Rock Legend Tommy Stinson Hits Wrigleyville's Beloved Gman Tavern — Plus a Father's Day Giveaway Weekend at the Friendly Confines

By Socialhood News · Il/Chicago/Wrigleyville · June 18, 2026

Wrigleyville is serving up a packed weekend of community fun, and it all starts at one of the North Side's most beloved dive bars. This Saturday, June 20, Tommy Stinson & Friends takes the stage at the legendary Gman Tavern — and the show is already sold out. Stinson, the iconic bassist of The Replacements and a genuine rock 'n' roll stalwart, is bringing his live act to one of Wrigleyville's most intimate and storied venues, making it a truly special neighborhood moment for music fans lucky enough to have snagged a ticket.

And if that weren't enough to fill your weekend dance card, Wrigley Field is rolling out the red carpet for the Toronto Blue Jays series with a pair of can't-miss giveaways. On Friday, June 19, the first fans through the gates score a free Cubs 1930s Replica Jersey as part of the #BudFridays promotion — a throwback to some of the most iconic uniforms in baseball history. Then on Sunday, June 21, it's a Father's Day Shirt giveaway at the 1:20 PM matinee, making it the perfect excuse to bring dad out to the Friendly Confines for a classic summer afternoon at the ballpark.

From an intimate sold-out rock show at Gman Tavern to retro jerseys and Father's Day celebrations at Wrigley Field, this neighborhood knows how to do a weekend right. Grab your Blue Jays series tickets at mlb.com/cubs, stop by Gman Tavern at 3740 N. Clark St. to soak up the post-show energy, and share your Father's Day Wrigleyville plans with your neighbors — the community wants to hear from you!
