All eyes were on Outkast at Coachella when André 3000 and Big Boi performed together for the first time in seven years. So it was only fitting that, like caged animals at a zoo, the hip-hop headliners started their set inside a cube that displayed nifty, ever-changing designs.


Big Boi and André 3000 also each had time alone onstage to spit out songs from their solo careers. Meanwhile, they sprinkled the set with cameos from Janelle Monae and Future.



"This is my favorite group in the entire world and what we are witnessing tonight is history — I am so honored, so I want y'all to scream for Outkast," Monae said after performing "Tightrope" (go to the 37:50 mark to watch) with Big Boi.


The hour-and-a-half show was the musical festival's most-tweeted about moment of day one, according to data Twitter provided to Mashable.
