Two of the best rappers alive, the sultans of spottieottiedopaliscious-ness, the original ATLiens have confirmed that they will reunite and go on tour in 2014.
Revolt TV was the first to confirm the news, stating:
“the reunion is currently set to exist solely in the live setting, with no new album plans in sight, for now.”
There were rumors circulating via Billboard that Outkast will be headlining Coachella 2014, which triggered the confirmation later today by the duo. Although headlining Coachella 2014 hasn’t specifically been confirmed, we can only assume that they will be on roster.
Billboard adds:
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 André 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’s been seven long years since Big Boi and André 3000 last collaborated on a track, and even longer since they’ve performed live together. News of their potential return is surprising (not to mention amazing), given recent rumors of André’s long-awaited solo album. However, 2014 does mark the 20th anniversary of the duo’s debut album.
