Tonight on the corridor
A Liminal 77 Production brings Platonic Ideal to The Box Annex, the smaller, more intimate room tucked behind the main performance space on Central. The Annex runs close quarters, so if the show sells even halfway through, you will feel every person in that room. Tickets are through Hold My Ticket, which means print or...
Three acts covering cumbia, classic goth, EBM, new wave, dark wave, and Rock en Español share the Albuquerque Journal Theatre stage for a single night with a hard cap of 300 attendees. The dance floor is actually the theatre stage itself, open to 250 people at a time on a first-come basis, which means the...
Taimane, the Hawaiian ukulele player who makes that instrument do things most people don't think it can do, performs at the BioPark Zoo as part of their summer Zoo Music series, with live reptiles as part of the evening's programming. The outdoor zoo setting means heat lingers well past sundown in late July, so plan...
Triple-A Pacific Coast League ball at one of the better mid-size stadiums in the country, with the Sandias going pink behind the outfield as the evening cools down. Isotopes Park sits right on Central, so you can walk in from a pre-game meal along the corridor without fighting for parking in a concrete structure. Friday...
Felix Y Los Gatos brings their Latin roots sound to the Old Town Gazebo, one of the few outdoor stages in Albuquerque where the setting genuinely competes with the music...

The outdoor patio here runs sound better than you'd expect for a brewery show, and the crowd tends to stick around rather than treating the band as background noise. Admission details weren't listed,...
The Silver Vigilantes take the tap room stage at Thirsty Eye late on a Friday night, which tells you something about the energy level you should expect. Thirsty Eye keeps the room small and the beer local, so this is the kind of show where you end up three feet from the band whether you...
Three bailaores, a cantaor, and guitarist Chuscales perform traditional flamenco in a seated dinner-show format at Hotel Albuquerque on a Friday evening. Chuscales has backed some of the most serious flamenco artists working today, so this skews closer to a genuine performance than dinner theater, even if the setup looks the same from the outside....
The Rhythm Room opens on Central with a grand opening block party headlined by J. Holiday, the R&B singer whose quiet-storm catalog from the mid-2000s still fills rooms that know their music. Grand openings on this stretch of Central have a habit of running long on ceremony and short on performance, but Reloaded Talent booking...
