Albuquerque this week: Underoath, Amanda Miguel and more

Underoath bring a 20-year-old album to Revel, Saturday splits four ways across town, and Conjunto Primavera close the week at the Kiva.

Saturday is the night to clear. Four rooms in Albuquerque have something worth leaving the house for on Nov. 7, from a 3,000-capacity metalcore reunion of sorts on Alexander Boulevard to a 400-capacity country bar where the headliner doesn't go on until 9. If you can only pick one, the guide below should help; if you can stretch to Thursday and Sunday too, this is a week that rewards it.

The anchor is Underoath at Revel on Saturday, Nov. 7, with August Burns Red, Atreyu and As Cities Burn filling out the bill and music starting at 6:30 p.m. This is the band's Define the Great Line 20th Anniversary Tour, announced in June to mark two decades since the 2006 record, and the band plays the album in full each night. The run opened Nov. 5 in St. Louis and finishes Dec. 18 in the band's hometown of Tampa, which puts Albuquerque very early on the route, while the set is still fresh. Get there for the 6:30 start: with four bands on the bill, the early slots are part of the point. Tickets via eTix.

Revel itself is worth a word. The complex took over a former Sports Authority store near Topgolf and was built in two phases: bars and restaurants up front, then a 3,000-person concert room behind them. Its owners have since announced plans for a boutique outdoor amphitheater of a little more than 800 capacity, aiming for April 2027. For now, the big indoor hall is where the city's heavier touring shows land, and Saturday is a good example of why.

The rest of the week, night by night:

Thu, Nov. 5 — Tropa Magica at Sister The Bar, 7 p.m. A midweek Latin-leaning indie night in the Central Avenue room. Tickets

Fri, Nov. 6 — Armored Saint at Sunshine Theater, 7:30 p.m. Metal at the Sunshine, a good warm-up for Saturday's Revel show. Tickets

Fri, Nov. 6 — Todd Rundgren at KiMo Theatre, 7:30 p.m. A seated night in the historic Downtown theater, about 650 capacity. Tickets

Sat, Nov. 7 — The Velveteers, Rival Sons and The Blue Stones at Sunshine Theater, 7 p.m. The three bands are crossing the country together this fall on what Rival Sons have named the Domestic Bliss Tour, and the Colorado trio The Velveteers don't have far to come. Tickets

Sat, Nov. 7 — Amanda Miguel at Route 66 Casino – Legends Theater, 7 p.m. The biggest Latin pop booking of the week, in a 2,800-capacity room west of town. Tickets via Ticketmaster

Sat, Nov. 7 — Aaron Watson at The Dirty Bourbon, 9 p.m. Country in a 400-capacity dance hall; the late start means you could catch an early set elsewhere first. Tickets

Sun, Nov. 8 — Conjunto Primavera with Banda Machos at Kiva Auditorium, 8 p.m. A double bill of regional Mexican favorites to close the week at the Convention Center's 2,300-seat hall. Tickets via Ticketmaster

Four rooms, four very different crowds, one Saturday night.

If you're building a weekend out of this, Friday at the Sunshine into Saturday at Revel is the heavy-music route, and Sunday at the Kiva is the one to bring the family to. Either way, eat early on Saturday. It's going to be a long night on the east side.
