Four local acts share a bill at Insideout, a small Downtown room that rewards showing up early because the capacity is real and the later sets tend to draw. The 9 PM local start puts this deep into a Thursday night, so know that going in. Tickets are through Hold My Ticket, which means you...
Three local acts share a bill at Moonlight Lounge, and the lineup has enough range to keep the room honest across a three-hour set. The Moonlight runs late and the crowd tends to arrive late too, so the openers are worth catching early if any of these names are the reason you're going. Tickets are...
This is an open mic structured around real ghost stories told live, part of Painted Lady's recurring Brews & Boos series, so expect regulars who've workshopped their material and first-timers who haven't. The bed-and-brew format means the room includes overnight guests mixed in with walk-ins, which gives the whole thing an oddly intimate, slightly unplanned...
Nocturne is throwing a fundraiser show at Launchpad, one of the few remaining rooms on the corridor that still runs sound like it means it. The late start puts this solidly in the after-midnight category, so pace yourself accordingly. Check Hold My Ticket for pricing before you show up at the door.
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...
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...
Calle 66 brings live salsa to Marble's downtown taproom on a Saturday night, which means the patio fills up fast and the indoor bar stays loud. Marble's floor plan isn't purpose-built for dancing, but people make it work near the stage, and the sound carries well enough outside that the patio crowd gets the show...
Black swimwear and sunscreen jokes aside, this is a proper late-night goth event at El Rey, one of the corridor's most reliable rooms for dark and alternative programming. El Rey's interior already has a certain theatricality to it, so the beach-meets-goth concept lands better here than it would in a generic club. Doors are late...
