Albuquerque Roller Derby is taking over Guild Cinema for a screening of The Kansas City Bomber, the 1972 Raquel Welch roller derby film that remains the genre's high-water mark. Guild is a small, single-screen house on Central with good sight lines from nearly every seat, so there's no bad spot in the room. Expect a...
Free Event at Casa San Ysidro
The Lobo Sports Vault pulls the full Saturday NCAA slate across multiple screens, with every New Mexico Lobos game getting the big screen when the room is available for it. This is a sports bar setup inside a 1939 movie palace, which means the bones of the room are genuinely interesting even if your team...
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...

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...
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...
