Replacements to reunite in Chicago?

The Replacements’ legendarily calamitous decade-long run ended July 4, 1991, at an unceremonious outdoor gig in Chicago. Could that also be where and how remaining members Paul Westerberg and Tommy Stinson go about playing their first-ever reunion gig in 2013?

There are currently strong hints of a ‘Mats reunion blowing out of the Windy City centered around Riot Fest, and they’re blowing harder following this cryptic tweet sent out this afternoon — but deleted a couple hours later — via the @RiotFest account:

“holy. [expletive]. We’re getting the band back together. #riotfest”

There are other indicators that make the Chicago rumors more believable, including the fact that — by all accounts — Westerberg and Stinson both had a blast making the “Songs for Slim” tribute EP for former bandmate Slim Dunlap late last year, and it’s still a good/necessary cause for them to promote with a gig. Original drummer Chris Mars also gave a song for the EP but has always talked as if he’s permanently out of the band.

Scheduled Sept. 13-15 in Chicago’s Humboldt Park, Riot Fest has been advertising a mystery slot since its lineup was issued a month ago (“?????” on the posters). Internet and social media chatter predictably pointed to the Replacements, among others. Unpredictably, though, reliable sources are not ruling out the rumors that it’s them.
