Outkast announced that they will be celebrating their 20th anniversary as a musical act by performing at over 40 festivals this year.The tour will take place in the Spring and Summer and according to the performers’ website, the dates of the tour stops are yet to be announced.

“It’s truly an honor to celebrate 20 years and still be free to do music the way we choose,” said Big Boi. “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!”

“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,” said André 3000

Outkast fans have been waiting for the duo to get back together and will be excited to hear about the tour. According to rumors, Big Boi and Andre 3000 have not been allowed to work together because Andre’s label had issues with Big Boi. Apparently, these label politics have been put aside and the duo has reunited to give their fans an awesome show.

Outkast shared the news of their new tour on Twitter as well. The artists also recently announced that they would be headlining the annual Coachella festival in Indio, California.

Outkast will return to the stage with a full festival run of over 40 dates to celebrate 20 years. #Outkast20 – Team Outkast
