    University Stadium
    sportsDetails

    The Lobos open their home schedule against Central Michigan in what should be a useful early read on how the roster came together over the offseason. University Stadium sits right on the Central Avenue corridor, so parking and pre-game options along Route 66 are genuinely part of the evening. Check golobos.com for kickoff time, which...

  • Tablao Flamenco Saturday Dinner Show

    Tablao Flamenco Albuquerque at Hotel Albuquerque
    date nightTickets

    A seated dinner show format built around live flamenco, with bailaores, a cantaora, and guitarrista performing in the close quarters that the form actually requires to land. Hotel Albuquerque's tablao room is small enough that you feel the footwork in your chest, which is either the whole point or a reason to sit farther back...

  • Tablao Flamenco Saturday Show

    Tablao Flamenco Albuquerque at Hotel Albuquerque
    latinTickets

    A full tablao-format flamenco show, meaning dancers, a cantaor, and a live guitarist performing together in the traditional structure, not a fusion or approximation of the form. Hotel Albuquerque's space on Old Town's edge puts this squarely on the corridor, and the room is intimate enough that you will feel the footwork in your chest....

    Outpost Performance Space
    UNM AreacomedyTickets

    Improv Theatre takes the stage at The Box for an evening of live, unscripted comedy.

    Effex
    Downtownlate-nightDetails

    BEAUZ, the LA-based brother duo known for pushing hard techno into hypertechno territory, plays Effex, Albuquerque's longest-running LGBTQ nightclub and one of the few rooms on Central with a sound system actually built for this kind of punishment.

  • Wayne Hancock at Launchpad

    Launchpad
    Downtownlive musicTickets

    Wayne Hancock is the kind of Texas honky-tonk lifer who makes you wonder why anyone ever bothered complicating country music in the first place, and Launchpad's compact room puts you close enough to feel it. The event title references Juno Brewery, so confirm the venue before you go, because that detail in the listing suggests...

  • Death on the Beach Vol. 4 at Launchpad

    Launchpad
    DowntownmetalTickets

    Five bands, one night, a metalcore bill with a beach party concept that is either absurd or perfect depending on your tolerance for humidity and breakdowns. Launchpad's stage-to-floor ratio keeps things close, so Vol. 4 will hit the way these shows are supposed to hit. Tickets are through Hold My Ticket, which means will-call is...

  • A51* Improv Comedy at The Box, UNM Area /

    Outpost Performance Space
    UNM AreacomedyTickets

    In The Box Annex takes improv comedy into extraterrestrial territory with A51*, a short-form show built around the alien-conspiracy premise. The Box is a genuinely intimate black-box room where the audience is close enough to make eye contact with performers, which either thrills you or makes you want a back row that doesn't exist. At...

  • Isotopes vs. Tacoma Rainiers

    Isotopes Park
    UNM AreacasualTickets

    The Isotopes close out a late-summer homestand against Tacoma, the Mariners' Triple-A affiliate, in what tends to be one of the more competitive matchups on the Pacific Coast League schedule. September games at this park carry a particular feel: the crowds thin a little from midsummer peaks, the evenings cool off faster than you'd expect,...

  • Tablao Flamenco Sunday Matinee

    Tablao Flamenco Albuquerque at Hotel Albuquerque
    date nightTickets

    This is a tablao-format flamenco show, meaning the performers work close to the audience in an intimate setting rather than across a proscenium stage, and that proximity is the whole point. Hotel Albuquerque's event space has genuine Southwestern character and keeps sightlines decent from most seats, so arriving early to pick your spot pays off....
