Outkast Hint At Splendour In The Grass

Outkast have announced plans for a world tour of festivals in 2014 which makes an appearance at Splendour In The Grass in July very likely.

A Coachella performance by OutKast grew into two shows and then suddenly leaped to “over 40” during 2014.

Antwan “Big Boi” Patton and André “3000” Benjamin have announced that they will be on the road for most of the spring and summer playing at festivals around the world, starting with Coachella in April.

Big Boi said “It’s truly an honor to celebrate 20 years and still be free to do music the way we choose. Don’t just think outside the box, know that there is no box. I’m looking forward to rocking the stage with my Bro Ski and to all the fans – stank you smelly much, this is for y’all!”

André 3000 added “And imagine, all we wanted to do was rap! I am thankful to have been a part of a group that allowed me to explore anything that came to mind and have fun doing it. Returning to the stage together is the most exciting way for us to thank everyone for their 20 years of supporting Outkast.”

OutKast formed while both members were in high school in 1992. Two year later, they released their debut album, Southernplayalisticadillacmuzik and followed with a series of critically acclaimed works running up to 2003’s Speakerboxxx/The Love Below which became only the second rap/hip hop album to win the Grammy for Record of the Year (Lauryn Hill did it first in 1999 with The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill). Their last album was 2006’s Idlewild.

Festival dates will be announced in the near future.
