Diving into the unexpected, André 3000, the legendary voice of OutKast, made waves with a rather unconventional tour announcement. Utilizing a routine visit to his dentist as the backdrop, the hip-hop icon dropped a bombshell: his solo debut album, “New Blue Sun,” will come alive on stage this summer!
In a quirky yet attention-grabbing video shared on Friday, André 3000 is caught in the dentist’s chair, undergoing a teeth scan. But it’s not just about dental hygiene; it’s about the music. With bold, white text overlaying the clip, the revelation hits: the New Blue Sun Live tour is set to ignite stages across the globe. Joining him on this musical journey are talents like Carlos Niño, Nate Mercereau, Surya Botofasina, and Deantoni Parks, all collaborators from his acclaimed album. However, André humorously notes that the lineup might just be a surprise package waiting to unfold.
The tour kicks off with a bang, commencing on the very day of the announcement with a trio of performances at the iconic Pappy + Harriet’s in Joshua Tree, California. From there, the musical caravan will traverse North America, Australia, and Europe, culminating in a mesmerizing finale with three shows at the picturesque Henry Miller Memorial Library in Big Sur, California.
Despite the buzz, tickets for this much-anticipated spectacle are yet to hit the shelves, keeping fans on the edge of their seats with anticipation.
Last year, when André teased his instrumental LP, the legendary Questlove couldn’t contain his excitement. Taking to social media, he praised the album’s “next level” tracklist, igniting a wildfire of anticipation among fans. Referring to the album as “good medicine,” Questlove lauded André’s departure from the norm, heralding it as a refreshing change in musical landscape.
As we gear up for this musical odyssey, it’s evident that André 3000 is not just reinventing his sound but redefining the art of tour announcements. Stay tuned for more updates and get ready to witness the magic of New Blue Sun Live!
