The original alternative rock band The Replacements returns to Milwaukee this spring, bringing its "Back By Unpopular Demand" tour to The Rave on Saturday, May 2. 

The Minneapolis-based rockers broke up in 1991. However, in 2012, The Replacements announced that the band was back in business with original members Paul Westerberg and Tommy Stinson on board. A year later, the reformed band performed their first shows – located in Chicago, Denver and Toronto – in over two decades, and they've continued to play since. 

Tickets for the show go on sale starting Friday, Feb. 20 beginning at 10 a.m.
