  • Sword & Red Fang Live at Sunshine Theatre

    Sunshine Theatre
    Downtowngeneral admissionTickets

    Two of the more respected names in contemporary heavy rock share a bill at the Sunshine, with Sword's desert-sun riff worship sitting comfortably next to Red Fang's beer-soaked, video-friendly stomp....

  • The Sword & Red Fang at Sunshine Theater Downtown

    Sunshine Theatre
    Downtownall agesTickets

    The Sword and Red Fang is a genuinely well-matched double bill, both bands trading in the kind of slow-grinding, riff-forward heavy rock that rewards a loud room, and Sunshine's PA delivers. The floor gets packed tight for shows like this, so arriving close to doors puts you in a better spot than waiting on the...

  • No Cure & Big Ass Truck at Launchpad Downtown

    Launchpad
    Downtownall agesTickets

    Five bands across a single night at Launchpad, anchored by No Cure and Big Ass Truck on a touring bill that leans hard and loud. Launchpad's room is compact enough that there's no bad spot, but the floor fills fast once the headliner's window approaches, so arriving mid-bill is smarter than arriving late. Tickets are...

  • Five-Band Rock Night at Launchpad

    Launchpad
    Downtownall agesTickets

    Five bands on one ticket at Launchpad, running from early evening into the small hours of a Thursday night on Central. Big Ass Truck has been a Memphis institution since...

  • International Thursdays at Bourbon & Boots

    Bourbon & Boots
    Downtownworld musicDetails

    Bourbon & Boots runs its weekly international music night here, which on the calendar lands as a Thursday but in practice is a very early Friday morning, running from roughly 8 p.m. local time into the pre-dawn hours. This is a late dance floor crowd, not a casual-drink-and-leave situation, so go in knowing the room...

  • Jazz Standards at Outpost Performance Space

    Outpost Performance Space
    UNM AreajazzDetails

    Toni Morgan and Michael Matison bring a paired vocal concept to jazz standards, trading and blending across the classic American songbook. Outpost is one of the few rooms in Albuquerque...

  • Horror Comedy Night at Painted Lady

    Painted Lady Bed & Brew
    Wells Parkbar & breweryTickets

    The Brews & Boos series at Painted Lady Bed & Brew brings a horror-comedy standup hour to their Central Avenue taproom, leaning into the campy premise rather than treating it as a gimmick. The room is small and the setting is a working inn, so the audience tends to be a mix of overnight guests...

  • Garden Party at Insideout

    Inside Out
    Downtownarts & cultureTickets

    A late-night garden party at Insideout, one of the more reliably interesting rooms on Central, running from 8 PM well past midnight. The outdoor setup at this spot tends to breathe better than the interior on a warm August night, so dress for that. Tickets are through Hold My Ticket, which means the door price...
