Following Paul Westerberg and Tommy Stinson's reunion at Riot Fest in 2013, The Replacements have been slowly and steadily creeping back onto the radar with a smattering of festival dates, and they released the new, 24-minute improvisational track "Poke Me In My Cage" in December. But they haven't done a full-fledged tour since 1991, and that will change this spring. The band announced a slew of tour dates for this April and May today on Twitter.

Westerberg and Stinson have also been hinting at a full-length recording project, the follow-up to 2012's Songs For Slim benefit EP. Maybe this tour is a further hint that an album is brewing? Check out the full list below if you don't like squinting at Twitter pictures.
