• Outkast will play 40 festival dates during 2014. Yeah. Forty.

    It started innocently enough. Outkast was confirmed last week as the headliner for the Coachella Music Festival in Coachella. A few days later, member Big Boi dropped via Twitter that the duo would also be playing New York City's Governor's Ball music festival. Now, a few days after the Governor's Ball announcement, the group has declared that it will be performing at more than 40 festivals around the world during 2014.
  • Coachella 2014 sells out in record time, no doubt thanks to Outkast reunion

    It's anniversaries galore during 2013-'14 for Outkast, the most renowned name to come out of the Atlanta hip-hop scene. It will be 20 years since the duo, consisting of Andre 3000 and Big Boi, released its debut Southernplayalisticadillacmuzik in 1994.

Sleepy Brown, while discussing his own upcoming new album, suggested during an interview that 'Dre and Boi may be planning new music to celebrate the anniversary of its debut.
