The event was cancelled because a strike by Toronto's municipal outside workers closed ferry service to the Toronto Islands. Broken Social Scene played a free show at Harbourfront on July 11, 2009, as an apology for the event's cancellation; this show was documented in Bruce McDonald's 2010 concert film This Movie Is Broken. • Broken Social SceneExplosions in the SkyApostle of HustleBeach HouseThunderheistRattlesnake Choir 2010 June 19, 2010 • Broken Social ScenePavementBand of HorsesBeach HouseTimber Timbre • Toronto Revue August 14, 2010 • Arcade FireJanelle MonáeThe Sadies ==References==
