Having only played one show in the New York area since January 2016—an awesome show at Central Park Summerstage that most fans will, unfortunately, remember for the massive downpour during the second set—NYC is more than ready for progressive rock titans Umphrey’s McGee to return this weekend. The band has two shows scheduled at the “original rock palace,” aka The Capitol Theatre, plus a super-sold-out Sunday-night underplay set for Brooklyn Bowl, and Umphrey’s New York fanbase is collectively foaming at the mouth in anticipation. Now, fans of Umphrey’s Mcgee who can’t make it to The Capitol Theatre or the Brooklyn Bowl this weekend can watch all three shows from the comforts of their own living rooms, and, as team Umphrey’s would say, pants are most definitely optional.
Umphrey’s McGee Announce Brand-New Album & 20th Anniversary Tour
TourGigs has just announced that they will be live-streaming all three New York-area Umphrey’s McGee shows this weekend. Friday night’s stream from the Capitol Theatre will also include the opening set from rising Sudanese-fusion star Sinkane, while Saturday night’s stream from The Cap will also include the opening set from rising jam-stars Space Bacon. While Friday and Saturday’s shows at The Cap will start at 8:00 PM, Sunday’s show at The Bowl has no opening act, and, as such, Umphrey’s and their live-stream will start around 8:30 PM.
