NEWS: Outkast's Big Boi Announces Auckland Show

On August 25th New Zealand audiences will finally bear witness to Big Boi, one half of Outkast and universally counted as amongst the most creative and admired voices in hip hop.

Big Boi has known immense commercial success, with Outkast selling over 25,000,000 albums - behind only Jay-Z, Tupac and Eminem on the all time list for hip hop artists - but he has never once deviated from the hazy, funk-and-jazz informed vision that he and partner Andre 3000 conceived 20 years ago in the United States’ deep South.

Now he brings his mesmerising live show to New Zealand, giving his many New Zealand fans a chance to witness the closest thing we’ll ever likely to get to an Outkast tour, with Big Boi playing cuts from both his own solo albums and Outkast’s infinitely deep back catalogue. Big Boi might well be the most consistently critically and commercially successful artist in rap history, and opportunities to get this close to a true legend don’t come along often.
