Broken Social Scene announce ‘You Forgot It In People’ 20th anniversary North American tour

The band will take their breakthrough 2002 album on the road from September

Broken Social Scene have announced a North American tour to celebrate the 20th anniversary of their second studio album, ‘You Forgot It In People’.

The run of dates will kick off in September in Vancouver, continuing along to Seattle, Portland, California, Chicago, Philadelphia, Washington, New York and beyond. The dates include a stop at Eddie Vedder‘s Ohana Festival, where they’ll perform ‘You Forgot It In People’ in full. Tickets for the band’s headline shows go on sale this Friday (May 6) at 10am local time.

“20-ish years ago we released ‘You Forgot It In People’, an album that changed our lives, and maybe yours, too,” the indie rock lifers wrote on social media when announcing the shows. “To celebrate, we’re heading out on tour to play songs from that album and many more of your favourites. Possibly some new ones, too. Hope to see you there.”
