• Beauty and the Beast Touring Musical

    Popejoy Hall
    UNM AreatheaterTickets

    A full Broadway touring production of Beauty and the Beast comes to Popejoy Hall, one of the better mid-sized theater rooms in the Southwest for this kind of show. Popejoy's acoustics are genuinely good and the sightlines hold up even from the upper sections, so there's less of a bad seat problem than you'd expect...

  • Twiztid with Buffalo Farm

    El Rey Theater
    Downtownhip-hopTickets

    Twiztid, the Detroit horror-rap duo who have been working the Psychopathic Records circuit since the late 90s, headline El Rey with Albuquerque's Buffalo Farm opening. El Rey is a long room with a solid sound system and a stage that rewards acts who actually perform rather than just stand there, and Twiztid leans hard into...

  • Nekrogoblikon & Aborted at Sunshine Theatre

    Sunshine Theatre
    DowntownmetalTickets

    Nekrogoblikon's whole thing is costumed goblin characters, legitimately technical melodic death metal, and a crowd that laughs and headbangs in equal measure. Aborted is no warm-up act, they've been one of the more consistent names in brutal death metal for over two decades, so showing up late means missing something real. Sunshine's general admission floor...

  • Tablao Flamenco Saturday Show

    Tablao Flamenco Albuquerque at Hotel Albuquerque
    world musicTickets

    A seated tablao-format flamenco show at Hotel Albuquerque, with live guitar, cante, and baile performed in close quarters where you can hear the footwork on the wood. The Old Town-edge location puts this squarely on the corridor, and the room is small enough that there is no bad seat, which matters more for flamenco than...

  • Night of the Living Cover Bands Night 6

    Launchpad
    Downtowncover/tributeTickets

    Night six of Launchpad's annual Halloween cover band marathon, running late into a Saturday night on the corridor. By this point in the series the crowds know the drill and the energy in that room tends to be loose and committed in equal measure. Tickets are through Hold My Ticket, so sort that before you...

    Effex
    Downtownlate-nightDetails

    DØMINA takes the decks for the latest installment of Effex's ongoing Techno Affair 360 series, a hard techno and techno night that the club has been running long enough to have built a real following. Effex is a gay bar first, which means the dance floor tends to attract people who actually came to dance,...

    El Rey Theater
    Downtownhip-hopTickets

    Twiztid, the Detroit horrorcore duo with a loyal Juggalo-adjacent fanbase, rolls into El Rey on the Certified Psychos Tour with three local and regional openers padding out a full night.
