Mad Decent Block Party, amidst a spray of champagne, announces lineup featuring Outkast, Dan Deacon, A$AP Ferg, Chance The Rapper, Sleigh Bells, more

Before you begin reading this story, imagine a thousand champagne bottles arranged as an enormous wall in your midst. You stare at the champagne wall, frozen with awe or fear or some combination of emotions you cannot presently identify. Suddenly, each and every bottle bursts open, releasing an airborne flood of sparkling wine. Imagine this happening while you read this story.

The Mad Decent Block Party has announced its 2014 lineup. This time around, the tour features the likes of Outkast, Diplo, Riff Raff, Action Bronson, Dan Deacon, Chance the Rapper, A$AP Ferg, Fatboy Slim, Sleigh Bells, Run the Jewels, and many more. That said, it should be noted that every date on the tour has a different lineup, the full details of which can be viewed here. Now, let me save you a little time.

OUTKAST ARE PLAYING THE DENVER DATE. THAT IS THE DATE THAT OUTKAST ARE PLAYING.

A trailer for the tour can be viewed below. It, unsurprisingly, features a lot of partying. This is fair.

You have now drowned in champagne. Your soaked body appears visible once the last of the bubbly liquid has washed away. You are smiling and your thumb is raised skyward. What a way to go.
