    Downtownlive musicTickets

    Three Deuce Luce brings their set to Insideout's outdoor garden space for a late-summer party on Central.

    DowntownindieTickets

    San Diego's The Frights are marking a decade of their debut album with a full tour stop at the Sunshine, one of the few rooms on Central that can actually hold a crowd this size without losing the energy. The self-deprecating tour name is a bit. The band is not: ten years in, they play...

  • Hotline TNT at Launchpad

    DowntownindieTickets

    Hotline TNT brings their brand of loud, distortion-heavy guitar pop to Launchpad, one of the few rooms on Central that genuinely suits this kind of show. The stage-to-floor ratio here keeps things close, so if you like the record, you will feel it differently at that volume and that distance. Tickets are through Hold My...

  • Isotopes vs. Salt Lake Bees at Route 66’s UNM Area Park

    Isotopes Park
    UNM AreaFamily-FriendlyTickets

    The Isotopes close out a mid-September home stand against the Salt Lake Bees, a Triple-A affiliate rivalry with enough history to make the crowd care even on a Tuesday night. Isotopes Park sits right on Central, and the upper deck along the third-base line gives you a view of the Sandias that honestly competes with...

    Kimo Theatre
    Downtownarts & cultureDetails

    The KiMo hosts what appears to be a live taping and festival run tied to Season 6 of Bands of Enchantment's Albuquerque Sessions, a locally produced music series that has been documenting New Mexico artists for years. The ticket link goes through cabq.gov and references a red carpet premiere, so this is likely more of...
