Best Indie & Rock from October 6 - December 6

in Albuquerque

ZZ Top at Rio Rancho Events Center

ZZ Top

Influenced by the likes of Johnny Lee Hooker and Muddy Waters, Rock & Roll hall of famers ZZ Top infuse their classic blues riffs with the spirited, often humorous pursuit of worldly pleasures. Look no further for catchy tunes about fast cars, sharp clothes and good times... and of course the iconic (and pretty incredible) facial hair.

Imagine Dragons at Isleta Amphitheater

Imagine Dragons

Las Vegas-based 'Radioactive' indie pop-rockers Imagine Dragons are hitting the road on a brand new tour to celebrate their sixth studio album, 'Loom'! Much like their desert-born stadium rock contemporaries, The Killers, Imagine Dragons seamlessly blend engaging synth-based dance-pop with emotionally charged Brit-pop-inspired alt-rock. Don't miss your chance to see these Grammy winners live!

Dashboard Confessional at Revel Entertainment Center

Foreigner at Rio Rancho Events Center

Foreigner

The Eighties' hitmakers Foreigner return for another rocking tour! Led by English guitarist and songwriter Mick Jones, the British-American band knows a thing or two about creating epic rock'n'roll anthems and power ballads; with a whopping ten multi-platinum albums to date, they continue to sell out shows and tours.

Bowling For Soup at The El Rey Theater

Bowling For Soup

If you need a dose of unpretentious, instantly catchy pop-punk, then there are few better bands to see than Bowling for Soup. The quintet formed in the 1990s, and spent much of the decade cultivating a small but loyal following as their contemporaries (Green Day et al) took over the world. Get ready to have fun with Bowling For Soup this year!

Black Crowes at Route 66 Casino

Black Crowes

After reuniting in 2022 after a 14-year hiatus, rock'n'roll brothers Chris and Rich Robinson have announced The Black Crowes will be heading on the 'Happiness Bastards 2024' headlining tour. The tour will be in support of their first studio album in 15 years, 'Happiness Bastards' on March 15th. Known for their southern rock and blues flair, this classic rock act will ensure an evening of headbanging and sing-a-longs.

King Gizzard and The Lizard Wizard at Revel Entertainment Center

King Gizzard and The Lizard Wizard

With a name like King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard, it's safe to say that the Australian psychedelic rock outfit marches to the beat of their own cosmic drums. Known for their incredible work ethic, the band have a whopping 25 albums to their name - recent two released in 2023! Though they won't be able to play you their entire catalog, as you'd be there for over a week - you can experience fan favorites, band favorites and those hidden gems in-between.

Rise Against at Revel Entertainment Center

Rise Against

Rise Against still hold firm to the principal that punk should be about something, railing against political inequality and oppressive social forces with blistering riffs and fist-pumping, no-holds-barred sheer force of will. See them supporting their ninth album Nowhere Generation and their incredible discography, personally, we think rocking out is the perfect escape.

Dayglow at The El Rey Theater

Dayglow

Multi-Platinum Certified artist Sloan Struble, better known as Dayglow, is hitting the American road on his "Dayglow: The Tour"! Supporting his highly anticipated self-debut album, yet to be released this fall, Dayglow will be taking his indie-pop music across North America, including Boston, New York, Toronto, and many more!

Juanes at Revel Entertainment Center

Juanes

Hailed as the global ambassador of Latin Rock, Colombian crooner Juanes' distinctive fusions of rock and pop, as well as his multi-layered songwriting, have earned him accolades of TIME's Top 100 most influential people in the world as well as eight certified multi-platinum albums and 100 number one Billboard singles.

MercyMe at Rio Rancho Events Center

MercyMe

Christian contemporary indie rock outfit MercyMe burst out of Greenville, Texas in the early 90s with a brand new worship sound. Catch the Dove Award winners as they head out on tour. Over the years the band has explored a range of genres from pop to rock, with a whole lotta gospel and hymnal music thrown in for good measure. By experimenting with current trends but staying true to their roots, they're able to garner new young fans without alienating the old guard.
