Outkast will headline on Friday April 11 and 18; Muse on Saturday April 12 and 19; and Arcade Fire on Sunday April 13 and 20. Other major names include Queens of the Stone Age, Beck, Lorde, HAIM, Ellie Goulding, Pet Shop Boys, The Replacements, Skrillex, Calvin Harris, Neutral Milk Hotel, Lana Del Rey, MGMT, and a previously announced set by rock legends Motorhead.
Some of the many fine-print highlights include Solange, ZZ Ward, Blood Orange, AlunaGeorge and John Newman, along with noted veteran acts Dismemberment Plan, Superchunk, Fishbone, the Jon Spencer Blues Explosion and Preservation Hall Jazz Band.
But the buzz around the Empire Polo Club come April will surely have a lot to do with Andre “Andre 3000” Benjamin and Antwan “Big Boi” Patton, who put their Grammy-winning duo on hiatus in 2007 after scoring hits like “Ms Jackson,” “So Fresh, So Clean” and “Hey Ya!”.
