CW Ayon brings his New Mexico roots sound to the Wells Park patio, one of the more honest listening spots on this stretch of Central. The outdoor setup here rewards showing up a little early, since the good seats go fast once the sun starts dropping. Admission details are not confirmed yet, so check the...
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 room is intimate enough that you will feel the footwork in your chest, which is either the whole point or a dealbreaker depending on your...
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....
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...
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...
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....
Three-act hard techno and hardstyle bill headlined by NOVA CIRCUIT, with ¥ŌKAI and SOSILKY rounding out a lineup that leans harder than your average Albuquerque electronic night. The 9:00 PM start time on this listing is a placeholder, so confirm the actual door time through the ticket link before you plan your evening. Hardstyle rooms...
Noen Nite plays Gaia's Kava Root, the kava bar tucked into the Central corridor near UNM that runs quieter and stranger than most rooms its size. The sourcing here is thin, so confirm the set time before you go, since a 3 a.m. UTC start converts to something late even by this neighborhood's standards. Tickets...
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...
Three acts share the bill at Insideout on Central: Mango Cakes headlines, with Insideout and Angelina opening the night. The show starts at 9 p.m. local time, which puts the headliner well past midnight, so pace yourself accordingly. Tickets are through Hold My Ticket, so grab them ahead if you want to skip the door.
