The umXXV Anniversary Tour kicks off with two nights at 9:30 Club in Washington, D.C. (1/12, 1/13). Later that month, Umphrey’s will head to New York for a three-night run culminating with two shows at The Capitol Theatre in Port Chester (1/20, 1/21). The second show will mark exactly 25 years since Umphrey’s McGee’s first-ever concert at Bridget McGuire’s Filling Station in South Bend, IN in 1998.

The pre-party will also include a screening of an upcoming umXXV retrospective, which the band said will include “25 years’ worth of archived audio, video, art, and more.” Full details on the umVIP pre-party are available here.
The rest of the tour will see Umphrey’s McGee play both coasts, the Midwest, and the high seas with an appearance on Jam Cruise 19. On January 15th in Bethlemen, PA, Umphrey’s will receive support from Neighbor, while bassist Ryan Stasik‘s side project Doom Flamingo will open on a three-night stretch of Midwest shows in Fort Wayne, IN (1/26); Grand Rapids, MI (1/27); and Detroit, MI (1/28).
