Andre 3000 Adds New Show At Brooklyn Academy Of Music

BROOKLYN, NY — Due to popular demand, legendary hip-hop artist Andre 3000 just added another date to his New "Blue Sun Live In Concert" series at the Brooklyn Academy of Music for October 26.

This special date will feature genre-bending musician Meshell Ndegeocello as the opening act, following her mesmerizing performance at Prospect Park last week.

The series is part of BAM's annual Next Wave festival, which features innovative, multi-disciplinary programming from visionaries including poet Hanif Abdurraqib, local actor and producer Modesto Flako Jimenez, trailblazing modern dancer Bill T. Jones, and more.

Andre 3000, known as one half of the trailblazing hip-hop duo Outkast, released his first new album in 17 years last November, called "New Blue Sun." The solo project focuses on spiritual jazz and flute music. The first song on the album, "I Swear, I Really Wanted to Make a 'Rap' Album But This Is Literally the Way the Wind Blew Me This Time," broke the record for the longest song to debut on the Billboard Hot 100.

Tickets for both performances start at $35 and are on sale now at BAM.org.
