Page "Broken Social Scene" Paragraph 11

Broken Social Scene were last minute replacement performers at North America's first Virgin Festival, at Toronto Islands Park, the weekend of September 9 – 10, 2006.

Contacted on September 7 after headliners Massive Attack cancelled due to problems involving obtaining U. S. visas, the entire band, just returned from a European tour in August, managed to assemble to close the festival Sunday night.

Appearing on the main Virgin Mobile Stage, immediately following performances by international superstar bands The Strokes and The Raconteurs, Broken Social Scene took the stage at 10: 00 p. m., and played a set of over an hour.

Through the performance the band was joined by Feist, Amy Millan of Stars, k-os, and Emily Haines of Metric.

This was the last show featuring the rare 15 member lineup of the band until 2009.
