Rap great André 3000 surprised everyone by releasing an excellent album of ambient flute music last year, and now he has joined the lineup of the TD Toronto Jazz Fest to perform New Blue Sun.
André 3000 will appear at Massey Hall on June 28. An announcement from the festival notes that he will be performing New Blue Sun — so don't expect him to do any rapping.
This will be the musician's first Toronto appearance in 10 years, since Outkast's last 2014 performance.
A presale begins at Massey Hall's website tomorrow (March 21) at 10 a.m. ET using the code "TOJAZZ." Tickets will go on sale to the general public the day after (March 22).
