  • LEROY EP Release Show at Launchpad

    Launchpad
    Downtownlive musicTickets

    LEROY's 'Back to School' EP release brings four local acts to Launchpad for a late Saturday night on Central. Launchpad keeps the stage low and the room tight, so a...

  • Adobe Disco Funky Soul Night

    Inside Out
    Downtownsoul/R&BTickets

    A late-night funk and soul dance event at Insideout that runs from roughly 9 p.m. until the sun is coming up, so plan your Saturday accordingly. Insideout is a compact room that gets loud and warm fast, which works in favor of this kind of floor-filling music and against anyone hoping to hold a conversation....

  • Matt Banwart Comedy Night

    Two Cranes Bistro & Brew
    ComedyTickets

    Matt Banwart brings his Midwest-honed standup to Two Cranes Bistro & Brew for a Friday night headlining set. Two Cranes runs a tight room for comedy, meaning the bistro layout keeps tables close to the performer and ambient bar noise reasonably controlled, which matters more than people expect. Tickets are through Hold My Ticket, so...

  • Abstract Rude Live at Products of the Golden Age

    Juno
    Downtownhip-hopTickets

    Abstract Rude, the Los Angeles underground hip-hop veteran with roots stretching back to Rhymesayers-adjacent circles, plays a live set at Products of the Golden Age while a music video gets...

  • Late-Night Improv Comedy

    Outpost Performance Space
    UNM AreacomedyTickets

    Long-form improv at The Box, starting just after 10 p.m. local time and wrapping up before midnight. The Box keeps its room small and its crowd close, which means the performers are feeding off you whether you want them to or not, so sit accordingly. Tickets are through Hold My Ticket, so grab them ahead...

  • Late-Night Hip-Hop Afters

    Gaia's Kava Root
    UNM Areahip-hopFreeDetails

    A late-night hip-hop set built around 90s and 2000s classics, running from midnight to 4 AM at one of the stranger and more charming spots on Central, a kava bar that happens to have the bass for it. Gaia's draws a crowd that's genuinely there for the music rather than the drink minimum, which changes...

  • Benny Bassett Live at Sawmill Market

    Sawmill Market
    Sawmilllive musicDetails

    Benny Bassett takes the Sawmill Market stage on a Saturday night, which puts live music inside one of the busier food-hall environments on this stretch of Central. The open layout...

  • Blues & Guitar Festival at KiMo Theatre Downtown

    Kimo Theatre
    Downtownlive musicDetails

    Thirteen years in, this festival has earned its place on the calendar, bringing blues and guitar-focused performance to one of the most architecturally loaded rooms on Central. The KiMo's Pueblo...

  • Cali Shaw Live at Marble Brewery Downtown

    Marble Brewery Downtown
    Downtownsinger-songwriterDetails

    Cali Shaw brings her singer-songwriter work to Marble's downtown taproom on a Saturday night, which means the room will already have some momentum by the time she takes the stage at 9. Marble Downtown runs warmer and louder than the taproom on Marble Ave, so this is less of a listening-room situation and more of...

  • Nathan Fox Live at Marble Brewery

    Marble Brewery Downtown
    Downtownlive musicDetails

    Nathan Fox brings his set to the Marble Westside taproom, one of the more comfortable standing-room spots on the corridor for a Sunday night show. The brewery format keeps things...
