OutKast End Reunion Tour on High Note at Voodoo Music Fest 2014
Since its kickoff at Coachella in April, OutKast's festival-hopping reunion tour has secured its place in modern-day music history. While the trek's opening date in Indo, California came complete with special guests and props, Big Boi and Andre 3000 kept things relatively low-key for their closing date at Voodoo Music Experience 2014.
Staring five minutes behind schedule, OutKast seemed to have the entire Voodoo Day 1 crowd awaiting their grand arrival. Big Boi hit the stage wearing a red bandanna, blinging silver chain and a colorful sports jacket with the word "STANKONIA" plastered on the front. (The duo later pointed out that October 31 was also the 14-year anniversary of the day their hugely successful Stankonia album dropped.) Meanwhile, Andre came decked out in what has become his signature look this year: snow-white wig, white sunglasses and a puffy, black jumpsuit with some type of wise or witty phrase on it. Tonight's read: "i don't know what else to say."
OutKast mostly kept to the same set they've been toting across the country—though, the addition of "Dracula's Wedding" would have been very Halloween-appropirate—with a crowd that seemed super turned up for it all. Things kicked off with classic tracks like "B.O.B," "ATLiens" and "Skew It on the Bar-B." While there wasn't a ton of direct interaction between the two, the constant smiles they kept flashing at both each other and the audience proved the guys were more than enjoying themselves.
One special guest did make his way out: None other than Sleepy Brown, a member of OutKast's longtime producers Organized Noize. Brown laid down his silky vocals for four songs, including his and Big Boi's No. 1 hit "The Way You Move," which came during the MC's three-song solo portion.
