Umphrey's McGee has announced the return of their football-themed show, UMBowl. The event will take place on May 1 and 2 at The Capitol Theatre in Port Chester, NY.
UMBowl began in 2010 in Chicago and ran each year through 2016, which was the last time it was held (at Brooklyn Bowl Las Vegas). Each of those consisted of a single 4-set show, each set representing a 'quarter' of a football game. During the sets, there would be various ways for fans to interact with the band, such as voting for which songs they should play in real time.
This year's edition will not stray from the interactive side of the event; however, the band has opted to hold the event over the course of two nights, playing two three-set shows. Two of those three sets each night will serve as the interactive 'quarters,' while the third will be a standard set of Umphrey's.
In their announcement video, the band billed this year's UMBowl as "the return and revamp of the ultimate interactive live music event."
Umphrey's is in the midst of their Hindsight 20/20 tour, during which they have covered Rush, played some major bust-outs and invited guest sit-ins.
