Jam band fan bases are never happy when their favorite band decides to do a big summer tour with another jam band. We know all the typical complaints: waste of a tour stop in your town, the other band sucks, the ticket prices are too high. Umphrey’s McGee and STS9 are trying to pacify their fans by playing a number of after-parties on their co-headlining Summer Tour that they announced this afternoon. So just relax and enjoy this one-time tour.

Let’s talk about the co-billed shows first. Each band will play an extended set and plan to switch up headlining duties depending on the city they are playing. For instance STS9 will perform second at both shows in Atlanta, while Umph’s plays last in Chicago. In addition to the co-bills both bands will play a few after parties as well. Tickets are currently available for the whole tour at STS9 Ticketing.
