Outkast took to their official website to announce that they'll be celebrating their 20th anniversary as a musical act by performing at more than 40 festivals around the globe during the spring/summer of 2014.
"It's truly an honor to celebrate 20 years and still be free to do music the way we choose," Big Boi said, via statement. "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!"

"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.

The duo will kick off their tour of festivals, as a "marquee act," after they headline Coachella in April. Outkast will first reunite at the fest, being held over two weekends April 11-13 and April 18-20 in Indio, CA. They'll headline on the two Fridays.
