One of our favorite festivals has just announced the second wave of artist and headliners for this years event. The 15th Annual Denver Post Underground Music Showcase has announced a second round of artists to perform at the 2015 festival. Tennis are set to join STRFKR and DIIV as headliners of the 15th edition of the festival. Fresh off of a sold out show at The Bluebird Theater to kick off their Spring tour featuring sold out dates in New York, Philadelphia, San Francisco, San Diego and Los Angeles, Tennis is joined by Austin’s Residual Kid, Ashville’s Holy Ghost Tent Revival and Denver’s Snake Rattle Rattle Snake in the 2nd round of artist announcements.

The UMS is the largest indie music festival in the Rocky Mountain region with more than 400 local, national and international artists taking part. It is an animated block party that has proven to be a yearly highlight of the Denver cultural calendar and this year promises to be bigger than ever.
