YEW! k-os will be returning to Australia to perform exclusive headline shows in Melbourne and Sydney this August alongside his Splendour in the Grass appearance.

k-os (also known as Kheaven Brereton) has enjoyed much acclaim from his fourth studio album Yes!, featuring guest appearances from Emily Haines of Metric & Murray Lightburn of The Dears. With it’s innovative sound, Yes! made waves with “4,3,2,1” (hip hop’s response to Feist’s “1,2,3,4”) and other standout tracks such as “Burning Bridges” “Uptown girl” and “Eye Know Something, which he performed at this year’s Vancouver Winter Olympic Games.

A Trinidad born and Toronto-raised musician, emcee and producer, k-os has been labelled as one of the most creative and intriguing artists in the hip hop realm and this multi-talented performer believes “Art should be like a comet. It should come out of nowhere and just smack people in the face” And his shows promise to do just that!
