    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...

  • Route 66 Summerfest

    Central Avenue, Nob Hill
    Nob Hilllive musicFreeDetails

    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...

  • Jazz Festival Stage at Outpost

    Outpost Performance Space
    UNM Areaall agesTickets

    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...

  • Salsa Night with Calle 66

    Marble Brewery Downtown
    Downtownlive musicDetails

    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...

  • LoPhat Live at Old Town Gazebo

    Old Town Gazebo
    Old TownoutdoorDetails

    LoPhat takes the Old Town Gazebo on a Sunday evening, which puts live music in one of the oldest public squares in the country. The gazebo setting means sound carries in every direction and the crowd tends to form organically around the perimeter, so there is no bad spot. Admission details are unconfirmed, but Old...

  • Goth Beach Party at El Rey

    El Rey Theater
    Downtown18+Tickets

    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...

  • Dawn Hotel Live at Thirsty Eye Brewing

    Thirsty Eye Brewing Company
    live musicDetails

    Dawn Hotel takes the Thirsty Eye stage on a Saturday evening, giving you two hours of live music inside one of the more reliably good-sounding taprooms on the Central corridor. Thirsty Eye keeps its room volume at a level where you can still hold a conversation without lip-reading, which either appeals to you or tells...

  • Red Canyon Road Live at Tractor Brewing

    Tractor Brewing Wells Park
    Downtownlive musicDetails

    Red Canyon Road brings their set to Tractor's Wells Park patio, one of the more reliably comfortable outdoor stages on this stretch of Central on a July evening. The crowd here tends to be neighborhood regulars plus whoever wandered over from the taproom, which keeps the energy grounded rather than performative. Admission isn't confirmed yet,...

  • Saturday Flamenco Dinner Show in Old Town

    Tablao Flamenco Albuquerque at Hotel Albuquerque
    arts & cultureTickets

    Noelle Encinias, Andrea Lozano, and Olivia Marin share the floor for an intimate tablao dinner show at Hotel Albuquerque, with Vicente Griego on cante and Estevan Pacheco on guitar. Tablao format means no row seating between you and the dancers, which changes the experience considerably at high-footwork moments. Tickets through Hold My Ticket move ahead...
