BSS returns to Lolla, then tours into October

By Alex Young on July 29th, 2008

This weekend, Broken Social Scene will return Lollapalooza to make its long-awaited encore. If you remember, the Brendan Canning, Kevin Drew fronted Canadian band put on an epic 45 minute set during the 2006 version of the festival that was considered by many as the performance of the weekend. However, due to a certain other band, Broken Social Scene was unable to return to stage for one final song.

While we still aren’t all that sure as to who will fill out the lineup this time around, one thing we do know is that the indie rockers will continue touring in support of the recently released Something for All of Us… well after Lollapalooza comes to an end.

Looking for a taste of what to expect? Below is a video from the band’s most recent performance at the Hillside Music Festival…
