• Noche De Despecho Latin Karaoke at Nob Hill’s Lobo Theater

    Historic Lobo Theater
    Nob HilllatinDetails

    This touring karaoke concept, already running in Chicago, Las Vegas, and Mexico City, lands at the Lobo with a specific emotional premise: you show up, pick a ranchera or a bolero, and let the song do the work that words alone never quite manage. The room will be full of people who already understand why...

  • Los Texmaniacs & Lisa Morales at KiMo

    Kimo Theatre
    DowntownculturalTickets

    Los Texmaniacs, the Grammy-winning San Antonio conjunto band led by Max Baca, share the KiMo stage with Lisa Morales, whose voice carries equal parts grit and tenderness through corridos and Americana. The KiMo's 1927 Pueblo Deco interior does something interesting to accordion-heavy music, the room breathes with it in a way a modern venue simply...

  • Live Improv Comedy at The Box

    Outpost Performance Space
    UNM AreacomedyTickets

    Two improv groups share the stage at The Box for an hour of unscripted comedy, the kind where the audience suggestions actually matter and occasionally derail everything in the best...

  • Morgan Page at Effex Nightclub

    Effex
    DowntownLate NightDetails

    Morgan Page is a Grammy-nominated progressive house producer with a catalog stretching back to the mid-2000s, and this is a proper touring DJ set, not a local opener night. Effex runs late and the room gets loud fast, so if you want a good spot on the floor, arriving close to doors matters more here...

  • LEROY EP Release Show at Launchpad

    Launchpad
    Downtownlive musicTickets

    LEROY's 'Back to School' EP release brings four local acts to Launchpad for a late Saturday night on Central. Launchpad keeps the stage low and the room tight, so a four-band bill this late means the headliner probably hits close to last call. Tickets are through Hold My Ticket, so grab them ahead rather than...

  • Adobe Disco Funky Soul Night

    Inside Out
    Downtownsoul/R&BTickets

    A late-night funk and soul dance event at Insideout that runs from roughly 9 p.m. until the sun is coming up, so plan your Saturday accordingly. Insideout is a compact room that gets loud and warm fast, which works in favor of this kind of floor-filling music and against anyone hoping to hold a conversation....

  • Matt Banwart Comedy Night

    Two Cranes Bistro & Brew
    ComedyTickets

    Matt Banwart brings his Midwest-honed standup to Two Cranes Bistro & Brew for a Friday night headlining set. Two Cranes runs a tight room for comedy, meaning the bistro layout keeps tables close to the performer and ambient bar noise reasonably controlled, which matters more than people expect. Tickets are through Hold My Ticket, so...

  • Late-Night Improv Comedy

    Outpost Performance Space
    UNM AreacomedyTickets

    Long-form improv at The Box, starting just after 10 p.m. local time and wrapping up before midnight. The Box keeps its room small and its crowd close, which means the...

  • Blues & Guitar Festival at KiMo Theatre Downtown

    Kimo Theatre
    Downtownlive musicDetails

    Thirteen years in, this festival has earned its place on the calendar, bringing blues and guitar-focused performance to one of the most architecturally loaded rooms on Central. The KiMo's Pueblo Deco interior does something to live music that a black-box venue simply cannot, and blues in particular seems to settle into those walls well. Admission...

  • Isotopes vs. Aviators at Route 66’s Isotopes Park

    Isotopes Park
    UNM AreacasualTickets

    The Isotopes host Las Vegas in a Pacific Coast League matchup at one of the better mid-level ballparks in the country, a place where the sight lines are genuinely good from almost every seat. The mountain view beyond the outfield wall is the kind of thing you forget to mention to out-of-towners and then watch...
