Marking the first time the group has headlined since playing a free Fourth Of July show at Chicago’s Grant Park in 1991, The Replacements will return to its Twin Cities stomping grounds to rock Midway Stadium in Saint Paul, Minn., Sept. 13.
In addition to Westerberg and Stinson, the band includes guitarist David Minehan and Josh Freese on drums.
