Poor Tommy,,, Full Travel

If im correct Josh Freese is playing drums for The Replacements now. So we have a tour with two GN'R members!

Josh played for the first three shows (The Riot Fest shows) it's currently unknown if he'll be returning for the next batch of dates at the present moment, but I'd say chances are good.

(Not to mention there's strong rumors brewing for a homecoming show finally happening in October..I for one certainly hope so - I wouldn't go to that fest willingly unless the Mats get announced).

Friday nights set at Coachella will be streamed live;

Josh is on board. He posted some photos and comments from rehearsals today.

the replacements are not being streamed live according to the coachella youtube channel.

I believe this is from Tommy's personal manager.

REPLACEMENTS MIDWAY TICKETS SOLD OUT IN MINUTES

Rumors of a second show being added to the Sept. 13 date at Midway Stadium are just that, for now.

Tickets for the Minneapolis rock legends? Sept. 13 at Midway Stadium sold out within minutes of the general on-sale this morning. That?s about 13,000 tickets gone before you can name the last Paul Westerberg album, which will be the biggest crowd the band ever played to in its home town(s). It will also be the first Replacements show in the Twin Cities in 23 years, following an initial short run of festival reunion gigs at that started last August.

That they did. Within 15 minutes for the first presale, within 5 minutes for the second presale (I scored two here and by the time I finished my transaction they were sold out already!) and on the day of general sale it was within 10 to 15 minutes I do believe.
