Coachella 2014: OutKast Reunite After Several Years
OutKast, the first-billed headliner of Coachella 2014, took to the stage on Friday night for the first weekend of the Indio, Calif., music and arts festival.

The rap duo didn’t disappoint their enduring fans, who’ve waited seven years for such a reunion. Among the old hits, OutKast performed, “Ms. Jackson,” “Hey Ya!,” “So Fresh, So Clean,” “The Way You Move,” and “Elevators (Me & You).” All told, the duo performed over two dozen tracks in a set that lasted nearly two hours.
Stage gimmicks included a massive translucent cube on to which images were displayed while Andre 300 and Big Boi rapped within. The duo also performed from a kitchen table – reminiscent of how they once came up with their raps. A taxidermy polar bear also made its way onto the stage Friday night.
Although OutKast is thought of as being one of the best hip-hop groups ever to hit music, the Grammy-winning duo struggled to fully connect with the audience during their first of many stops on their reunion festival tour.
“Do we have any lovers in the house?” Andre asked before he began his solo set. “I know we got some haters. Y’all stick out real strong.” After their last number, he said to the crowd, “I really appreciate y’all coming out. I know it’s kinda weird, 20 years later and s–t.”
Outkast is also headlining Governors Ball in New York City in June, followed by Chicago’s Lollapalooza in August in addition to several other major summer festivals.
