• Charlie Boy at Rhythm Room Downtown

    Sister Bar
    Downtownhip-hopTickets

    Charlie Boy headlines a late-night Southeast Sayso set at the Rhythm Room, with Love Cannabis presenting the night. A ticket link is live, so this is a ticketed show even though the door price isn't posted yet. Start time is 10 PM local, and if the Rhythm Room is running its usual form, things won't...

  • Live Improv Comedy

    Outpost Performance Space
    UNM AreacomedyTickets

    The Blue Show is a live improv comedy night hosted by The Box Performance Space in partnership with Improv Theatre, running about an hour at 8 PM. The Box is a true black-box setup, which means sightlines are good from almost anywhere and the room stays small enough that crowd energy actually feeds the performers....

  • Emo Nite

    Launchpad
    DowntownDJ setTickets

    The traveling Emo Nite party comes to Launchpad for a DJ-driven night built around the anthems that defined a very specific kind of teenage suffering: Fall Out Boy, My Chemical Romance, Paramore, the whole catalog. Launchpad's narrow room and loud sound system make this kind of communal screaming-along work better than it has any right...

  • Love + Happiness at Marble Brewery

    Marble Brewery Downtown
    Downtownsoul/R&BDetails

    Marble's downtown taproom is hosting Love + Happiness, a soul and R&B-leaning night that the title alone tells you something about the intended mood. The brewery floor opens up nicely for this kind of event, but the bar stays busy, so arriving early gets you a better position before the room fills. A ticket link...

  • Afters With The Cave at Lunas Kava Root

    Gaia's Kava Root
    UNM AreaelectronicDetails

    Kuzomii, Bass Prophet, and Zorro are headlining this late-night electronic session at Lunas Kava Root, billed as an 'afters' meaning this is designed to run well past midnight. The start time on the listing is a placeholder, so check the ticket link before you commit to a plan or you may show up to an...

  • DJ Brad Cole at Insideout

    Inside Out
    DowntownDJ setTickets

    Brad Cole has been a fixture in the Albuquerque DJ scene long enough to know how to read a room, and Strange Mix is built around exactly that flexibility, no fixed genre, just whatever the floor needs. Insideout runs late, and this one goes until nearly 7 a.m., so pace yourself accordingly. A ticket link...

  • Long-Form Improv Comedy

    Outpost Performance Space
    UNM AreacomedyTickets

    The One Night Stanleys bring long-form improv to The Box, one of the few dedicated performance spaces left on the corridor that actually treats comedy as a discipline rather than a bar afterthought. Long-form means full narrative arcs instead of quick-hit games, so the laughs land differently when a scene has had twenty minutes to...

  • Foam After Party at Gaia’s Kava Root

    Gaia's Kava Root
    UNM Areahip-hopDetails

    This is the 1AM-to-4AM hip-hop landing pad for whoever survived the foam event earlier that night, held at Gaia's Kava Root on Central in the UNM corridor. Gaia's is a kava bar, so the drinks hit differently than your standard after-party spot, which is worth knowing before you assume there's a full bar waiting. The...

  • Afters with the Cave at Luna Kava

    Gaia's Kava Root
    UNM AreaelectronicTickets

    This is a post-dawn wind-down hosted by NM Rave Cave at one of the corridor's more interesting rooms, a kava bar that handles late-night energy better than most venues with a liquor license. Luna Kava's setup lends itself to exactly this kind of low-lit, still-moving crowd, so expect the vibe to lean more communal than...
