    The Bronze Medal Match goes up on the Lobo's theater big screen and across all 15 screens in the Sports Lounge, including the four-screen video wall, the same weekend the Route 66 Summerfest block party takes over Central.

  • Jochis Nights: Queer Latine Party

    Nob Hillbar sceneTickets

    Jochis Nights is a monthly queer Latine party at the Social Club, built around Latin music and drag with an intentional emphasis on community rather than just a crowd. The Social Club runs small and gets warm fast, so arriving early is the difference between comfortable and sardine. Tickets are on Eventbrite, which suggests they're...

    The 2026 World Cup Final goes up on the Lobo's theater big screen, the balcony simulcast, and all 15 screens in the Sports Lounge, including a four-screen video wall, which is a lot of real estate for the biggest match on the planet.

    Martin y Moso brings their act to Town & Ranch, one of the more reliably intimate stops on the Central corridor for live music. The ticket link is live through 505 Live Music, which suggests this is a proper ticketed show rather than a walk-in situation, so buying ahead is the smarter move. Details on...

    Jason Bowers takes the stage at Tractor Brewing's Nob Hill location, one of the more reliable spots on the Central corridor for catching a live set with a decent pint in hand. The ticket link is live through 505 Live Music, but admission details haven't been confirmed yet, so check before you show up assuming...

  • International Thursday’s at Bourbon & Boots

    Downtownworld musicDetails

    Bourbon & Boots runs this recurring late-night set on Thursday, pulling from global sounds in a bar that leans country by day. The room shifts considerably after midnight, so arriving early means a quieter crowd and more floor space than you'll have by 1 a.m. A ticket link exists through Posh, though whether that means...

    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...

  • 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...

    505 Junglist is back with a six-DJ drum and bass showcase, putting Syndicrypt, Halfblud, MS Vicious, DNDY, MYDNYTE, and Jayzo G on the same bill at Insideout. This is Albuquerque's most consistent jungle and DnB crew doing what they do on home turf, and the room at Insideout is small enough that the bass actually...

  • Alex Maryol Live at Marble Brewery Downtown

    Downtownbar sceneDetails

    Alex Maryol is one of those New Mexico guitar players who has been at this long enough that the blues he plays feels lived-in rather than performed. Marble's downtown patio carries sound well on summer nights, but the indoor bar fills up fast once the set starts, so arriving early gets you a better spot...
