Events on Central

Every NFL game of the day goes up on the screens inside The Lobo Sports Vault, the dedicated sports room carved out of the Historic Lobo Theater, with brunch service...

The New Mexico Music Hall of Fame puts on this fall concert installment at the Route 66 Visitor Center, a setting that gives the evening some genuine historical weight. Admission details aren't confirmed yet, so check the city arts calendar before you show up expecting a free night. Four hours of programming is a solid...

The Guild is doing a Sunday evening Rocky Horror screening with PRIDE & Equality and New Mexico Entertainment behind it, which means this is probably the participatory, costumed, prop-bag kind of experience rather than a quiet film-society watch. The Guild's single-screen intimacy makes crowd energy land differently here than it would in a multiplex, for...

A proper tablao-format flamenco show in the heart of Old Town, running one hour on a Sunday afternoon during what is arguably the most chaotic weekend on the Albuquerque calendar....

Jordan Jonas brings whatever he does best to Painted Lady's Brews & Boos series, a fall run of themed nights at one of the more genuinely odd venues on the corridor, a working bed and breakfast with a taproom attached. The room is small and the crowd tends to already know each other, so this...

Sunshine Theater runs general admission standing for shows like this, so the floor fills toward the front early and stays packed, which...

A one-hour tablao set, bailaoras, cantaor, and guitarrista performing traditional flamenco in an intimate theater built for exactly this format, on the Sunday night of Balloon Fiesta weekend when the whole city is still running hot. The specific performers haven't been announced yet, but Tablao Flamenco Albuquerque pulls from a consistent rotating roster of serious...

Four bands cycling through El Rey's stage on what is effectively a late Sunday night, with doors putting you well past midnight by the time the lineup runs its course....

Two California hardcore acts with serious lineage share the Launchpad stage: Bl'ast carry a direct SST Records thread back to the mid-80s, and Luicidal bring a Suicidal Tendencies family-tree pedigree that the crowd will absolutely know. Launchpad's room is narrow and loud, which works in everyone's favor for this kind of show. The UTC start...
