  • Afters With The Cave at Luna Kava Root

    Gaia's Kava Root
    UNM AreaelectronicTickets

    This is a proper afterparty, kicking off at 8:30 a.m. and running until 11, so read that correctly: the night rolls straight into morning after CrankDat wraps. Luna Kava Root...

  • ABBAQUERQUE ABBA Tribute

    Marble Brewery Downtown
    Downtownlive musicDetails

    Albuquerque's own ABBA tribute act takes the Marble Downtown stage, which means you're getting "Dancing Queen" with a cold lager in hand and the Sandia Mountains going pink in the background if the timing works out. The outdoor patio here fills fast for anything with a singalong factor this high, so arriving early is less...

  • NM United vs. FC Tulsa

    Isotopes Park
    UNM Areafamily friendlyTickets

    New Mexico United brings USL Championship soccer to the stadium that sits right on the Central Avenue corridor, this time against FC Tulsa in what the standings will likely make meaningful by August. The supporter culture here is genuinely loud, and the south end of the stadium is where that energy lives, so where you...

  • Tablao Flamenco Saturday Dinner Show

    Tablao Flamenco Albuquerque at Hotel Albuquerque
    arts & cultureTickets

    A seated dinner show pairing live flamenco, guitar, and cante jondo in the Old Town anchor hotel that has hosted this residency long enough to get the format right. The...

  • Tablao Flamenco Saturday Show

    Tablao Flamenco Albuquerque at Hotel Albuquerque
    latinTickets

    Three dancers, a guitarist, and a cantaor perform a full tablao-format flamenco show in one of the more architecturally appropriate rooms on the corridor. Hotel Albuquerque's space puts you close enough to hear the footwork, which is the whole point, so seats toward the middle of the floor tend to hit differently than the edges....

  • Green Day Tribute Night at Launchpad Downtown

    Launchpad
    Downtownall agesTickets

    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...

  • Ladies Sing the Blues at Albuquerque Museum

    Albuquerque Museum
    Old Townall agesTickets

    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...

  • Live Improv Comedy at The Box

    Outpost Performance Space
    UNM AreacomedyTickets

    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....

  • Kermit’s House Party at The Lab At Stardust

    The Lab At Stardust
    danceTickets

    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. The Lab tends to run intimate and sweaty, so if you need elbow room after midnight, adjust expectations accordingly. Tickets are through Hold My Ticket, so grab them ahead...
