SEMINAL ROCK BAND THE REPLACEMENTS IS
“BACK BY UNPOPULAR DEMAND”
SET TO EMBARK ON ITS FIRST FULL U.S. TOUR SINCE 1991
Fillmore Auditorium
April 19
Showtime 8:00 pm / Doors 7:00 pm
The
Replacements walked away from each other in Chicago’s Grant Park on
July 4, 1991, seemingly never to return to the stage together again.
That all changed in late 2013 when singer, guitarist and principal
songwriter Paul Westerberg and bassist Tommy Stinson enthusiastically
reunited (with drummer Josh Freese and guitarist David Minehan in tow)
for nearly 100,000 fans over three Riot Fests in Toronto, Chicago and
Denver.
The
reunion received rave reviews from fans and press alike and the guys
actually enjoyed themselves. Thus, the band continued its victory lap
into 2014 by playing headline slots at festivals such as Coachella,
Shaky Knees, Forecastle and Bumbershoot. Despite being banned for life
from Saturday Night Live in 1986, the band partook in a well-received
and unexpected return to 30 Rock when Jimmy Fallon invited them to The
Tonight Show. The stage was then set for a big homecoming show at Midway
Stadium in St. Paul, MN on September 13, which sold out of all 14,000
tickets in less than 15 minutes. The following week they played for
12,000 rowdy New Yorkers at Forest Hills Stadium in Queens, and the next
logical step is now being taken - the step on to a tour bus for the
BACK BY UNPOPULAR DEMAND TOUR 2015.
That’s
right, The ‘Mats are eschewing festival stages for the more intimate
vibes of clubs and theaters throughout the United States. The only sure thing you can expect is that the band will show up, plug in and turn it up. Following
the U.S. dates, the band hops over the Atlantic to headline Spain’s
Primavera Sound festival, as well as club dates in London and Amsterdam.
This show is produced by Live Nation in association with Soda Jerk Presents.
