LOS ANGELES — Rap duo OutKast is reuniting to headline the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival in April, ending a half-decade hiatus for one of hip-hop’s most popular and important acts.
OutKast joins Arcade Fire and Muse as headliners for the festival that plays over two weekends in Indio, Calif. Other acts scheduled include:
- Pharrell Williams
- Beck
- Queens of the Stone Age
- Lorde
- Pet Shop Boys
- Ellie Goulding
- Skrillex
- Cage the Elephant
- Lana Del Rey
- Motörhead
The reunited The Replacements also will appear.
Andre “Andre 3000” Benjamin and Antwan “Big Boi” Patton came out of Atlanta with a unique sound two decades ago and became one of rap’s top-selling and most-lauded acts, winning the Grammy Award for album of the year for double album “Speakerboxxx/The Love Below.” They have not released an album as OutKast since 2006’s “Idlewild,” a soundtrack.
The festival runs April 11-13 and 18-20. Tickets go on sale Friday, January 10.
