Broken Social Scene celebrate Remember The Humans with Rough Trade East acoustic/Q&A event

Broken Social Scene appear at Rough Trade East in London on 11 May for an acoustic performance, Q&A and signing tied to their new album Remember The Humans. The event follows the 8 May release of the band’s first new studio album in almost nine years, making it a meaningful in-person moment for UK fans.

Broken Social Scene have always been more than a normal band. They are a collective, a community, and one of the defining names of 2000s Canadian indie rock. That makes an acoustic/Q&A format especially interesting, because it pulls the focus away from the big collective roar.

Tickets included a physical copy of the album to collect at the venue, connecting the event to the old record-shop culture that helped build indie communities in the first place. For a May 11 news digest, this is one of the strongest major-indie items. Source: https://www.linesapp.co/event/broken-social-scene-acousticqanda-plus-signing-2026-05-11-rough-trade-east-london-london
