• The Sixties Show at Popejoy Hall

    Popejoy Hall
    UNM Areacover/tributeTickets

    A live concert production built around the songs of the 1960s, staged at Popejoy Hall on the UNM campus. Popejoy is a proper listening room with real acoustics and actual seats, which makes it a different animal than the bar stages where this kind of tribute usually lands. Tickets are through Ticketmaster, so buy direct...

  • Salsa Night with Calle 66

    Marble Brewery Downtown
    DowntownlatinDetails

    Calle 66 plays live salsa at Marble Brewery's Downtown location, one of the more spacious rooms on the corridor with enough floor space to actually move. The bar setup means you can grab a pint and watch from the edges if you need a few songs before committing to the floor. A ticket link exists,...

  • Tablao Flamenco Saturday Show

    Tablao Flamenco Albuquerque at Hotel Albuquerque
    world musicTickets

    A seated flamenco show in the tablao format, meaning performers work close to the audience in a room built for this kind of intensity rather than a concert stage. Hotel Albuquerque's venue on Central gives it a weightier setting than most flamenco pop-ups in town, and the tablao structure tends to produce the kind of...

  • Tablao Flamenco Food Add-Ons

    Tablao Flamenco Albuquerque at Hotel Albuquerque
    latinTickets

    This is the food pre-order option for the Tablao Flamenco show on September 25, not a standalone event. You purchase your dining add-on here separately from your show ticket, so make sure you have both before you show up. The three-course meal is the move if you want the full sit-down experience; the Spanish board...

  • Irene Diaz Live on Route 66 at South Broadway Cultural Center

    South Broadway Cultural Center
    singer-songwriterTickets

    Irene Diaz, the Los Angeles-based singer-songwriter whose voice sits somewhere between late-night folk and slow-burn soul, comes to South Broadway Cultural Center under the Lensic 360 banner. That presenter connection matters: Lensic 360 programs with care, and the artists they bring to smaller rooms tend to reward the intimacy. Tickets are through Hold My Ticket,...

  • Live Improv Comedy at The Box

    Outpost Performance Space
    UNM AreacomedyTickets

    A live improv comedy show at The Box, one of the more committed small performance spaces on the Central corridor, running about an hour at 8PM. The Box seats intimately and the room puts you close enough to the performers that the awkward pauses land differently than they do in a big house. Tickets are...

  • 52 Pickup 2-Room Dance Night at El Rey Theater Downtown

    El Rey Theater
    DowntownelectronicDetails

    Six DJs across two rooms at El Rey, with breakbeat, house, and tech house running concurrently so you can actually curate your own night without committing to one floor. El Rey's layout makes two-room events work better than most venues this size, because the sound bleed between spaces is minimal and the bar stays accessible...

  • Dead Payphones + Ditch Dog at Launchpad

    Launchpad
    Downtownlive musicTickets

    Three local acts take the Launchpad stage on a Saturday night that bleeds well into Sunday, with Dead Payphones headlining above Ditch Dog and Anti Gravity Love Machine. Launchpad's sound system punches harder than the room's capacity suggests, and the late start means the crowd thins before it builds, so arriving closer to doors pays...

  • Rocky Horror Picture Show

    Flix Brewhouse

    A late-night screening of Rocky Horror with a live shadow cast performing in front of the screen, presented by PRIDE & Equality and New Mexico Entertainment. Flix Brewhouse lets you order food and drinks from your seat, which makes the participation factor easier to manage than a traditional theater setup. Tickets are through Hold My...

  • JMSN Live on Route 66 at Sister the Bar Downtown

    Sister Bar
    Downtownsoul/R&BTickets

    JMSN, the Detroit-bred R&B singer and self-producing one-man operation, brings his late-night, heavily atmospheric sound to Sister the Bar. The room runs small and close, which suits his music better than a theater would. Lensic 360 presenting means the production attention is a step above a typical bar booking.
