March 10, 2014

Kanye West and Jay Z, the hip-hop kings behind Watch The Throne, will reunite onstage for the first time in two years at SXSW this week, according to The Austin Chronicle.

In a surprise announcement, the diamond duo have been announced as the kickoff act for Samsung’s four-day concert series on Wednesday night at the Austin Music Hall. Mashable informs us that Samsung will distribute wristbands to owners of Galaxy devices, particularly those who have downloaded the radio service Milk Music.

Kanye is also one of the headliners of this year’s Bonnaroo music festival. Here are six very good reasons why you should go.
