It is hard to believe that 25 years ago, a group of six magical musicians formed Umphrey's McGee in South Bend, Indiana.  The DMV has seen our fair share of Umphrey's McGee and seemingly cannot get enough of this band and the band loves us right back.  Umphrey's McGee makes sure to always stop in and around Washington, DC, regularly, and this year is no different.

This January, the band will embark upon their annual winter tour - this year it is appropriately titled "umXXV Anniversary Tour." The band will show some Umph Love to the DMV when their tour blasts off into 2023 as they kick off their tour with TWO nights at the 9:30 Club in Washington, DC, on January 12th & 13th.

After Umphrey's manages to cram their large touring rig into the 1200-person capacity 9:30 Club, they make their way North. To mark their 25th anniversary with all the pomp and circumstance we would hope for, they head to The Capital Theatre in Port Chester, New York, on January 20th & 21st to celebrate the 25th anniversary of their first show at Bridget McGuire's Filling Station on January 21st, 1998. On January 21st, umVIP kicks off the night with a pre-party at Garcia's, featuring a festive catered private show by Hartliss (Brendan Bayliss and Jennifer Hartswick). Full pre-party details can be found at the umVIP page.

Stay tuned for more information, but we know that Umphrey's McGee is planning an umXXV retrospective as they continue to spelunk 25 years' worth of archived audio, video, art, and more.

Pre-sale tickets and umVIP packages will go on sale Tuesday, October 11th at 10:00 AM local time, with a public on sale beginning Friday, October 14th at 10:00 AM.

See you all at our beloved 9:30 Club in January!
