The Replacements to headline Riot Fest
The Replacements have been revealed as the headliner for all three Riot Fests in Toronto (Aug. 24-25) Chicago (Sept. 13-15) and Denver (Sept. 21-22). These will be the band's first shows in 22 years--their last live performance was on July 4, 1991 at Grant Park in Chicago. No word yet on the lineup, other than the assumed participation of Paul Westerberg and Tommy Stinson.
Westerberg and Stinson reunited as the Replacements earlier this year for the covers EP Songs for Slim, a benefit for 'Mats guitarist Slim Dunlap who'd suffered a stroke in Feb. 2012. For the full lineups of each Riot Fest (so far), click below.
