Big Boi will hit the road this spring for the 45-city Shoes For Running tour in support of Vicious Lies and Dangerous Rumours - the 2012 LP from the Outkast MC. The tour - named after the Big Boi track "Shoes For Running" featuring Wavves - will feature Big's fellow Purple Ribbon All-Star Killer Mike opening and appearing with Big Boi. Both MC's have been doing one-off shows in preparation for the jaunt. Big is rumored to have a few surprise guests up his sleeve, including Wavves' Nathan Williams, Kid Cudi and fellow Atlanta rapper T.I. The tour will stop first in Tampa, Florida on March 23rd before kicking into full gear in the rappers' home state of Georgia on April 18th. This tour is the first U.S. tour for Big Boi in over two years. Scroll down for dates and venue information.
