GLOW IN THE DARK TOUR W/ KANYE WEST, RIHANNA, N.E.R.D., LUPE FIASCO

Monday, June 2 at General Motors Place, Vancouver

Kanye West is known for his rapid transformation from hip-hop beatmaker to worldwide hitmaker, in the last few years. He continues to amaze us with his flamboyant personality and dapper fashion sense that has set him apart from most of his rap peers.

At the young age of 19, Rhianna, the Barbados born beauty, has already earned the coveted title of international superstar. In just three short years, Rihanna has helped define the path of popular music, accured multiple #1 hits, two MTV Video Music Awards and Three Billboard awards along her way.

Pharrell Williams and Chad Hugo of The Neptunes are the most revolutionary production tandem in modern music since Quincy Jones and Rod Tempterton put down shuffle-beats and doo-wops behind a young singer named Michael Jackson. N.E.R.D is the offspring of the Neptunes id, a fly-or-die, thrash-around, do-as-you-will, set-your-soul-on-fire alter ego that subscribes to no rules, adheres to no agenda. It is Pharrell Williams, Chad Hugo and Shay Hayley a trio whose chemistry allows the uninhibited exploration of the sounds, emotions and impulses of self and society, of identity and belonging.

Lupe Fiasco has trail-blazed his own path to critical acclaim. Possessing head-spinning wordplay and a topical range more akin to the underground than the mainstream, the 25-year-old lyricist has proven that talent can still make waves in the rap game. Since Lupe Fiasco debuted his first album in 2006 Lupe Fiasco's Food & Liquor (executive produced by good friend, and one-time mentor, Jay-Z) he has been nominated a remarkable three Grammy nominations - including Best Rap Album, and Best Rap Solo Performance and Best Rap Song for "Kick Push." Now, ready to capitalize on such promise, Fiasco has returned with his second offering, Lupe Fiasco's The Cool.
