Best Live Music Venue - Journal Pavilion
5601 University Blvd SE Albuquerque, NM 87105
505-452-5100
This is the largest music venue in Albuquerque. Located south of the city, it holds 6,000 in reserved seating and another 6,000 in the lawn/festival area. Many of the larger bands touring nationally choose to play The Pavilion as it will accommodate the most amount of fans. There are large big screen video monitors that are super if your seats lack an unobstructed view! It is typical of larger places in that parking can be problematic – plan to have a tailgate party before and after the concert – a good way to avoid the traffic hassle and leave happy! The website will have the schedule of upcoming shows.
