UPTOWN — Mark your calendars, alternative rock fans.

The Replacements are coming to the Uptown's Riviera Theatre April 29 and April 30, and tickets go on sale Feb. 20 at 10 a.m and cost $51 each.

On Feb. 9, they announced 13 dates for their upcoming U.S. tour, which they dubbed "Back By Unpopular Demand." The extended tour is significant because the band has mostly played festival gigs since reuniting.

Originally formed in Minn., Minnesota in 1979, The Replacements are considered pioneers of alternative rock. Most recently, the original members played Riot Fest in 2013. 

To get you pumped, here's "Can't Hardly Wait," which is also the name of the beloved 1998 film starring Jennifer Love Hewitt and Seth Green, among othersbut you probably already knew that.
