Yessss! The OutKast reunion has officially begun. They’ve announced a 40-festival tour for Spring/Summer 2014 in celebration of their 20th anniversary, starting with headlining at Coachella in April and NYC’s Governor’s Ball in June!

The prolific hip-hop duo has left fans aching since pursuing separate projects after 2006’s Idlewild , which went platinum.

2014 marks the 20th anniversary of their 1994 debut Southernplayalisticadillacmuzik , which went platinum and peaked at #20 on the Billboard 200 chart.

It was followed-up by four critically-acclaimed releases including 2003’s double LP Speakerboxxx/The Love Below , which went certified diamond and 11 times platinum.

As for a new album, entertainment mogul Queen Latifah , who used to manage the group, has stated that a new OutKast studio release is in the works.

“They’re doing movies and they’re about to work on a new album,” she told Howard Stern this week.

We’ll keep an eye on when more festivals and dates are announced. Enjoy the throwback below.
