Events on Central

Jordan Jonas, best known for surviving 77 days alone in the Arctic on Season 6 of the show Alone, brings whatever he knows about things that go bump in the...

Arizona metalcore headliners The Word Alive are running their Deceiver and Dark Matter Tour through Launchpad with three support acts filling out a bill that should run long. Launchpad's low ceiling and close-quarters floor make the heavy stuff hit harder than the room has any right to, which is either the appeal or the reason...

Mary Gauthier is one of the more unsparing songwriters working in American roots music, the kind who writes about addiction, incarceration, and grief with enough craft that the songs feel...

Cockroach Theatre, one of Albuquerque's scrappier and more reliable small companies, takes on Shakespeare's fairy-court comedy in The Box Annex, the smaller of the two performance spaces at this Central corridor staple.

Grab tickets in advance through Hold My Ticket since this one has the profile...

Allison hits the Sunshine Theater on the Euforia USA Tour, with Forever Came Calling and Loser's Club opening on a bill that leans hard into pop-punk and melodic hardcore. The...
