• Beer & Jazz on the Hill

    Bosque Brewing Nob Hill
    Nob HilljazzDetails

    Two distinct Albuquerque jazz acts on one bill: EQNX Jazztet opens at 5pm and Basilaris Trio closes things out at 8pm, which makes this an early evening rather than a late-night affair despite how it reads on the calendar. Tractor's Nob Hill patio is one of the better outdoor listening spots on this stretch of...

  • J-Guys Blues Band Live on Route 66 at Thirsty Eye

    Thirsty Eye Brewing Company
    bluesDetails

    The J-Guys Blues Band brings a working-band approach to blues at Thirsty Eye, a brewery that has quietly become one of the more reliable spots for live music on the corridor. The room is small enough that a tight blues outfit actually fills it without a PA doing all the heavy lifting. Admission details weren't...

  • 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...

  • Most Epic Afters at Gaia’s Kava Root

    Gaia's Kava Root
    UNM Arealate-nightDetails

    This is a midnight-to-morning two-room party at a kava bar on Central, with hip hop up front and EDM in the Bass Tunnel, running until 10am Sunday. Gaia's is genuinely low-key about the kava side of things, which keeps the crowd self-selecting toward people who want to be present for the music rather than just...

    The Hall
    live musicDetails

    Keeping Up with the Joneses takes the stage at The Hall for a late set that runs to 3 a.m. on a Sunday morning. The Hall sits right on the corridor and tends to reward people who stay past midnight, when the room loosens up and the sound gets dialed in. Grab tickets through 505...

  • 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...

  • Basilaris Live at Thirsty Eye

    live musicDetails

    Basilaris takes the stage at Thirsty Eye Brewing Company for a Saturday night set on the corridor. Thirsty Eye is a working taproom first, which keeps the crowd honest and the volume at a level where you can actually talk between songs. Tickets are through 505 Live Music, so grab them ahead if you want...

  • 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.
