Chicago’s own, Umphrey’s McGee, has announced a pair of drive-in shows for September 5 & 6. The shows will be performed in Bridgeview, IL at SeatGeek Stadium. Consistent with other drive-in shows, they are selling “car tickets” which include parking for one car with 4 people as well as an open space adjacent to your vehicle to set up chairs. Personal coolers are not only allowed, they are encouraged. It has been over 5 months since UM has performed live in front of an audience.

With your cooperation and adherence to these necessary safety guidelines, we look forward to being able to finally enjoy two nights of UM At the Drive Inn and rock together once again.
Coming less than 24 hours after the announcement of the drive-in, UM officially announced the cancellation of their Fall Tour.
The official statement from the band reads:
We remained hopeful that we might be able fully tour this fall, however due to the realties surrounding the Covid19 pandemic we are postponing all California, Texas & Oklahoma 2020 dates to September 2021. All tickets purchased will be valid for the 2021 dates, however refunds will be made available via the original point of purchase.We look forward to rocking with you once more. Until then, be safe and take care of each other.
