André 3000 Announces Full U.S. Headline Tour For This Fall
“New Blue Sun – Live In Concert”
Playing the Hobby Center’s Sarofim Hall – September 25
Praise for “New Blue Sun” Live
“As an album, “New Blue Sun” tends toward the curio — both endurance and Rorschach test. Live, the music was more forceful…more meaningful.” – The New York Times
“If you closed your eyes and immersed yourself in the music, it felt like a childhood dream of flying through space.” – Hypebeast
“The serotonin levels were going higher and higher with every chant and with every additional flute André pulled out. We were truly moving on a feeling, in step with André’s mission behind the album.” – Stereogum
“With no set list or agenda, the performance was a free-willed exploration of sound and a beautiful energy exchange with the audience that gave the room a palpable heartbeat.” – Chicago Sun-Times
“In the New Blue Sun era, he’s starting out from base camp once again. However far he ends up ascending, it’s a rare pleasure to join him on the path.” – NPR
“..an interactive, free-flowing, concert experience..” – Rolling Stone
