The Replacements coming to the Festival Pier in May

Who saw them at Houston Hall?

The Replacements are coming to Philadelphia.

The ragged but right great 1980s rock band hgave played various one-off and festival dates since singer guitarist Paul Westerberg and sidekick Tomy Stinson reunited in 2012 and played Riot Fest in Chicago the next year, but have yet to go on a proper tour.

That''ll change when the band heads out on a U.S. jaunt that begins April 9 in Seattle and comes to the Festival Pier on Penn's Landing on May 9. That band's last album, All Shook Down, came out in 1990. They're rumored to be working on a new one.

No ticket on sale info avaialble yet. Tour dates are listed here.
