Umphrey’s McGee Announces Return to The ELM in 2025
Eclectic, prog-rock giant, Umphrey’s McGee, will bring their Cruising Altitude 2025 Tour to The ELM in Bozeman on March 12th.
Known for their adventurous, unpredictable, and highly energetic live shows, the jam-heavy sextet effortlessly weaves through genres, transitioning from hard-hitting rock to spaced-out electronica in a way few bands can. Over the years, Umphrey’s McGee has delivered unforgettable performances in Montana, several of which have been captured in pro-shot videos of songs like “Draconian,” “The Fuzz,” “Cut the Cable,” and “Bad Friday.” Their performance of “Escape Goat” at The ELM even earned a spot on their Hall of Fame: Class of 2022 (Live) album.
For the past 27 years, Umphrey’s McGee has played over 2,500 shows and racked up more than 300 million streams. Always at the forefront of live concert innovation, they were the first band to launch their own single-artist streaming service and introduced the groundbreaking “Headphones & Snowcones” program, allowing fans to experience a soundboard-quality mix through professional headphones during their shows. They continue to be a prolific artists, continuously releasing new live footage every week as you can see on their YouTube. Their 14th studio album, Asking For A Friend, was released in 2022.
We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again, no one delivers a live performance quite like Umphrey’s McGee. Get your tickets ASAP and prepare for a rock show unlike any other!

About Umphrey's McGee
Chicago’s eclectic rock band Umphrey’s McGee has been keeping fans on their toes for nearly 27 years now. Though often pigeonholed into “jam band” circles, Umphrey’s doesn’t fit that traditional mold; and their fans don’t either. Is it prog rock? Song-forward, Beatles-esque arrangements? Be careful, they might hit you with some metal riffs mid-set, too. Amongst 2,500+ gigs and 300 million+ tracks streamed, you-had-to-be-there moments include the band’s performance at the first-ever Bonnaroo and selling more CDs (remember those?) than any other act on the bill. A leader in the live music world, Umphrey’s McGee became the first group to launch its own single-artist streaming service with UMLive.net, which houses recordings of every gig since 2005. The service has since grown and now
lives on through Nugs.net, which is used by the likes of Pearl Jam, Bruce Springsteen, and more.
Beyond intimate backstage encounters and ski trips with their most diehard fans, Umphrey’s McGee instituted the groundbreaking “Headphones & Snowcones” program, granting fans access to professional headphones and a soundboard-quality mix to listen wirelessly at shows. At their UMBowl, they empowered the audience to vote on the setlist in real-time and choose favorite improv themes via text message. In 2017, they stepped into another realm altogether by integrating themselves into the VR Platform Endless Riff. All of the above has earned the band status as kings of the live music scene with standing yearly engagements at iconic venues, their own events in Iceland (Rockjavick) and Mexico (Holidaze), and co-hosting Chillicothe, IL’s long-running Summer Camp festival. In April 2025, Umphrey’s McGee will lead their faithful fans on another bucket list musical adventure: Morockshow will feature three nights in Marrakech, Morocco, marking another signature event in an exotic location. Umphrey’s McGee’s latest release Asking For A Friend showcases more evolved songwriting and thoughtful arranging from a band continuing to grow and mature with their droves of die-hard, longtime fans.
