#ums2016

I will be attending UMS this year and wanted to help anyone looking for some last minute recommendations on who to see. I have listened to all the bands that are on the line-up list (yes crazy I know) as of writing this post. I will start with my personal roster of bands that I plan to see, followed by anyone that I recommend but won’t be able to this year. 

Wednesday 27th

There are a few bands playing 3 Kings Tavern the night before the official festival starts. I’m going to try to make it to these shows but this week is so manic that I’m unsure.
