LIVE REVIEW: METRIC, BROKEN SOCIAL SCENE AND STARS BRING ALL THE FEELINGS TO THE TABERNACLE, ATLANTA, GA – AUGUST 3, 2026

Three closely connected Canadian bands took over Atlanta’s Tabernacle on Monday, August 3, when Metric, Broken Social Scene and Stars brought the All the Feelings Tour to the city.

With so much history shared between the musicians on the bill, the tour could have easily leaned completely into nostalgia. Instead, each band used its time to acknowledge the music that built its following while continuing to move forward. Metric and Broken Social Scene both arrived with new albums released earlier this year, giving the night a balance between familiar songs and material that is still finding its place in their live shows.

Stars opened the evening with the shortest set of the three, but their place on the bill felt like more than a traditional opening slot. The band’s music has always relied heavily on the contrast between Torquil Campbell and Amy Millan, with their vocals often presenting two sides of the same relationship or conversation.

The currently documented portion of the Atlanta set includes “The Theory of Relativity,” “Ageless Beauty” and “No One Is Lost.” Together, the songs covered different parts of the band’s catalog while establishing the emotional tone suggested by the tour’s name. “Ageless Beauty” carried the recognizable melodic pull of the band’s earlier work, while “No One Is Lost” provided an appropriately direct statement to close the documented portion of the set.

Broken Social Scene followed at 8 p.m., filling the middle of the night with an 11-song set that moved between the band’s early catalog and its recently released album, Remember the Humans.

The set began with “Cause = Time,” immediately placing the performance inside the era that introduced many listeners to Broken Social Scene. “7/4 (Shoreline)” followed before “Ibi Dreams of Pavement (A Better Day)” shifted briefly into “Total Eclipse of the Heart.”

Broken Social Scene’s constantly changing collection of musicians has always made the band feel less like a conventional rock group and more like a gathering of people adding to the same idea. That structure remained important during a set that could move from layered arrangements into something more direct without losing its identity.

The band also made space for its current work. “Paying for Your Love” arrived early, while “The Call” appeared later in the set. Both songs come from Remember the Humans, Broken Social Scene’s first new studio album in nine years. Placing those tracks beside older songs such as “Texico Bitches,” “Hug of Thunder,” “Sweetest Kill” and “Fire Eye’d Boy” kept the performance from turning into a simple retrospective.

The final portion returned to some of the band’s most established material. “Anthems for a Seventeen Year-Old Girl” led into “KC Accidental,” closing the set with two songs from You Forgot It in People. It was a fitting ending for a band whose past remains important without being the only reason it continues to exist.

Metric took the stage at approximately 9:30 p.m. Following Lou Reed’s “Real Good Time Together” over the speakers, the band opened with “Victim of Luck,” the first single from its tenth studio album, Romanticize the Dive.

Rather than saving the new material for isolated moments, Metric placed it throughout the performance. “Oh Please” followed the opener before the set moved into “Youth Without Youth,” “Monster Hospital” and “Poster of a Girl.” The opening stretch quickly connected the band’s newest chapter with songs from Synthetica and Live It Out.

“Crush Forever” brought the set back to Romanticize the Dive, followed by “Lost Kitten,” “Now or Never Now” and “Breathing Underwater.” The sequence showed how naturally the new songs fit beside material from different points in Metric’s catalog. The electronic edge of the later records and the guitar-driven sound of the earlier albums did not feel separated into different sections. They remained part of the same progression.

“Leave You on a High” became the third new-album track in the middle of the performance, followed by “All Comes Crashing,” “Tremolo” and “Synthetica.” By that point, the set had covered more than two decades without relying on a strict chronological arrangement.

The closing stretch concentrated several of Metric’s most recognizable songs into a short period. “Gold Guns Girls” was followed by “Loyal,” “Gimme Sympathy” and “Combat Baby,” moving from Fantasies all the way back to Old World Underground, Where Are You Now?

After leaving the stage, Metric returned for a two-song encore. “Help I’m Alive” gave the audience one final selection from Fantasies before “Black Sheep” closed the night.

What this tour gets right is trusting the audience to want more than nostalgia. Three bands with a genuinely tangled history, playing new songs with the same conviction as the old ones, never once treating the night as a reunion tribute to themselves.

The All the Feelings Tour rolls on through Toronto, then across to Dublin, Glasgow and London. If you get the chance, go. Don’t be surprised if you leave humming a song from a record that came out this year instead of one you already knew by heart.
