Following bands like Widespread Panic and Phil Lesh & Friends, Umphrey’s McGee are the latest band in the jam scene to take a proactive approach to the recent Delta Variant/COVID-19 resurgence and require proof of vaccination or a negative test within 72 hours of their upcoming shows.
The new policy will apply to UM’s Aug. 13 gig at The Riverside Theater in Milwaukee and their Aug. 14 show at First Ave. in Minneapolis.
“Masks are highly encourages and will be word by all venue and artist staff,” reads an official announcement. “It has been both an incredible and cathartic experience to play live music for you all again, and we all need to do everything possible to ensure that it can continue.”
In July, Umphrey’s McGee released their newest studio project, You Walked Up Shaking In Your Boots But You Stood Tall And Left A Raging Bull.
