Nelly Furtado and The Beaches are igniting some major 2000s nostalgia.

In a video posted to TikTok, the Canadian singer-songwriter brought the Toronto rock band on stage to perform “Maneater” during her set at Sziget Festival in Budapest. The track is one of Furtado’s major hits off her 2006 album Loose.

Earlier in the day, Furtado shared an Instagram story from backstage of The Beaches’ performance, writing “Canadian Gold” and tagging the band.

Both artists are on a festival run — most recently, Furtado is hitting the European circuit of fests, while The Beaches had a full-circle moment at Montreal’s Osheaga last weekend.

During Sziget Festival, the other artists representing Canada at the six-day festival are pop singer Shawn Mendes, electronic artist Caribou and Vancouver producer-DJ Raven.
