Umphrey’s McGee Moves Chucktown Ball Indoors

Chicago prog-jammers Umphrey’s McGee have announced this weekend’s Chucktown Ball has been moved indoors due to weather concerns. Friday and Saturday’s concerts will now be held at the North Charleston Coliseum.

Umphrey’s McGee will play two sets each night of the event which will also feature performances from Moon Taxi and Dead 27s on Friday, September 23 and The Floozies, Dangermuffin and The Hip Abduction on Saturday, September 24. In addition to the music, Chucktown Ball will also include local food options, libations and vending. Chucktown Ball will contribute a portion of proceeds to the MUSC Shawn Jenkins Children’s Hospital, to aide in the work they do for South Carolina families.

Read a note posted by the band:

The recent heavy rains experienced in the Charleston area have water-logged the grounds of Riverfront Park. With more rain in the forecast over the course of the next few days, conditions are likely to worsen. Thus, we will be unable to safely and expediently build the festival site as planned. With this in mind, Chucktown Ball is being moved to the North Charleston Coliseum. We take our fans’ safety very seriously and want to provide you with the best experience possible. All previously purchased tickets will be honored at the new venue and all bands will still perform as planned, with the exception of Dangermuffin, who are no longer available to participate. We intend to take the vision of Chucktown Ball and deliver an amazing experience alongside the accommodating staff of the the North Charleston Coliseum, who are thrilled to now be hosting our event. We hope you are ready for some arena rock!
