The rap duo of Andre 3000 and Big Boi is still very much in high demand. After it was announced that they would be reuniting in order to perform at this year's Coachella festival, interest in the band was immediately reignited.

Someone on their management team has taken a note of that and today, OutKast announced on their official website that they would be celebrating their 20th anniversary with a string of over 40 appearances at festivals across the Globe.

This can't be anything else than great news for any fan of the band, but for the members as well since it seems to be something they have been looking forward to. “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!,” said Big Boi in a statement.

Andre 3000 couldn't hide his excitement either, “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.”

It still remains to be announced at what festivals exactly the band be making their appearances, but first they have to get through headlining Coachella in April. The only other announced performance was at this year's Governors Ball in New York City.
