When and where is the Underground Music Showcase in 2024?

The shows are happening July 26-28 and will be held at several venues along about a mile of South Broadway between 6th Avenue and Alameda Avenue.

Stoner said there will be at least three outdoor stages and many of the performances will be at the same venues that have been part of the festival in the past, including Hi-Dive, Skylark Lounge and HQ Denver.

As per usual, the main stage will be in the Goodwill parking lot, located at 21 S. Broadway.
