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.

‘CFNY: The Spirit of Radio’ Documentary Captures the Essence of Influential Ontario Rock Station

Now streaming for free via TVO docs, the documentary captures the alternative spirit of the GTA station that made waves in the '80s and '90s before being rebranded as 102.1 The Edge. There are interviews with Rush’s Geddy Lee, Metric's Emily Haines, Sum 41's Deryck Whibley and more.

A new documentary is unpacking the rise of CFNY, the influential radio station born in the suburbs just outside Toronto.

CFNY: The Spirit of Radio focuses on the “golden age of radio in Canada," known as one of the first modern rock radio stations to have a major impact on the airwaves. After being acquired by TVO Docs, the documentary premiered in Canada on Jan. 6 and is also streaming for free via TVO and on YouTube (below).
