You can also download the UMS app or make an account on the UMS website to create a personalized schedule of the bands you want to see to make sure you don't miss anything.
Transportation and parking
Parking is expected to be tough during UMS.
Organizers suggest calling a ride share, riding your bike, taking the light rail or at least carpooling. Bicycles, rollerblades, skateboards and scooters are not allowed within the festival, so if you choose to take one of those options, make sure to find a safe place to leave it before entering the UMS footprint.
Food
Each of the outdoor stages will have food trucks parked near them.
Many of the venues participating in the festival are also hosting specials. Check the websites and social media pages of the places you plan to be to see what they will be offering.
And there's a host of other options along South Broadway to pop in for a bite to eat or a drink.
To ensure everyone is staying safe and hydrated, water stations will also be available at each outdoor stage, so don't forget your reusable water bottle!
