Two successful years at SXSW later, the Free YR Radio campaign is ready to hit the road.
Created by Toyota Yaris, and Urban Outfitters, the campaign is intended to raise awareness and support for indie radio, and has seen the likes of Simian Mobile Disco, Dizzee Rascal, Klaxons, and Sonic Youth roll through for the parties.
This summer and fall will see another slew of dates and artists co-hosting concerts along with local radio shows, not to mention sweepstakes to win a brand-new Yaris, and some fundraising action. A benefit compilation is also planned, featuring tracks by participating artists, and proceeds will go towards, yup, support for the stations. All shows are free of charge, but pick up an e-ticket for entry at the campaign’s site.
