Meryl Streep and Tracey Ullman have teamed up Canadian rock outfit Broken Social Scene, joining them onstage in New York to sing ‘Anthems For A Seventeen Year-Old Girl’.

The band have been on their 20th-anniversary tour of ‘You Forgot It In People’, with tonight’s (October 16) show taking place at New York’s Webster Hall. Treating fans to an extra special performance, they invited actors and unlikely guests Ullman and Streep onstage for ‘Anthems For A Seventeen Year-Old Girl’.

The New York show was the last of their North American run, which they announced back in May. Kicking off in Vancouver last month, the stint saw the outfit take their 2002 breakthrough album around Canada and the US, including a stop at Eddie Vedder‘s Ohana Festival.

Upon announcing the tour, the band said in a statement: “20-ish years ago we released ‘You Forgot It In People’, an album that changed our lives, and maybe yours, too. 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.”

Earlier this year, Broken Social Scene released a compilation album titled ‘Old Dead Young’, previewed by the new single ‘This House Is On Fire’. The 14-track record also featured B-sides, rarities and outtakes from the band’s 20-year career.

The outfit last shared brand-new material in 2019, with the twin EPs ‘Let’s Try The After (Vol 1)’ and ‘Let’s Try The After (Vol 2)’, each comprising five tracks.
