• French Touch DJ Night

    Moonlight Lounge
    DowntownelectronicTickets

    Two of French house's most distinct camps get the head-to-head treatment here: the warm, disco-filtered funk of Daft Punk's catalog against Justice's harder, more distorted edge. The ticket link is live but start time is unconfirmed, so check Hold My Ticket before you plan your arrival. This one runs late by any measure, which suits...

  • Y2K Video Dance Party

    Inside Out
    DowntownDJ setTickets

    This one is built around the music videos, not just the songs, so expect the visuals to be half the show. Insideout is a small room, which means the dance floor gets warm fast and the energy tends to compound on itself once the crowd commits. Tickets are presale only, so show up without one...

    El Rey Theater
    DowntownDJ setTickets

    Three DJs, one of them a last-minute-feeling 'special guest' wildcard, spinning a goth night at El Rey on a Friday that runs until 10 p.m. local time.

  • Roller Derby Movie Night at Guild Cinema

    Guild Cinema

    Albuquerque Roller Derby is taking over Guild Cinema for a screening of The Kansas City Bomber, the 1972 Raquel Welch roller derby film that remains the genre's high-water mark. Guild is a small, single-screen house on Central with good sight lines from nearly every seat, so there's no bad spot in the room. Expect a...

  • NCAA Football Buffet at Historic Lobo Theater

    Historic Lobo Theater
    Nob HillsportsDetails

    The Lobo Sports Vault pulls the full Saturday NCAA slate across multiple screens, with every New Mexico Lobos game getting the big screen when the room is available for it. This is a sports bar setup inside a 1939 movie palace, which means the bones of the room are genuinely interesting even if your team...
