The debaucherous four day music festival winded to a close last night, and from the sounds of it, many attendees’ livers probably couldn’t have handled much more UMS. I was able to catch less than a handful of artists at this year’s UMS, but one thing is certain. Next year’s UMS will be bigger and have more venues.
