Events on Central

Adam Hooks takes the stage at Tractor Brewing's Westside location, the taproom that has quietly become one of the more reliable spots for local and regional singer-songwriters on the Central...

Tori Amos brings her piano-centered performance to Popejoy Hall, one of the few rooms in Albuquerque with acoustics that actually reward that kind of intimacy. Popejoy is a proper concert hall, assigned seating, no bar rail to lean on, which suits her catalog better than a club would anyway. Tickets through Ticketmaster, and this one...

The Schmoobies are a teen improv troupe performing under the In The Box Annex program, which is The Box's youth development arm rather than its main stage. Shows like this tend to run short and loose, which is either charming or chaotic depending on the night, and usually both. If you have a kid in...

Poltergeist (1982) gets the bingo treatment at Painted Lady's Brews & Boos series, which means you are watching a genuinely unsettling film while also trying to mark off your card, and somehow that tension works.

A full tablao-format flamenco show with live guitar, cante, and baile performed in the heart of Old Town's anchor hotel on Central. Hotel Albuquerque's venue has the sightlines and acoustics...

Three bailaoras, a cantaor, and a guitarrista perform a full tablao-format flamenco show at Hotel Albuquerque, one of the few venues in the city that stages this art form with a proper ensemble rather than a single act. The room at Hotel Albuquerque is intimate enough that you will feel the footwork in your chest,...

Three Albuquerque-rooted entertainment outfits, AM ENT, JJ Official, and Reklez Ent, are co-presenting this throwback concert at the Lobo, the old movie house on Central that has found a second life as one of the more atmospheric event spaces on the corridor. The Lobo's wide floor and elevated stage give it a genuine concert feel...

Dee Brown brings a full Ray Charles tribute to the Albuquerque Museum's outdoor amphitheater, backed by Bump City, as part of the 35th year of Music Under the Stars. The museum lawn holds a crowd well and the sight lines are forgiving, but a blanket or low chair makes the difference between a good night...
