As with all of his projects before this, the Yes! Karma Tour is breaking boundaries. These shows are not ticketed, and entrance will be on a first-come first-served basis. Rogers customers will be offered guaranteed access to the shows through the Wireless Box Office. As of April 15, visit: facebook.com/urmusic for all the details. In order to gain entrance into the venue, there is no purchase necessary whatsoever. “Karma” donations can be made inside the venue at 3 separate locations, and will always be rewarded with a free CD: the k-os “fan-mixed” album, “Yes! It’s Yours.” What is a “Karma Donation”?: * In exchange for what promises to be an unforgettable concert experience with k-os, fans are being given 3 opportunities to contribute to the cause… *#1 - David Suzuki Awareness Table: 50% of payments made at this table will go to the David Suzuki Foundation, the other 50% will go towards offsetting tour costs. *#2 - Karma Table: this table will be designated for Karma donations only. *# 3 - Exit doors: Security will be set up at the exit doors of each show with cash-only drop boxes for people to pay what they felt the show was worth.

THE urMUSIC.CA K-OS YES! KARMA TOUR
Thursday, April 30 at Commodore Ballroom (868 Granville St)

Friday, May 1 at Croation Cultural Centre

K-os’ return to the Vancouver stage next month will come as part of a groundbreaking tour of Canada designed around the concept of karma. Each show on this tour is free to enter, with fans given opportunities to make “Karma” donations inside the venue in exchange for an always-incendiary live show and a bonus - the K-os “fan-mixed” album, “Yes! It’s Yours.”

K-os’ long-awaited new album, “YES!” , is set to be released on April 14 through the Nettwerk Music Group and Universal Music Canada. The bonus to this album is “Yes! It’s Yours.” - an album mixed entirely by his fans through Indaba Music, the leading collaboration tool and social network for musicians, where master stem tracks from the songs on “YES!” were made available to their international community of over 100,000 musicians to submit their remixes of a given track, with a chance to win a spot on the album “Yes! It’s Yours.”

The urMusic.ca K-OS YES! KARMA TOUR breaks boundaries by offering the shows for free on a first-come, first-served basis. “Karma” donations can be made inside the venue in three specific locations, including options to donate to the David Suzuki Foundation. Also, check out the “Karma table” or use the cash-only drop box on the way out. All karma donations will give the audience member a free CD: the k-os “fan-mixed” album, “Yes! It’s Yours.”

K-os’ uniquely subversive hip hop twist on popular music and culture is not surprising considering that over the past decade he’s regularly synthesized a stunningly progressive musical gumbo of hits. With two certified platinum-selling albums (“Joyful Rebellion”, “Atlantis”) and one gold one (“Exit”) to his credit, he’s also won multiple Juno Awards (2003, 2005), Much Music Video Awards (2004), Canadian Urban Music Awards (2003, 2004), a Source Award for Best International Hip Hop Artist (2003), and even garnered a Grammy nomination in 2005 for his collaboration with the Chemical Brothers on “Get Yourself High”.

Tickets are 1st come 1st served and it is a ‘pay as you feel’ after the show.
