    Thirsty Eye Brewing Company
    americanaDetails

    Clark Libbey and The High Desert Playboys bring their New Mexico-rooted country and americana sound to Thirsty Eye, one of the more relaxed rooms on the corridor for live music. The brewery format keeps things casual, which suits this band: it's the kind of set that rewards showing up early with a pint rather than...

    Tablao Flamenco Albuquerque at Hotel Albuquerque
    arts & cultureTickets

    A seated flamenco dinner show in the Old Town-adjacent room at Hotel Albuquerque, with live guitar, cante, and dance performed in close quarters. Tablao format means the performers work within arm's reach of the front tables, which is either thrilling or a lot depending on where you sit. Book tickets in advance and ask for...

  • Tablao Flamenco Friday Show

    Tablao Flamenco Albuquerque at Hotel Albuquerque
    latinTickets

    Three bailaoras, a cantaor, and a guitarrista perform a full tablao-format flamenco show inside Hotel Albuquerque, right on Central. This is not dinner theater dressed up as flamenco; the company is rooted in serious training and the room is built for the form, which means the sound and sight lines are actually calibrated for it....

  • Son Como Son at Albuquerque Museum

    Albuquerque Museum
    Old TowndanceTickets

    Son Como Son brings their salsa and Latin ensemble sound to the Albuquerque Museum's long-running outdoor concert series, now in its 35th year. The museum courtyard fills up faster than most people expect, so arriving early gets you a decent patch of grass before the dancing crowds claim the open space near the stage. Check...

  • Live Improv Comedy at The Box

    UNM AreacomedyTickets

    A live improv comedy show at The Box, the UNM Area's most reliably weird little black-box room on Central. The space is small enough that the performers will absolutely make...

  • Afters With The Cave: Rodman, Panda & More

    Luna Kava Bar
    electronicDetails

    Four DJs playing an afters set at Luna Kava Bar, which means this is designed to start when most nights end. The posted 9:00 PM time is a placeholder and not reliable, so confirm through the ticket link before you plan around it. Kava bars tend to run sober-friendly crowds, which changes the room energy...

  • Toxicas vs Toxicos Hip Pop Party

    Gaia's Kava Root
    UNM Areahip-hopDetails

    Two party crews collide at Gaia's Kava Root for a Toxicas vs Toxicos Perro Party and Hip Pop Party double bill, with a roster of local hosts and organizers that suggests this is a real scene night, not a thrown-together weekend grab. Gaia's is a kava bar, so the drink situation is non-alcoholic by nature,...

  • unpolished* Live at Moonlight Lounge

    Moonlight Lounge
    Downtownlive musicTickets

    unpolished* takes the Moonlight Lounge stage for a late-night set that runs until 6 a.m., which should tell you something about the energy they're going for. The lowercase-with-asterisk branding is a choice, and the Hold My Ticket link confirms this is a real ticketed event, not a loose bar night with a cover jar. If...

  • Your Rong! Comedy Debate Show

    Outpost Performance Space
    UNM AreacomedyTickets

    A comedy debate show presented by In the Box Annex, running just an hour at a genuinely odd hour of the night, which tells you something about the crowd it's...

    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 dance floor that actually gets used, so this one is built for people who came to move. Tickets are through Hold My Ticket, so grab...
