• Taimane Live at the Barelas BioPark Zoo

    ABQ BioPark Zoo
    BarelasacousticDetails

    Taimane is a Hawaiian ukulele player who has genuinely expanded what people think the instrument can do, pulling from flamenco, classical, and rock in ways that hold up under scrutiny. The BioPark Zoo is an unusual setting for a ticketed concert, which means the logistics are different from a standard venue night, so check the...

  • Felix Y Los Gatos Live at Old Town Gazebo

    Old Town Gazebo
    Old TownlatinDetails

    Felix Y Los Gatos brings their Latin roots sound to the Old Town Gazebo, one of the few outdoor stages in Albuquerque where the setting genuinely competes with the music for your attention. The plaza draws a mixed crowd, locals and tourists side by side, which gives evening shows here an energy that's hard to...

  • Catalogue Live at Marble Brewery Downtown

    Marble Brewery Downtown
    Downtowncraft beerDetails

    Catalogue brings their set to Marble Brewery's Downtown taproom, one of the more reliably good live-music rooms on this stretch of Central. The outdoor patio here runs sound better than you'd expect for a brewery show, and the crowd tends to stick around rather than treating the band as background noise. Admission details weren't listed,...

  • The Silver Vigilantes Live at Thirsty Eye

    live musicDetails

    The Silver Vigilantes take the tap room stage at Thirsty Eye late on a Friday night, which tells you something about the energy level you should expect. Thirsty Eye keeps the room small and the beer local, so this is the kind of show where you end up three feet from the band whether you...

  • Tablao Flamenco Dinner Show

    Tablao Flamenco Albuquerque at Hotel Albuquerque
    arts & cultureTickets

    Three bailaores, a cantaor, and guitarist Chuscales perform traditional flamenco in a seated dinner-show format at Hotel Albuquerque on a Friday evening. Chuscales has backed some of the most serious flamenco artists working today, so this skews closer to a genuine performance than dinner theater, even if the setup looks the same from the outside....

  • J. Holiday Headlines Rhythm Room Opening Downtown

    Sister Bar
    Downtownblock partyTickets

    The Rhythm Room opens on Central with a grand opening block party headlined by J. Holiday, the R&B singer whose quiet-storm catalog from the mid-2000s still fills rooms that know their music. Grand openings on this stretch of Central have a habit of running long on ceremony and short on performance, but Reloaded Talent booking...

  • Flor de Toloache at Albuquerque Museum

    Albuquerque Museum
    Old Towndate nightTickets

    Flor de Toloache is a New York-based all-women mariachi group that has spent the better part of a decade expanding what the genre can hold, pulling in jazz, cumbia, and bolero without losing the thread back to traditional son. The Albuquerque Museum's courtyard is one of the better outdoor venues on the corridor, small enough...

  • 505 Junglists Drum & Bass Night

    Inside Out
    Downtownlate-nightDetails

    The 505 Junglists crew brings another REWIND installment to Inside Out, with Halfblud and MS Vicious handling jungle and drum and bass across the night. Inside Out runs small and close, which works in everyone's favor for music built around sub-bass you feel before you hear it. The listed 9 PM start time is a...

  • Afters With The Cave: MydNyte, S.A.I.N.T., Sofly

    Luna Kava Bar
    electronicDetails

    Three electronic acts, MydNyte, S.A.I.N.T., and Sofly, take over Luna Kava Bar for a late-night session billed as an afters under The Cave series. The 3:00 AM UTC timestamp and a source note flagging the 9:00 PM start as a placeholder both suggest the actual door time is unconfirmed, so check the ticket link before...

  • 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...
