Replacements Added to Shaky Knees Lineup

Last month, we hipped you to the initial lineup for the Shaky Knees Music Fest, which will take over Atlanta’s Atlantic Station May 9–11. We also noted that one headliner was yet to be announced. That headliner has now been revealed: Minneapolis punk legends The Replacements will perform.

The reunited ‘Mats (well, sorta reunited: Paul Westerberg and Timmy Stinson are the founding members holding down the fort) have been popping up at various festivals and the like for much of the past year, and it’ll certainly be cool to see them play the Peach State. Tickets for Shaky Knees, which will also feature Modest Mouse, The National, Violent Femmes and many more artists, are available here.
