Of the announcement, the duo each made their own statements expressing their thoughts on reuniting and their upcoming tour dates. Here’s what they had to say.
“Returning to the stage together is the most exciting way for us to thank everyone for 20 years of supporting Outkast. -Andre 3000 #Outkast20.”
