The Underground Music Showcase (UMS), Denver’s longest-running independent music festival, in partnership with the RiNo Business Improvement District (BID) and experiential agency Two Parts, today unveiled the lineup for its 2026 festival in the River North (RiNo) Art District July 24–26.

Two of hip-hop’s most compelling forces—legendary duo Clipse and Grammy-nominated lyricist J.I.D—will take over the iconic Red Rocks Amphitheatre on Thursday, November 12, 2026, for their largest headline performance in the Colorado market to date.

Presented by Global Dance and AEG Presents Rocky Mountains, the two-day festival returns to the LVC Festival Grounds with a genre-spanning roster that reflects both the roots and future of dance music culture - uniting global headliners, bass music heavyweights, house innovators, and rising next-generation talent across a fully immersive weekend experience.

Denver-based collective Eldren returns to the stage with an ambitious, deeply personal live project: a full reinterpretation of Illinois by Sufjan Stevens, performed in its entirety on May 9 at the Gothic Theatre.
