Where to buy tickets, schedule, dates

We regret to inform you, Ms. Jackson, that this tour is happening.

After a long hiatus from performing — what felt like an eternity — André 3000 is back in the spotlight this year.

To start off 2024, the former Outkast frontman, now known for his experimental jazz flute work, surprised fans with a solo tour in support of his acclaimed debut solo album, “New Blue Sun.”

And he’s not stopping there.

From September to November, the 49-year-old will be taking the ‘New Blue Sun Live Tour’ across North America, performing at various venues with collaborators Carlos Niño, Nate Mercereau, Surya Botofasina, and Deantoni Parks.

This includes a show at Brooklyn’s BAM Howard Gilman Opera House on Friday, Oct. 25.

For those curious about what to expect, the Chicago Sun-Times praised “(Andre 3000’s) performance was a free-willed exploration of sound and a beautiful energy exchange with the audience that gave the room a palpable heartbeat” at a previous concert on the tour.

If this unique experience appeals to you, tickets are available for purchase starting today.

Fans can secure tickets for all upcoming shows of the ‘New Blue Sun Live Tour’ on platforms like Vivid Seats; official ticket sales begin on Friday, June 28.

Vivid Seats is a trusted secondary market ticketing platform, with prices varying based on demand.

They offer a 100% buyer guarantee for safe and secure transactions, ensuring tickets are delivered before the event.

André 3000 Set List

For those hoping to hear Outkast hits on this tour, you may be disappointed.

However, if you enjoy experimental jazz with long, unconventional song titles, this tour could be perfect for you.

Based on a recent performance in Los Angeles, here are four tracks André 3000 played:

01.) “That Night in Hawaii When I Turned Into a Panther and Started Making These Low Register Purring Tones That I Couldn’t Control… S*** Was Wild”

02.) “I Swear, I Really Wanted to Make a “Rap” Album but This Is Literally the Way the Wind Blew Me This Time”

03.) “Ghandi, Dalai Lama, Your Lord & Savior J.C. / Bundy, Jeffrey Dahmer, and John Wayne Gacy”

04.) “Dreams Once Buried Beneath the Dungeon Floor Slowly Sprout Into Undying Gardens”

Note: Setlist incomplete and out of order, and was mostly improvisational.

André 3000 New Music

In November 2023, André 3000 surprised fans with his first solo album, “New Blue Sun.”

Featuring eight vocal-free ambient jazz tracks, the album focuses on flute and woodwinds, offering a unique listening experience.

Although unconventional, the mellow sounds of the album grow on listeners over time. Tracks like “BuyPoloDisorder’s Daughter Wears a 3000® Button Down” and “Ants to You, Gods to Who?” stand out for their dreamy quality.
