  • Y2K Hip-Hop & Reggaeton Night

    Inside Out
    Downtownhip-hopTickets

    Burque Baddies is throwing a Y2K-era dance night at Insideout, with DJs Genderotic and Mischievous trading off sets across hip-hop, R&B, and reggaeton. Insideout runs queer-centered events and has a...

  • Y2K Hip-Hop & R&B Night at Insideout Downtown

    El Rey Theater
    Downtowndance-partyTickets

    Tomboy takes over Insideout for a night built around the era when hip-hop, R&B, and reggaeton were all fighting for the same radio slot, and winning. Insideout runs late and...

  • Murphy’s Law After-Hours at Effex

    Effex
    DowntowndanceTickets

    Mr. AfterHours Presents brings the WHF 360° series to Effex for a Murphy's Law night, which in after-hours DJ culture means the format bends to wherever the energy goes rather...

  • Late-Night Improv Comedy

    Outpost Performance Space
    UNM AreacomedyTickets

    Long-form improv at The Box means no sketch templates, no safety net, just a troupe building something from nothing in real time over a sustained run. The Box keeps its...

  • Toxicas vs Toxicos After Party

    Gaia's Kava Root
    UNM Areahip-hopDetails

    Gaia's Kava Root is throwing a late-night hip-hop dance party built around the universal experience of romantic self-destruction, with doors opening at 2 AM and no pretense of wrapping up early. The kava bar format means you can keep the night going without a liquor license complicating things, which is part of why this spot...

  • Afters With The Cave at Luna Kava Root

    Gaia's Kava Root
    UNM AreaelectronicTickets

    This is a proper afterparty, kicking off at 8:30 a.m. and running until 11, so read that correctly: the night rolls straight into morning after CrankDat wraps. Luna Kava Root is a kava bar, not a liquor bar, which actually makes a late-night-turned-early-morning crowd more functional than you might expect. Tickets are through Hold My...

  • Waylon Bailey Live at Marble Brewery Downtown

    Marble Brewery Downtown
    Downtownlive musicDetails

    Waylon Bailey brings his guitar to Marble's Downtown taproom, one of the more reliably good live music setups on the Central corridor. The courtyard here stays loud with ambient crowd noise on a Saturday night, so this works better as a social listen than a sit-down-and-absorb situation. Check the ticket link for cover details before...

  • Lobo Theater 88th Anniversary: 5 Bands

    Historic Lobo Theater
    Nob Hilllive musicDetails

    Five bands, one ticket, and a building that has been standing on this stretch of Central since 1938: the Lobo turns 88 with a full-day run featuring Whole Lot of Zeppelin, Before Vegas, Destroy to Recreate, Love Grenade, and Visionofire starting at 3 PM. The age policy splits at 10 PM, so if you are...

  • Vohn Vocs Live at Sawmill Market

    Sawmill Market
    Sawmilllive musicDetails

    Vohn Vocs takes the stage at Sawmill Market for a late-night set in the heart of the Sawmill neighborhood. The food hall setting means you can grab a drink from multiple vendors before the music locks in, though the space can get loud in ways that reward standing close to the stage. A ticket link...

  • ABBAQUERQUE ABBA Tribute

    Marble Brewery Downtown
    Downtownlive musicDetails

    Albuquerque's own ABBA tribute act takes the Marble Downtown stage, which means you're getting "Dancing Queen" with a cold lager in hand and the Sandia Mountains going pink in the background if the timing works out. The outdoor patio here fills fast for anything with a singalong factor this high, so arriving early is less...
