Earlier today the twitter handle @Outkast surfaced and announced that the Atlanta hip hop duo of Big Boi and Andre 3000 would be hitting the road this summer to celebrate the 20 year anniversary of their debut album Southernplayalisticadillacmuzik. Aside from a headlining spot at this year’s Coachella, the exact festivals have not been announced.
Outkast will return to the stage with a full festival run of over 40 dates to celebrate 20 years. #Outkast20 – Team Outkast

Although Big Boi and Andre 3000 have been active in their solo projects, we haven’t heard from Outkast since 2006’s Idlewild. Some might be wondering how this is EDM news and the answer is simple. Outkast is arguably one of the greatest hip hop acts of all time and their influence on pop and dance music is undeniable. Their tracks have been played by DJ’s world wide and they have inspired countless producers through remixes and acapella sampling.
This will surely put another layer of anticipation around this year’s festival season and we want to know, where do you want to see Outkast play this summer?
