    UNM AreajazzTickets

    Outpost's recurring jazz incubator puts working musicians in a room with Rodney Bowe and Dimi DiSanti, two of the more serious jazz educators operating in this city right now. The format is part workshop, part live session, so the music you hear is being shaped in real time, which makes for a different kind of...

    César Bauvallet teaches a recurring Monday night Latin music class at Outpost, the longtime listening room on Central that has been hosting serious musicians and serious students for decades.

  • Hermanos Gutiérrez at Popejoy Hall

    UNM Areaworld musicTickets

    The Swiss-Ecuadorian brothers Estevan and Alejandro Gutiérrez play a kind of wordless, sun-bleached guitar music that sits somewhere between spaghetti western scores and Andean folk, and Popejoy's acoustics will do it genuine favors. Y La Bamba, Luz Elena Mendoza's emotionally direct project, is a real opening act and not an afterthought. Popejoy is a seated...

  • Halloween Party at Gaia’s Kava Root

    UNM AreadanceDetails

    Gaia's Kava Root is throwing an 18-plus Halloween party with a haunted maze built into the space, which is a genuinely different move for a kava bar on Central. The room is small enough that a maze is either a stroke of genius or a crowded nightmare, so arriving close to doors at 9:30 gives...

    Gaia's Kava Root, the kava bar on Central, is partnering with ACE to run a haunted house experience on the Friday night before Halloween weekend 2026. The show runs from late evening into the early morning hours, so this is firmly a late-night crowd situation. Tickets are through Hold My Ticket, which means the door...

  • NM United Soccer at Isotopes Park

    UNM AreasportsTickets

    New Mexico United returns to Isotopes Park for a USL Championship home match against Monterey Bay FC, a California club that has been competitive enough to make this a meaningful late-season fixture. The stadium sits right on Central, so you can walk from a pre-game dinner on the corridor without thinking about parking, which is...

  • Tri-City Chili Peppers Live at Isotopes Park UNM Area

    Isotopes Park
    UNM Areacover/tributeTickets

    A Red Hot Chili Peppers tribute act takes the field at Isotopes Park, which means an outdoor stadium setting for what is usually a club-sized show format. The baseball-venue configuration puts a lot of distance between the back rows and the stage, so getting your tickets early and paying attention to section placement will matter...
