The Know: Denver’s Underground Music Showcase plans late-summer 2021 return to South Broadway

“The Rocky Mountain region’s biggest indie-music festival will return in 2021, according to the owner of Denver’s long-running Underground Music Festival.

Co-created by Denver Post music writers John Moore and Ricardo Baca — and then scaled up to a South by Southwest-style event with hundreds of bands and nearly two dozen venues — the event was sold in 2018 to Denver boutique-events producer Two Parts.

The company staged a scaled-down lineup with scaled-up experiences for the next two years, prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, which postponed it throughout 2020. Now, organizers say the festival will return Aug. 27-29 along its traditionally walkable, South Broadway route, and about a month later than its traditional late-July staging.”
