Biografia
Originally showcasing textbook Southern style on their debut album ‘Southernplayalisticadillacmuzik’ they soon began to show just how broad their influences were. They began to incorporate elements of funk, soul and electronic music on subsequent albums ‘ATLiens’ and ‘Aquemini’ and as their popularity grew it slowly became clear how unlike anything else this duo was.
They became known for their outrageous fashion and general, Funkadelic indebted aesthetic, a clear departure to what many had come to expect from Hip Hop and what many felt were tired “Gangsta” clichés. This all culminated in what has become their finest moment, the release of 2003’s “Speakerboxxx/The Love Below”.
As well as spawning international mega-hit ‘Hey Ya’ the double album showed the increasingly fragmented personality of the act. ‘Speakerboxxx’ became Big Boi’s funky, ATL rap showcase whereas ‘The Love Below’ barely contained any Hip Hop, instead becoming Andre’s own personal RnB/Soul/Funk experiment.
The album sold millions worldwide however it gave clues to the divided nature of the duo’s makeup and in 2007 Outkast announced a Hiatus. The Hip Hop world felt a great sense of loss – the world needed Outkast to continually challenge the status quo and show them that anything is possible.
Thankfully in 2014 at Coachella festival, after years of hushed rumors, the dream came true for many and ‘Dre and Big Boi once again took to the stage. They have now been flying round the world playing a sold out tour and proving something we all worked out during their absence: There’s no one else quite like Outkast.

I literally thought my heart was going to explode. I was so freakin' excited to see Outkast live in concert. I have adored them for years. Their song "Hey Ya" will always hold a special place in my heart. Brings back awesome memories of my college days.
There were a sea of people, such a large crowd. But I was fifth row center and could see the entire stage without any issue. The guys came out in true rare form, which for Outkast is normal for them. We were already hyped up and we erupted in applause. I started to flail my arms around and dance and scream. Pretty certain I was transformed into a total teenage groupie that night!
"Rosa Parks", "Hey Ya", "Roses", "Ms. Jackson", "The Whole World"... Outkast took us back for a while before performing some of their newer stuff. They killed it. And the crowd was just awesome. I've attended other concerts where fear, shyness, or just an uppity attitude prevents people from getting up and really letting loose.
The Outkast fans are a group which supply a no-judgement zone. Everyone and I mean everyone was on their feet. Even saw an elderly woman at the show dancing the entire duration of the concert, even had her an Outkast t-shirt. I loved this concert so much. I just cannot say enough good about it. So hyped. Can't wait to see Outkast again!
