André 3000 is taking his flute on the road.
The Grammy-winning rapper announced Tuesday that he’ll embark on a tour to support his debut solo album “New Blue Sun.” The surprise album dropped in November.
He’ll be joined by “New Blue Sun” collaborators Carlos Niño, Nate Mercereau, Surya Botofasina and Deantoni Parks. The tour starts this month and includes four stops in Atlanta: Feb. 27-29 at Variety Playhouse and March 2 at Center Stage. Tickets go on sale Wednesday at 10 a.m. and can be purchased at axs.com.
The tour wraps in March in Los Angeles.
“New Blue Sun” was announced mere days ahead of its release. The eight-track LP debuted at no. 34 on the Billboard 200. “I Swear, I Really Wanted to Make a ‘Rap’ Album but This Is Literally the Way the Wind Blew Me This Time” — the album’s 12-minute-long opener — became the longest song to chart on the Billboard Hot 100.
