Seriously, who wouldn't want this?
Everyone wants this, its just a matter of having Andre 3000 actually doing it....
Andre is too busy working on his Jimi Hendrix documentary.... give it another year or two and they'll be back.

OutKast for Coachella 2013!! This would be amazing!
Below are my favorite OutKast song lyrics:
Andre's verse from Da Art of Storytelling (Part 1)
Now Suzy Skrew had a partna named Sasha (Sasha), Thumper (Thumper)
I remember her number like the summer
when her and Suzy yeah they threw a slumber - - party
but you can not call it that cause it was slummer
Well it was more like spend the night
Three in the morning yawnin dancin under street lights
We chillin like a villain and a ***** feelin right
in the middle of the ghetto on the curb, but in spite
all of the bullshit we on our back starin at the stars above
(aww man) Talkin bout what we gonna be when we grow up
I said what you wanna be?, she said, "Alive" (hmm)
It made me think for a minute, then looked in her eyes
I coulda died, time went on, I got grown
Rhyme got strong, mind got blown, I came back home
to find lil Sasha was gone
Her mamma said she with a ***** that be treatin her wrong
I kept on singin my song and hopin at a show
that I would one day see her standin in the front row
But two weeks later she got found in the back of a school
With a needle in her arm, baby two months due, Sasha Thumper
It's like that now, you better go on
and get, the hump, up out your back now
It's about four, or five, cats
off in my 'Llac now
We just, shoot, game in the
form of story rap now (yeah)
It's like that now, it's like that now

Outkast is approaching that "never going to happen" category that is currently occupied by David Bowie, a Pink Floyd reunion, and a few other acts that have little-to-no chance of ever performing at Coachella. Andre 3000 apparently still lacks any desire to perform live, but still wants to do Gillette commercials and act. I expect to see Big Boi on the lineup though.
That being said, I cannot sign this thread enough in order to emphasize how much I would love to see Outkast headline.
I'm afraid you are right. OutKast is my most desired act to see at Coachella, and they have been my favorite group since seventh grade. That being said, Andre 3000 has absolutely no interest, and even if he did, it would be in favor of playing experimental new stuff and ignoring the classics. I remember reading an article years and years ago in high school (probably XXL or the Source, it was a strange time) about the future of the group, and even back then Andre said something to the extent of that the difference between him and Big Boi was [paraphrasing] "I will never play Player's Ball again in my life...he will play it every night for the rest of his life."
I get that artists should get to play whatever they want, but I'd hate it if what we finally got was a concert where they omit Rosa Parks/Skew it on the BBQ/ATLiens so Andre 3000 can do ten minutes of improvised scat singing. I don't think Big Boi will ever let that type of show happen, though, which is where I think the problem lies.
Regardless, the second I see that name on top of the poster, I will ignore any skepticism and geek out like a true fanboy.
I don't really see (m)any other Hip-Hop artists being headliners at this point. I'd be so down!
IT'S MY NEW COACHELLA 2013 MIX! 60 of this years artists in only 45 minutes!

Are we sure Andre and Big Boi even like each other anymore? They say they are still friends, but I'm beginning to have my doubts....
according to Big Boi, 3000 turned down a tour offering a million a show...not good news for us.

the fact that they're willing to work together speaks volumes about their current relationship. Especially the fact that they're reuniting on someone else's track.

Isn't that how they usually work? Thought I remembered hearing something about them very rarely being together in the studio when they lay down their parts.
