Five Albuquerque acts share a bill built around Green Day's catalog, with Alter Apex, Right On Kid, Dazeyrot, November Radio, and Shyguy each taking a turn. Launchpad's room rewards this kind of show, small enough that the energy compounds rather than dissipates, and the stage sight lines are good from basically anywhere. With five bands...
Five women share the stage for a blues night that is part of the Albuquerque Museum's 35th annual Music Under the Stars series, with Joanie Cere pulling the program together. The outdoor museum courtyard on a summer Saturday evening is one of the better concert settings on the corridor, though seating fills fast and the...
Improv Theatre brings a live, unscripted comedy show to The Box, a small black-box room on Central that rewards audiences willing to be in the room rather than watching from a distance. The Box runs intimate, so there is no bad seat, but there is also nowhere to hide if a performer pulls you in....
A late-night house party format event at The Lab At Stardust, running from 9 p.m. to nearly 1 a.m. local time on a Saturday into Sunday.

A battle-format night pitting Toxicas against Toxicos, presented by Reklez Ent and A.M Ent at one of Downtown's more reliably loud rooms. The 10 PM local start and 4 AM wrap time tell you everything about the energy this event is built around. Grab tickets in advance since 515 Space fills fast when promoters with...
The cast takes audience suggestions and builds a Shakespeare-style play on the spot, iambic pentameter and all, in real time. The Box is a small, close room where the performers can see your face when a scene goes sideways, which adds something you don't get in a bigger theater. Shows here tend to run tight,...
A one-hour tablao-format flamenco show inside Hotel Albuquerque, the kind of intimate setup where the performers are close enough that you feel the footwork in your chest. The specific artists are still TBD, but Tablao Flamenco Albuquerque consistently draws from a serious regional and national flamenco community, so the casting matters less than you might...
