Underground Music Showcase (UMS) Schedule 2019
It finally feels like summer around Denver and a sure sign of that is the fact that the Underground Music Showcase (UMS) is right around the corner. This is our largest music festival, spanning three days, featuring over 300 bands, on three main stages, and being played out in 15 venues.
The full UMS schedule was released this week and it’s going to be a killer weekend. The main stages are spelled out below and include some great locals but here are others I recommend also catching…

Use FanPlan on Your Phones For Fast-Loading UMS Schedule
My husband Bryan has been incubating this pet project for years and it getting more and more fancy every year. FanPlan is a text-based mobile site that works on any smartphone from the browser (so bookmark the UMS schedule!) and is meant to load really fast in situations where the cell service gets really saturated, like music festivals. We have tested it all over Broadway and the only place I can’t get it to load is the 3 Kings’ bathroom. 🤣
Sort the schedule by Artist, Time or Stage (and toggle by that too) – the colors indicate stage groupings. As the day goes by, older sets move up out of the way, but still can be expanded if you want to remember who you saw that day. You can click on the Twitter icon to bring up pre-made tweets that include all the handles and hashtags you need for the set you are watching – or you can edit the wording if you like, but still have the info you need ready for you.
You can also sign in by Twitter or email to save your favorite artists and only show them if you like!
