    DowntownmetalTickets

    Cradle of Filth's Majestic In Death II tour hits the Sunshine Theatre the night before Halloween, which means the crowd showing up for this one will be in full costume and already committed. The Sunshine holds around 800 and has a wide open floor, so you'll want to get there early if you care about...

    Downtowndate nightDetails

    The 1986 film plays on screen while a live orchestra performs the full score underneath it, Bowie songs and all, on Halloween night at one of the most theatrical rooms in New Mexico.

    TourABQ's Halloween pedaler crawl puts a pack of costumed riders on a guided multi-stop bar route through the city on the night itself.

    Six local acts, six full-set tributes, one Halloween night: the lineup runs from Neutral Milk Hotel to Kataklysm, which tells you this is less a genre show than a chaos experiment that somehow works every year. Launchpad's long narrow room gets genuinely packed for this one, so arriving early matters more than it usually would....

    Nob Hillcover/tributeDetails

    The Deal, Albuquerque's Grateful Dead tribute act, wraps their three-show 2026 Lobo run on Halloween night with a set pulling from the full Dead catalog, long jams included. This is the third and final Lobo date of the year, which tends to mean the band arrives with something to prove, and a 550-person room full...
