• Jochis Nights: Queer Latine Party

    Albuquerque Social Club
    Nob Hillbar sceneTickets

    Jochis Nights is a monthly queer Latine party at the Social Club, built around Latin music and drag with an intentional emphasis on community rather than just a crowd. The Social Club runs small and gets warm fast, so arriving early is the difference between comfortable and sardine. Tickets are on Eventbrite, which suggests they're...

  • Goth Beach Party at El Rey

    El Rey Theater
    Downtownbar crowdTickets

    Four DJs, a goth beach concept, and a start time that is technically 9:30 PM local (the UTC listing puts this squarely in Saturday night prime time) make this the third year Apparition has taken over El Rey for what has quietly become one of the more committed theme nights on the corridor. El Rey's...

  • Fuego Summer: Jahbabii & Badmon at UNM Area

    Gaia's Kava Root
    UNM AreaLate NightDetails

    Jahbabii and Badmon take the decks at Gaia's Kava Root for a late-night set that runs hip-hop, R&B, reggaeton, and trap, with a third DJ listed only as a surprise. Gaia's is a kava bar by day, which means the room skews sober-friendly and the crowd tends to be more about the music than the...

  • International Thursday’s at Bourbon & Boots

    Anodyne
    Downtownworld musicDetails

    Bourbon & Boots runs this recurring late-night set on Thursday, pulling from global sounds in a bar that leans country by day. The room shifts considerably after midnight, so arriving early means a quieter crowd and more floor space than you'll have by 1 a.m. A ticket link exists through Posh, though whether that means...

    Barelasall agesDetails

    Three acts covering cumbia, classic goth, EBM, new wave, dark wave, and Rock en Español share the Albuquerque Journal Theatre stage for a single night with a hard cap of 300 attendees. The dance floor is actually the theatre stage itself, open to 250 people at a time on a first-come basis, which means the...

  • 505 Junglists Drum & Bass Night

    Inside Out
    Downtownlate-nightDetails

    The 505 Junglists crew brings another REWIND installment to Inside Out, with Halfblud and MS Vicious handling jungle and drum and bass across the night. Inside Out runs small and close, which works in everyone's favor for music built around sub-bass you feel before you hear it. The listed 9 PM start time is a...

  • Hot Girl Summer at Launchpad

    Launchpad
    Downtownbar sceneTickets

    Five local acts share the Launchpad stage for a night built around the kind of sweaty, unapologetic summer energy the name promises. Launchpad runs late and the crowd tends to arrive late too, so the early slots on a bill like this are where you catch something before everyone else figures it out. Tickets are...

  • 505 Junglist Drum & Bass Night

    El Rey Theater
    Downtownbar sceneTickets

    505 Junglist is back with a six-DJ drum and bass showcase, putting Syndicrypt, Halfblud, MS Vicious, DNDY, MYDNYTE, and Jayzo G on the same bill at Insideout. This is Albuquerque's most consistent jungle and DnB crew doing what they do on home turf, and the room at Insideout is small enough that the bass actually...

  • DANSYN at Effex Nightclub

    Effex
    DowntownclubTickets

    Mr. AfterHours Presents drops DANSYN into Effex for a WHF 360° night, which means the production gets the full room treatment rather than a stage-and-crowd setup. Effex runs late and the crowd arrives later, so if you show up before midnight you will be standing in a very different room than the one this is...
