Broken Social Scene

In 2017, Broken Social Scene was actively promoting their fifth studio album, "Hug of Thunder," which was released shortly before their live performance at the Shoreline Amphitheatre on July 4 of that year. The band had taken nearly a seven-year hiatus from releasing new material following their 2010 album "Forgiveness Rock Record," making "Hug of Thunder" a significant return to form. The live set showcased a mix of beloved tracks from their earlier works alongside new songs from the album, indicating the band's commitment to blending nostalgia with fresh material in their concert experience. Notably, this performance marked a celebrated reunion for the ensemble, known for its rich tapestry of collaborative musicianship, and it featured various core members, highlighting the band's multifaceted nature and strong fan engagement, as well as their reputation for dynamic live shows.
