Umphrey’s McGee has announced a self-proclaimed “fresh” new batch of tour dates for later this year. Three of the new dates will take place in mid-May, with another two coming at the tail end of June.
Umphrey’s McGee’s first run of dates will bring them to Baldwinsville, NY, Providence, RI, Hampton Beach, NH. Roughly six weeks later, the band will swing through Boston, MA and Asbury Park, NJ. Today’s announcement comes after the sextet revealed their plans to return to Charleston, SC with Perpetual Groove on May 31st before heading to Colorado’s famed Red Rocks Amphitheater from July 5th to 7th. According to their tour art, additional 2018 summer dates will be announced in the future.
Furthermore, Umphrey’s McGee has also announced a one-of-a-kind acoustic show featuring guitarists Brendan Bayliss and Jake Cinninger on Tuesday, April 24th. While the pair has played a number of acoustic shows in the past (usually during the Holiday Season), this concert is notable because it will be the duo’s first acoustic gig in the band’s hometown of South Bend, IN. The special performance will take place at the Morris Performing Arts Center as part of the University of Notre Dame’s IDEA Week, and will feature an opening solo piano set from UM keyboardist Joel Cummins.
Pre-sale tickets for the new summer tour dates and the acoustic duo show will be available on Wednesday, March 7th. Tickets for the summer dates will go on sale to the general public on Friday, March 9th, tickets to the acoustic duo show will go on sale on Thursday, March 8th.
