Events on Central

Cockroach Theatre, one of Albuquerque's scrappier and more reliable small companies, takes on Shakespeare's fairy-court comedy in The Box Annex, the smaller of the two performance spaces at this Central...

ABQ BioPark's Africa Family Night opens up the zoo grounds on a summer evening with Africa-focused animal programming and activities geared toward kids. Evening hours mean cooler temperatures and animals that are often noticeably more active than during a midday visit. Tickets through Hold My Ticket suggest capacity is managed, so booking ahead is the...

Triple-A baseball on a Tuesday night, the Isotopes hosting the Round Rock Express, which is the Rangers affiliate and consistently one of the better road clubs in the Pacific Coast...

Slow Joy's tour lands at Launchpad on a Tuesday night with local support from The High Curbs and Glom, which is the kind of weeknight bill that quietly outperforms the weekend. Launchpad runs small and loud, so if Slow Joy's recorded haze translates live the way it should, the back of the room is still...

Triple-A ball under the Albuquerque sky, with the Isotopes taking on the Round Rock Express in a Pacific Coast League matchup at one of the better mid-size ballparks in the country. Isotopes Park sits right on the corridor and the mountain views beyond the outfield wall are legitimately good, especially on a July evening when...

Launchpad's low ceiling and close stage make Arrow de Wilde's frontperson energy hit differently than it does in larger rooms. Grab tickets in advance through Hold My Ticket since this one has the profile...

Allison hits the Sunshine Theater on the Euforia USA Tour, with Forever Came Calling and Loser's Club opening on a bill that leans hard into pop-punk and melodic hardcore. The Sunshine's standing-room floor packs tighter than most people expect for a mid-week show, so arriving close to doors is worth it if you want a...

Triple-A ball on a Thursday night, with the Isotopes hosting Round Rock under the Sandia backdrop that makes this one of the better places in the minors to watch a...

Martin y Moso brings their act to Town & Ranch, one of the more reliably intimate stops on the Central corridor for live music. The ticket link is live through 505 Live Music, which suggests this is a proper ticketed show rather than a walk-in situation, so buying ahead is the smarter move. Details on...

Jason Bowers takes the stage at Tractor Brewing's Nob Hill location, one of the more reliable spots on the Central corridor for catching a live set with a decent pint in hand. The ticket link is live through 505 Live Music, but admission details haven't been confirmed yet, so check before you show up assuming...
