Lineup drops on lineup drops on lineup drops …

Can you feel that, people? That's summer creeping up fast. And with these warmer months ahead comes the inevitable drenching of festival lineups en masse. While most of them tend to get repetitive and (let's be honest) completely predictable, one that stands out is Denver's own Underground Music Showcase — a 4-day music, art and panel marathon that tests not only your questionable stamina, but also the will to live …

This year the team again comes out of the blocks surprising most with its out-of-the-box choices of headliners. While other festivals opt to go after big name EDM cats or popular radio artists, UMS keeps it indie and stretches its arms into the somewhat obscure for most casual fans, but stack a talent-ridden lineup regardless. Keep in mind, this is only an initial drop, as more than a hundred acts are in line to follow. 

Tickets are available now, and as always, it's best to think about purchasing them earlier rather than later. Not only are they cheaper, they're also not sold out — which tends to happen come showtime.

Don't be left in the dust like a sucker, you'll want to be here.
