concert production built around the songs of the 1960s, staged at Popejoy Hall on the UNM campus.

  • Tablao Flamenco Saturday Show

    Tablao Flamenco Albuquerque at Hotel Albuquerque
    world musicTickets

    A seated flamenco show in the tablao format, meaning performers work close to the audience in a room built for this kind of intensity rather than a concert stage. Hotel Albuquerque's venue on Central gives it a weightier setting than most flamenco pop-ups in town, and the tablao structure tends to produce the kind of...
