• Traffic Light Party at El Rey

    El Rey Theater
    DowntowndanceTickets

    The traffic light format is exactly what it sounds like: wear green if you're available, red if you're not, yellow if you're somewhere in between, and let the color do the talking for the rest of the night. El Rey's layout works well for this kind of social event, with enough room to circulate but...

  • Eco Docs Film Screening at NHCC Barelas

    NHCC National Hispanic Cultural Center
    BarelasfilmFreeDetails

    This 45-minute documentary centers on the 1979 collapse of a United Nuclear Corporation tailings dam at Church Rock, NM, which released 94 million gallons of radioactive wastewater into the Rio Puerco and through Diné communities that depended on that river for everything. Singer Paul Pino opens the event, and the source listing strongly suggests pairing...

    Nob HillsportsDetails

    Every NFL game of the day goes up on the screens inside The Lobo Sports Vault, the dedicated sports room carved out of the Historic Lobo Theater, with brunch service running 11 AM to 2 PM. Each game day you show up this season earns you a drawing entry for the VIP balcony at Super...

  • Fall Centennial Concert Series at Route 66 Visitor Center

    live musicDetails

    The New Mexico Music Hall of Fame puts on this fall concert installment at the Route 66 Visitor Center, a setting that gives the evening some genuine historical weight. Admission details aren't confirmed yet, so check the city arts calendar before you show up expecting a free night. Four hours of programming is a solid...

  • Rocky Horror Matinee at The Guild Cinema

    Guild Cinema

    The Guild is doing a Sunday evening Rocky Horror screening with PRIDE & Equality and New Mexico Entertainment behind it, which means this is probably the participatory, costumed, prop-bag kind of experience rather than a quiet film-society watch. The Guild's single-screen intimacy makes crowd energy land differently here than it would in a multiplex, for...

  • Tablao Flamenco Sunday Matinee

    Tablao Flamenco Albuquerque at Hotel Albuquerque
    latinTickets

    A proper tablao-format flamenco show in the heart of Old Town, running one hour on a Sunday afternoon during what is arguably the most chaotic weekend on the Albuquerque calendar. Hotel Albuquerque's performance space is an actual room built for this, not a cleared-out bar, so the sightlines and acoustics hold up even when it...

  • Supernatural Sundays with Jordan Jonas

    Painted Lady Bed & Brew
    Wells Parkarts & cultureTickets

    Jordan Jonas brings whatever he does best to Painted Lady's Brews & Boos series, a fall run of themed nights at one of the more genuinely odd venues on the corridor, a working bed and breakfast with a taproom attached. The room is small and the crowd tends to already know each other, so this...

  • Arm’s Length at Sunshine Theatre

    Sunshine Theatre
    DowntownpunkTickets

    Arm's Length plays the kind of emotionally precise post-hardcore that tends to hit hardest in a mid-capacity room, and Sunshine's floor is just the right size for it. Holding Absence opens, which is not a throwaway slot: the Welsh outfit has a devoted following of their own and will likely earn the room before the...

  • Arm’s Length & Holding Absence at Sunshine Theater

    Sunshine Theatre
    DowntownindieTickets

    Four-band bill anchored by Arm's Length and Holding Absence, two acts who have quietly built devoted followings on opposite sides of the Atlantic without ever quite breaking through to the rooms they deserve. Sunshine Theater runs general admission standing for shows like this, so the floor fills toward the front early and stays packed, which...

  • Late-Night Flamenco on Route 66 During Balloon Fiesta

    Tablao Flamenco Albuquerque at Hotel Albuquerque
    latinTickets

    A one-hour tablao set, bailaoras, cantaor, and guitarrista performing traditional flamenco in an intimate theater built for exactly this format, on the Sunday night of Balloon Fiesta weekend when the whole city is still running hot. The specific performers haven't been announced yet, but Tablao Flamenco Albuquerque pulls from a consistent rotating roster of serious...
