On April 24, 2010 Umphrey’s McGee debuted the innovative UMBowl concept, a football-themed concert in which the band would play four “quarters” (ie. sets) each with a different theme as well as “overtime” (ie. an encore). The concert has been held each year since, but that will change in 2017.

Umphrey’s McGee has revealed UMBowl will not be held in 2017. ​”While determining plans for UM shows next year, many of you have inquired about UMBowl. We have decided to take the year off from UMBowl in 2017. We’ll continue to focus on more multi-night events across the country as well a new original studio album. Rest easy knowing that we’re not hanging up our cleats permanently, UMBowl will be back,” reads a note from the band.
