(July 17, 2008) Coca-Cola keeps the summer cool and makes it hot for teens across the country as it kicks off the six-city, invitation only 'Coca-Cola Refresh Your Flow Tour' featuring hip hop artist Lupe Fiasco today in Los Angeles.

Grammy award-winning hip hop artist Lupe Fiasco will bring his hits, 'Kick, Push' and 'Superstar' to lucky teens, ages 13-17, across the country for an exclusive, invitation only concert tour created by Coca-Cola North America. The 'Coca-Cola Refresh Your Flow Tour' opened yesterday at the Avalon in Hollywood and will travel to some of the hottest venues in five other cities including: The Electric Factory (Philadelphia, August 3); The Tabernacle (Atlanta, August 8); Park West (Chicago, August 17); LOVE (Washington D.C., August 21); and, The Filmore at Irving Plaza (New York City, August 29). Up-and-coming artist Karina Pasian will open the show.

'The 'Coca-Cola Refresh Your Flow Tour' continues Coca-Cola's tradition of connecting African American teens with something they love ' Coca-Cola and music,' said Yolanda White, assistant vice president, African American Marketing, Coca-Cola North America. 'Not only will each concert offer the teens an unforgettable musical experience, it will give each of them a taste of the Coke Side of Life ' a moment in time that is refreshingly optimistic and uplifting. And, by engaging an artist like Lupe Fiasco, they will be encouraged to live on the positive side of life.'
