Big Boi coming to Jannus Live
Hot off the presses: One half of Outkast, Big Boi, is coming to Jannus Live.
The rapper will perform at the St. Petersburg venue on Sept. 3, which is good news for two reasons: (1) it's First Friday, and (2) it's Labor Day weekend. So you know the party will be brought, and brought hard.
Some of you might think Big Boi is the lesser half of Outkast, but we're not so sure. After all, he's the one who keeps popping up on single after single after single, and he's the one who just released an intriguing new solo album, Sir Lucious Left Foot: The Son of Chico Dusty. Yo, Andre 3000, in the immortal words of DeAndre Cole: What up with that?
Tickets will be priced at $27.50, and they'll go onsale soon. We'll update you when we have more info.

 Why would anyone voluntarily attempt to see 50 concerts at 50 different venues in a single summer? Jay Cridlin shrugged and thought: Eh, why not.
