moe. and Umphrey’s McGee

For nearly 30 years, Chicago’s eclectic rock band Umphrey’s McGee has been keeping fans on their toes. Pushing 3,000 live gigs, 15 studio albums, and 300 million+ tracks streamed, the band continues to defy classification and expectation.

Pioneers at the intersection of music and technology, their live experience fuses cutting-edge production with fan-centric innovation, creating a space where longtime followers and newcomers alike feel at home. More than just a band, Umphrey’s McGee is a living, breathing organism—constantly evolving, yet grounded in a singular mission: to create bold, immersive, and memorable musical experiences.

That same restless spirit has long defined another cornerstone of the modern jam scene. Created almost thirty years ago at the University of Buffalo, moe.’s freewheeling musical jams burst with bold, genre-defying creativity and tongue-in-cheek humor. Today, moe.’s tireless work ethic, DIY resourcefulness, infectious songwriting, and highly-engaged fanbase—the Famoe.ly—keeps the band moving, performing an average 100 shows per year.

Together, the two bands promise a genre-bending evening at Ravinia as progressive rock, funk, jazz, metal, electronic, and beyond converge into a boundary-pushing celebration of improvisation and community.
