th0tdaughter brings her brand of darkwave-adjacent electronic production to Insideout, a late-night corridor stop that has quietly become one of the better rooms in Downtown for this kind of music. 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...
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. The Lab's room is better suited to this kind of production than its daytime identity suggests, with enough square footage to actually move and a sound setup...
This is a 45-minute long-form improv set running close to midnight local time, presented jointly by The Box and Improv Theatre Albuquerque. The Box is a small black-box room where the audience sits close enough to the performers that you become part of the energy whether you intend to or not. Long-form improv lives or...
Mariachi Tenampa plays a two-hour outdoor set at the Old Town Gazebo, one of the more naturally suited stages on the corridor for this kind of music. The acoustics in that open plaza can work against you on a windy July evening, so arriving early to claim a spot near the center of the gazebo...
Ronaldo Baca brings his acoustic New Mexico roots sound to the communal, food-hall floor of Sawmill Market for a two-hour Saturday night set. The room was built for eating and socializing, not listening, so expect a warm ambient crowd noise underneath everything rather than concert-style attention. Admission details weren't posted at press time, so check...
Dymer takes the stage at Marble's downtown taproom on a Saturday night, which means the patio crowd will be loud and the bar will be moving fast before the first note lands. The indoor-outdoor layout here tends to split the room early in the set, so getting close to the stage before 9 means you're...
The Bronze Medal Match goes up on the Lobo's theater big screen and across all 15 screens in the Sports Lounge, including the four-screen video wall, the same weekend the...
The city closes Central from Girard to Washington and hands the street back to the people who actually use it. Four stages of live music across one mile of Nob Hill, each one working a different decade of the Mother Road. The Docksiders close the main stage at 8:30 with yacht rock played straight, and...
Two acts, two very different energies: the Albuquerque Jazz Orchestra brings big-band weight, and Milton Villarubia's Los CieneGatos Brass Band tends to push things in a warmer, New Orleans-inflected direction. Outpost is a listening room, not a bar, so the crowd actually pays attention and the sound is mixed accordingly. Tickets are through Hold My...
The Isotopes host Sacramento for a Saturday night Triple-A game at one of the best mid-sized ballparks in the country, a place where the Sandia Mountains do genuine work as...
