UMS 2015 Guide
Schomp MINI’s Guide to the 2015 Underground Music Showcase
The 2015 Underground Music Showcase presented by Schomp MINI officially kicks off today. 440 bands will perform at over 20 venues throughout south Broadway, starting later this afternoon and running through Sunday night. With a lineup so huge, featuring both local and national talent, it can be tough to choose which bands and artists you want to see, let alone figure out where they’re actually performing. We’ve put together a guide of who we’re suggesting that you must not miss this year, along with some tips about the event in general.
Parking
The best way to arrive to UMS without hassle is either by biking, walking or taking Uber. But if you have to drive, there are a few places you can park. There are a limited number of spaces at the Broadway Marketplace located at Broadway and Alameda. Park in the designated spaces only, as the others WILL be towed. You can also park at the RTD Park and Ride at Alameda Station, or the RTD Park and Ride at Broadway and I 25. The “0” bus line will bring you right to the UMS’s doorstep.
Venues
There are about 20 venues that will offer live music this weekend. All of the venues are along South Broadway and neighboring streets. If you don’t want to see any specific bands or artists, we just suggest walking around South Broadway and letting music grab your attention.
Times
Staring today around 6 p.m. and this weekend around mid-afternoon, each of the days will feature live music, but it varies throughout each day. Luckily, we’ve put together a schedule for you, below.
