One of the biggest stories of 2014 has been OutKast reuniting to perform after remaining dormant as a group for several years. In what was largely regarded as a disappointment, André 3000 and Big Boi's first performance together at Coachella in April had loyal fans weary of what had become of their favorite rap duo. Luckily for all concerned, that wasn't the sign of their shows to come. Fast forward to this past weekend, which featured the Mighty O finally returning to their hometown of Atlanta for a series of once-in-a-lifetime blowout performances, fittingly titled #ATLast.
Spanning across three days and taking place in ATL's Centennial Olympic Park, the festival featured 'Kast in all their glory, weaving through their expansive library of well-known hits and deep cuts. Fans of all degrees were treated to arguably the most comprehensive and polished OutKast show ever performed.
In addition to delivering their own music, Big Boi and André curated an absolutely insane roster of opening acts and special guests, rivaling many of this year's major festival line-ups. Throughout the course of the weekend, those in attendance were treated to opening performances from Janelle Monáe, Future, Raury, 2 Chainz, K Camp, Childish Gambino, B.o.B, and Kid Cudi, to name a few. Additional appearances were made by Southern figures and OutKast collaborators like Sleepy Brown, Erykah Badu, 8 Ball & MJG, Pastor Troy, Killer Mike, Big Gipp, and Bun B. And that only scratches the surface.
In a recent interview with Billboard, André has echoed Big Boi, declaring there are no plans to create new music as a group. With only a few confirmed performance dates left, it would be a wise move to scoop a pair of tickets and catch what may be the last time to see OutKast perform.
