Outkast Hit the London Eye!

They launch their album on the giant pod ride...

Outkast took over the London Eye last night for the launch party of their new soundtrack album.

The multi-faceted duo, who release the Idlewild LP on August 21, chose the popular London attraction as the platform to unleash the soundtrack album for the film of the same name which hits cinemas on September 8.

Guests, including MTV Newss own Tim Kash, enjoyed the panoramic views of the capital whilst they were played tracks from the album on the sound systems of the giant ferris-wheels 28 pods.

The official launch was then followed by a glitzy after party on a nearby 61-metre cruise liner, attended by both Andre 3000 and Big Boi.

Outkasts first single from the album, Morris Brown is set for release on September 4.
