Fans of the hip hop duo Outkast better brace themselves because the duo is taking the festival circuit by storm. On the heels of their 40 date tour , it’s been announced that Outkast will join the Foo Fighters, Jack Johnson, and Imagine Dragons for the Firefly festival.
The Firefly festival is one performance in addition to the forty concert dates that the duo promised that they would embark on just the other day.

“It’s truly an honor to celebrate 20 years and still be free to do music the way we choose. Don’t just think outside the box, know that there is no box. 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!”
