I’M NOT 21, MY CHILD ISN’T 21… what can I do?

The Underground Music Showcase is intended to be open and accessible to all. However, certain realities and laws are worth noting.

This is a music festival occurring in many indoor and outdoor venues. It will be loud, it might be hot, it might be crowded. Please keep that in mind in considering bringing children.

The majority of the indoor venues are 21+, with the exception of Moe’s, Illegal Pete’s, Baere, Banded Oak, and the South Broadway Christian Church. Some others may or may not allow people under the age of 21 to enter, and this is up to each individual venue's discretion. Regardless of what ticket or wristband you have, no one under the age of 21 will be admitted to the majority of indoor venues.

Anyone under the age of 16 must be accompanied by an adult at all times. Kids under the age of 10 are free. 10+ must purchase a valid ticket.

Your UMS wristband gets you access to each and every performance. Keep in mind, however, that many artists will be performing at the same time and some areas will have limited capacities. You should plan accordingly and arrive early if there’s a particular performer you really want to see. Also, the lineup is always subject to change whether due to volcanoes or any other reason.

Plan to take a Lyft and show your receipt to a Lyft ambassador upon arrival to get your wristband. Get there early to make sure you don't miss out! Also, don't forget to use promo code UMS2018 for 25% off your first ride to UMS (valid all weekend, for current and new Lyft riders). Or feel free to ride a bike, or take a walk and take in the sights and experience all that Broadway has to offer.
