André 3000 has announced a first set of tour dates for his latest experimental flute album, New Blue Sun.
Last year, the Outkast rapper returned with a surprising new 87-minute project that saw him collaborate with stars of the jazz scene and create a quiet, experimental work.
Starting next week, he will embark on a series of tour dates across the United States. He will be joined at the shows by a number of his New Blue Sun collaborators, including Carlos Niño, Nate Mercereau, Surya Botofasina and Deantoni Parks.
Tickets go on sale today (January 24) at 10am local time and you can purchase your tickets here.

ssy rolls off the tongue far more easily than the real word vagina. Do you agree?' as well as the more poetic sounding 'Dreams Once Buried Beneath The Dungeon Floorly Slowly Sprout Into Undying Gardens'.
Elsewhere, André 3000 said a collaboration with SAULT was planned, revealing he spent time in the studio with the mysterious collective, while Ja Rule said he was “heartbroken” that André 3000 no longer wanted to rap .
