Andre is back in full force and we are here for it.

One of the most surprising storylines surrounding hip-hop last year was Andre 3000's return to music. It was a feel-good moment as the 48-year-old legend came through with his first-ever solo album. While it was a little saddening for some to see him make a comeback on an ambient music album, it was a great listen. Tons of praise was showered upon Andre for going in a totally different direction and creating a unique experience with each track. So many fans liked it that Three Stacks is bringing the album across the United States.

Beginning On January 29, you can see him perform your favorites along with a host of talented musicians. Andre chose some unique venues to play at, such as churches, conservatories, clubs, lodges, and more. It will run until early March and a lot of his stops are multiple days long. Andre should bring out some big crowds, especially because he such an elusive name in music nowadays.
