    Three bailaoras, a cantaor, and a guitarist perform a full tablao-format flamenco dinner show inside the historic Hotel Albuquerque, one of the few venues in the country presenting this art form in its proper sit-down context.

    Old TowndanceTickets

    Micky Cruz brings salsa y más to the Albuquerque Museum's courtyard for the 35th year of Music Under the Stars, the Friday night summer series that has been an Old Town anchor long enough to have its own institutional memory.

    Barelasarts & cultureTickets

    Rufus Wainwright plays the Journal Theatre solo, no band, no buffer, just him and whatever he decides to do with a room that seats around 700 and has acoustics that reward exactly this kind of performance.

    MAD DUBZ and VKTM are stacking a night of riddim and deathstep at Effex, the long-running Downtown club that knows how to run a sound system for this kind of weight.

    UNM Areaarts & theaterTickets

    Cockroach Theatre stages Shakespeare's most reliably weird comedy in The Box Annex, the smaller attached space next to The Box's main room. Cockroach has a track record of doing strange, committed work on a shoestring, so expect this to feel more fever dream than school production. The Annex is an intimate room, which means good...

The 10 p.m. local start time (listed in UTC) means this is genuinely a midnight crowd, so calibrate your evening accordingly. Tickets are through Hold...

  • Enchanted Grove Night Event at The Lab

    The Pit
    UNM AreadanceTickets

    KodaStar Entertainment takes over The Lab for a late-night event running 10 PM to 4 AM, which puts last call well past most of Central Avenue's usual crowd.
