Andre “3000” Benjamin is slated to bring his flute to the stage on Day 3 of the festival, May 27. Last year, Andre 3000 AKA “3 Stacks” surprised the music world when he finally released a solo album that the hip-hop audience had been requesting since his days in OutKast. The shock was that there were no Andre verses as he opted to debut an instrumental album featuring sounds from his flute. He will be playing songs from his solo album, “New Blue Sun.”
