    Route 66 Visitor Center
    live musicDetails

    The New Mexico Music Hall of Fame is putting on a four-hour concert at the Route 66 Visitor Center, which means the lineup will skew toward artists with genuine roots in the state rather than passing acts. The Visitor Center's outdoor plaza holds a crowd comfortably but fills up once word gets around, so arriving...

  • NM United vs. Sacramento FC

    Isotopes Park
    UNM AreasportsTickets

    New Mexico United brings Sacramento Republic FC to Isotopes Park for a USL Championship regular-season match on a Saturday evening in late September. The sightlines at this park are genuinely good for soccer, and the United supporter section in the south end generates enough noise to make it feel like a proper home advantage. Parking...

  • JMSN Live on Route 66 at Sister

    Sister Bar
    Downtownsoul/R&BDetails

    JMSN is a Detroit-rooted R&B singer and producer who writes, records, and releases everything himself, which gives his live sets a rawness that polished label acts rarely manage. Sister is a small room, and that works in everyone's favor here, since his falsetto-heavy sound fills tight spaces better than it would a barn. A ticket...

  • Haunted High Tea

    Painted Lady Bed & Brew
    Wells Parkarts & cultureTickets

    Wickedly Cunning and Lunatyk Arts are staging a Halloween-season high tea at Painted Lady Bed & Brew, which means expect theatrical weirdness layered over the scones-and-small-plates format rather than a straight costume party. Painted Lady is a genuinely eccentric space on Central, and events from this production pairing tend to commit to the bit in...

    DowntownDJ setTickets

    Ken 52 Pick-Up is a late-night DJ set at El Rey, running from 8 PM deep into the early morning on a Saturday night into Sunday. El Rey's main room has a proper dance floor and a sound system that rewards staying past midnight, which is exactly when this kind of set finds its footing....

  • The Sixties Show at Popejoy Hall

    Popejoy Hall
    UNM Areacover/tributeTickets

    A live concert production built around the songs of the 1960s, staged at Popejoy Hall on the UNM campus. Popejoy is a proper listening room with real acoustics and actual seats, which makes it a different animal than the bar stages where this kind of tribute usually lands. Tickets are through Ticketmaster, so buy direct...

    DowntownlatinDetails

    Calle 66 plays live salsa at Marble Brewery's Downtown location, one of the more spacious rooms on the corridor with enough floor space to actually move. The bar setup means...

  • Tablao Flamenco Saturday Show

    world musicTickets

    A seated flamenco show in the tablao format, meaning performers work close to the audience in a room built for this kind of intensity rather than a concert stage. Hotel...

  • Tablao Flamenco Food Add-Ons

    Tablao Flamenco Albuquerque at Hotel Albuquerque
    latinTickets

    This is the food pre-order option for the Tablao Flamenco show on September 25, not a standalone event. You purchase your dining add-on here separately from your show ticket, so make sure you have both before you show up. The three-course meal is the move if you want the full sit-down experience; the Spanish board...

    singer-songwriterTickets

    Irene Diaz, the Los Angeles-based singer-songwriter whose voice sits somewhere between late-night folk and slow-burn soul, comes to South Broadway Cultural Center under the Lensic 360 banner. That presenter connection matters: Lensic 360 programs with care, and the artists they bring to smaller rooms tend to reward the intimacy. Tickets are through Hold My Ticket,...
