    arts & cultureTickets

    Noelle Encinias, Andrea Lozano, and Olivia Marin share the floor for an intimate tablao dinner show at Hotel Albuquerque, with Vicente Griego on cante and Estevan Pacheco on guitar. Tablao format means no row seating between you and the dancers, which changes the experience considerably at high-footwork moments. Tickets through Hold My Ticket move ahead...

  • Live Improv Comedy

    UNM AreacomedyTickets

    A one-hour improv comedy set presented by The Box and Improv Theatre, running a tight 8 PM call on a Saturday night on Central. The Box is a small, close-quarters room where the audience is close enough to the performers that your reactions become part of the show, for better or worse. Tickets are through...

  • 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...

  • Crime Lab Farewell Show at Launchpad

    Launchpad
    DowntownindieTickets

    Crime Lab is calling this a 'bye for now' show, which means the room will carry that specific weight that only farewell sets bring out in people. Launchpad's narrow floor tends to compress a crowd in a way that works in your favor on a night like this, when everyone already knows the words. Grab...

    UNM Areaarts & theaterTickets

    Cockroach Theatre is staging Shakespeare's woodland comedy in The Box Annex, the smaller back space attached to The Box Performance Space on Central. That room is intimate enough that you'll feel the blocking decisions in ways a bigger house wouldn't let you, which is either thrilling or claustrophobic depending on how you feel about immersive...

  • 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...

    Sunshine Theatre
    Downtownhip hopTickets

    Sac One Presents brings Bandit Lordz and El Uno to Moonlight Lounge for another Mic Club 46 installment, one of the more consistent hip-hop booking series working the corridor right now. Moonlight runs late and the crowd tends to arrive that way too, so showing up at the listed start time means you have the...

  • Fuego Summer: Jahbabii & Badmon at UNM Area

    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...

    Downtownlate-nightTickets

    Taylor Torrence, the Denver-based DJ whose melodic techno and progressive house sets have earned him a serious international following, takes over Effex for Mr. AfterHours Presents' SNTA 360° night. The 360° format means the booth is centered in the room, which changes the crowd geometry in ways a standard stage setup never does. Tickets are...
