Doug Martsch and Built To Spill bring their sprawling, guitar-heavy catalog to El Rey, one of the better rooms on the corridor for a band that rewards a good sound system. El Rey runs long on show nights, so the 9 PM local start time is real, and Paul Schalda opens. Grab tickets in advance;...
Bryan Lambe's puppet-fronted variety show takes over The Box Annex, the smaller secondary room inside The Box Performance Space on Central. The Annex is an intimate black-box setup, so there is no bad seat and no hiding from the performer, which suits a variety show just fine. Tickets are through Hold My Ticket, so grab...
The One Night Stanleys perform long-form improv under the On the Mainstage banner at The Box, one of the few actual black-box theater spaces on the corridor. Long-form improv lives or dies on the ensemble's chemistry, and The Box's intimate configuration means you'll feel both the hits and the misses, which is honestly part of...
The Isotopes take on the Salt Lake Bees in a Pacific Coast League matchup at one of the better minor-league ballparks in the Southwest, sitting right on the Central Avenue corridor.

Chilean tenor saxophonist Melissa Aldana brings her quartet to Outpost Performance Space for the 20th Annual New Mexico Jazz Festival, and this is a legitimate get for the festival. Outpost is a proper listening room, which means the crowd actually listens, so if you want to talk through a show, this is the wrong night...
Four bands, one night at the Sunshine, with Mustard Service bringing the Paradise Tour through Downtown on what is technically a Wednesday night given the 8:30 PM local start. The...
Two DJs, one late-night set at Insideout, running from what is effectively 9 p.m. Wednesday local time through 6 a.m. Thursday morning once you convert from UTC. Insideout is a small room on Central, which means the sound hits differently than it would in a warehouse, so expect it to feel immediate and a little...
Millionaire$ headlines this four-act bill at Launchpad, rolling through on their My Super Sweet 16 Tour with Davvn, Notions, and Slowburn in support. Launchpad's stage puts you close to the action in a way that bigger rooms can't replicate, and the local openers here are worth arriving early for. Tickets are through Hold My Ticket,...
