UMPHREY'S DENVER NEW YEAR'S RUN


Umphrey’s McGee considers Colorado as their second home, and we are stoked to return to the Front Range for our annual New Year’s Run celebration. For our upcoming four-night run at The Fillmore, we will be performing December 27th and 28th, taking a day to recharge on the 29th (’cause we’re all old like Joel now), and then hit the stage twice more on the 30th and, of course, the 31st to ring in 2020.

umVIP will carefully curate four different package options for those of you wanting to take your New Year’s Run to eleven. Over the years of putting these packages together, we have determined that everyone has different viewing preferences for UM, and thus we have carved out various sections of The Fillmore to suit your needs. We’ve also locked down a sweet travel package with accommodations at The Four Seasons, including a dedicated umVIP runner van to get you to and from the show safely and comfortably every night. Take a look, pick your poison, and come rock out with us.

We are finalizing a killer support lineup which we are excited to announce in the coming days. Stay tuned! Otherwise, have your trigger fingers ready on Tuesday, July 16th, at 10:00 am MT when we will release a limited number of discounted four-day pre-sale passes and all umVIP packages. The public on sale, which will include single-day tickets, will begin Friday, July 19th at 10:00 am MT.

See you in Denver!
