Umphrey’s McGee announced UMBowl XII. The fan-driven, football-themed shows are set to take place at Milwaukee’s Pabst Theatre on October 9 and 10.

Umphrey’s McGee will bring UMBowl to Milwaukee for the first time, although the band is no stranger to Milwaukee just north of their hometown Chicago. Previous iterations of the event have taken place in Chicago, New York, Las Vegas and Boston. Last year’s UMBowl made its debut at the historic Ryman Auditorium in Nashville.

Press materials further detailed UMBowl XII:

On October 9th & 10th, the ultimate fan-driven UM event returns to the Midwest for round 12, taking over Milwaukee’s Pabst Theater for two nights.

Fan votes, real-time audibles, endless surprises, deep cuts and three sets each night.

After 11 UMBowls, we’ve learned one thing: trying to predict what’s going to happen is a waste of time.

Presales and VIP packages for UMBowl 2026 begin on August 19. Tickets go on sale to the general public on Friday, August 21 at 10 a.m. CT.
