    Downtownhip hopDetails

    Compa Inc. Arts returns with the second installment of The Jump Off, a live showcase built around CS Rucker at Insideout on Central. Compa has been quietly doing the curatorial work that bigger organizations take credit for, so this kind of event tends to draw people who actually pay attention to local hip-hop. Admission isn't...

  • New Mexico Tattoo Fiesta

    Albuquerque Convention Center
    Downtownall agesTickets

    Three days of live tattooing, artist booths, ink competitions, and music spread across the Convention Center on Central. A show this size draws regional and national artists you wouldn't normally find in one building, so it's a genuinely useful place to shop for your next artist before committing. Parking on the surrounding blocks fills faster...

    americanaDetails

    Hello Darlin, a country and Americana act whose name tips its hand immediately, takes the Thirsty Eye taproom stage on a Friday evening at 5 p.m. The room is small enough that there is no bad spot for sound, but that same quality means it reaches capacity faster than most people expect. Check the 505...

  • Dance Hackathon: Reify at UNM Arts Lab

    UNM Areaarts forwardTickets

    Reify is a live collision between movement and technology, with dancers and sound artists working alongside coders and designers in real time rather than performing finished work. The Arts Lab format tends to blur the line between audience and participant, so expect something messier and more interesting than a conventional showcase. Check the Eventbrite listing...

  • Holy Roller Live at ABQ BioPark Zoo

    all agesDetails

    Holy Roller brings their abrasive, hook-heavy rock to the BioPark Zoo's outdoor concert setup on a Friday evening in July. The zoo context sounds gimmicky until you're actually there, because the open-air setting and ambient noise from the grounds make for a looser, more forgiving room than a bar stage. Admission details weren't confirmed at...

  • Reviva Live at Old Town Gazebo

    all agesDetails

    Reviva takes the Old Town Gazebo stage for an evening show in one of Albuquerque's most recognizable outdoor settings, steps from the plaza and the tourist foot traffic that comes with it. The gazebo's open-air layout means sound bleeds into the surrounding park, so the further back you stand the more it feels like ambient...

    Two Albuquerque acts share the Marble Downtown stage on a Friday night, with Carita opening for The Mango Cakes. Marble's patio pulls in foot traffic from the street, so the room tends to fill faster than the 9 p.m. crowd expects. Admission details weren't confirmed at press time, so check the ticket link before you...

  • Micky Bang & Jawny Badluck Live

    El Rey Theater
    Downtownhip hopDetails

    Four local acts share the Insideout stage for a night that reads like a who's-who of the current Burque underground rap scene. Insideout runs small and loud, so expect the kind of room where the bass hits you before you find a spot to stand. Admission isn't listed yet, so check the 505 Live link...
