Outkast announce 20 year anniversary tour

It has been confirmed that 'Hey Ya!' hitmakers Outkast will celebrate their 20th anniversary as a musical act by performing a series of 40 live dates.

The group's Twitter page shared an update this afternoon, which unveiled the highly anticipated news, and read: "Outkast will return to the stage with a full festival run of over 40 dates to celebrate 20 years. #Outkast20 - Team Outkast."

In an official statement announcing the news, Big Boi explained that they're excited to be reuniting for the shows and happy to be creatively free to make the kind of music they're passionate about: "It's truly an honor to celebrate 20 years and still be free to do music the way we choose. 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!"

André 3000 added: "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."

Their first live date will take place at Coachella in April, which is held in California annually.
