    th0tdaughter brings her brand of darkwave-adjacent electronic production to Insideout, a late-night corridor stop that has quietly become one of the better rooms in Downtown for this kind of music. The 10 p.m. local start time (listed in UTC) means this is genuinely a midnight crowd, so calibrate your evening accordingly. Tickets are through Hold...

    Mariachi Tenampa plays a two-hour outdoor set at the Old Town Gazebo, one of the more naturally suited stages on the corridor for this kind of music.

    Sawmilllive musicDetails

    Ronaldo Baca brings his acoustic New Mexico roots sound to the communal, food-hall floor of Sawmill Market for a two-hour Saturday night set. The room was built for eating and socializing, not listening, so expect a warm ambient crowd noise underneath everything rather than concert-style attention. Admission details weren't posted at press time, so check...

    Dymer takes the stage at Marble's downtown taproom on a Saturday night, which means the patio crowd will be loud and the bar will be moving fast before the first note lands. The indoor-outdoor layout here tends to split the room early in the set, so getting close to the stage before 9 means you're...

    Isotopes Park
    UNM AreacasualTickets

    The Isotopes host Sacramento for a Saturday night Triple-A game at one of the best mid-sized ballparks in the country, a place where the Sandia Mountains do genuine work as a backdrop once the sun drops.
