Last night the Replacements announced they'll reunite and perform a trio of shows later on this year. The three shows are headline slots for this year's Riot Fests in Chicago, Toronto, and Denver. One of the reunion shows will take place in Chicago, which is pretty fitting considering the band's final show took place in the Windy City back in 1991.
Tickets for all three Riot Fests are on sale now:
Chicago's Riot Fest is September 13 through 15 and also features old school acts Blondie, Violent Femmes, Dinosaur Jr, X, Peter Hook, Bob Mould, and more. Tickets are available here.
Toronto's Riot Fest is August 24 & 25 and includes Iggy & the Stooges, Dinosaur Jr, Rocket From the Crypt, and more. Tickets are available here.
Denver's Riot Fest is September 21 & 22nd and includes Iggy & the Stooges, Naked Ray Gun, Flag, Bad Religion, the Stranglers, and more. Tickets are available here.
