One of the reasons Outkast will be inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame soon lies in the quality and success of their album Stankonia. The RRHF induction actually coincides with the 25th anniversary of the release of this now classic album, so to practically celebrates both occasions, the band are coming up with a 25th anniversary deluxe edition of Stankonia.
The release date is set for October 31, 2025, via Legacy Recordings, and it will be a three-vinyl set packed with music and merchandise. The fans of the duo will particularly look forward to three new bonus tracks: “Speed Ballin’” (released on streaming platforms for the very first time); remixes of “B.O.B.” by both the Beat Bullies and Cutmaster Swiff; and the Goodie Mob-featuring “Sole Sunday.”
At the same time, André 3000 has prepared brand new cover art, and there are also unreleased photos taken during the album’s 2000 promotional cycle, a glow-in-the-dark poster, and deluxe gatefold packaging. The CD and vinyl versions of Stankonia are available now for pre-order.
For fans seeking even more Outkast merch, the duo’s teamed up with Ceremony of Roses for an exclusive merch drop on October 2nd. The limited edition drop includes tees with graphics taken from the original Stankonia photoshoot, a “neon-inspired Mount Rushmore-style graphic of Outkast,” and hoodies, caps, and posters. Fans will also be able to purchase all-new merch, including an André 3000-designed poster featuring an alternate Stankonia CD cover as well as hoodies and a corduroy cap. You can also pre-order everything via Outkast’s official merch store.
