Underground Music Showcase

UMS is 25, and we’ve got some big news. 

After 25 unforgettable years, UMS as we’ve come to know it is taking the stage one final time. We can’t predict the future— but we can promise this: The final UMS in its current form will be legendary.

THIS SUMMER WILL GO DOWN IN HISTORY

Take a deep breath — we got you. This isn’t a slow fade. It’s a blowout. UMS 2025 will be the kind of weekend people talk about for the next 25 years.

A FESTIVAL BUILT BY YOU

From dive bars to house shows, from South Broadway to the national stage — this scene, this community, this festival — it’s been shaped by artists, fans, and the creative weirdos who dared to do things differently. For 25 years, UMS has celebrated the best of Colorado’s independent music culture.

LEGACY IS LOUDER

What we’ve built together is bigger than a weekend. The music. The memories. The relationships. That’s legacy — and you’re part of it. We’re spending the next month honoring that legacy — and then we’re closing it out together, in the loudest, proudest way possible.

Starting now, we’re counting down 25 iconic UMS moments in 25 days. Follow along as we relive the energy, chaos, and unforgettable sets that shaped – and will shape – Colorado’s independent music scene.

ART DOESN’T END. IT EVOLVES.

UMS didn’t burn out — it lit the fuse. For 25 years, we’ve been at the heart of independent and discovery music in the region. And while this chapter is closing, Colorado’s music scene will keep pushing forward — louder, bolder, and more connected than ever.

BE PART OF HISTORY

UMS 2025 is the final showcase in this form. Festivals are hard to sustain — and 25 years is something to be proud of. As we look to the future, we know the next era of Colorado music will come from this community: from your ideas, your inspiration, your fire. But first: Let’s do this thing, one loud last time.

You gotta be there!
