It appears that Andre Benjamin (Andre 3000) and Antwan Patton (Big Boi) just might reunite as the Grammy-winning duo Outkast in the coming future, according to Billboard. Outkast has unfortunately been on hiatus since 2007, which left people wondering what happened, but they could come together for the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival.
In addition to the festival in Indio, Calif. that will take place starting April 11, 2014, Outkast might continue a tour hitting up other events throughout the year. It's still up in the air, but it looks pretty good.
Billboard wrote: One source tells Billboard that there have definitely been 'some conversations' about Outkast reuniting, while another says it is 'all systems go' for Big Boi and Andre 3000 to end their hiatus next year. A rep for Outkast did not comment for this story, while reps for their current label home, Epic, as well as Coachella organizer Goldenvoice, did not respond to request for comment at press time."
It would be fitting to have a reunion at the desert festival, as many have done it before. In 2004 the Pixies got back together for Coachella, then there was Rage Against The Machine in 2007 and Pavement in 2010. As far as giant festivals go Coachella is a perfect place for bands to hit a huge audience in a short period of time. Earlier this year at the fest the Stone Roses and Blur made headlining appearances for both weekends as the only U.S. tour dates they scheduled.
