Justin Timberlake Expands Tour

Feb 6, 2018 | 5:00 AM

Fresh off his halftime performance, Justin Timberlake has expanded his upcoming Man of the Woods tour. The tour will hit Europe and the U.K. starting June 22nd in Paris. The 16 stops include concerts in London, Amsterdam, Stockholm, Copenhagen and Berlin. JT has also announced a new fall leg of the tour, with 31 additional shows in the U.S. and Canada. Those new dates start with a September 19th show in Lexington, Kentucky.

In addition, the trek has now been extended into January of 2019. The tour begins March 13th in Toronto. Tickets for the new shows go on sale on different days, starting on February 12th. American Express Card members can buy them as early as this Wednesday.

Meanwhile, Timberlake followed his Super Bowl LLI halftime show performance with an appearance on a special edition of The Tonight Show, live from Minneapolis’ Orpheum theater, where he performed songs from Man of the Woods and joined host Jimmy Fallon for a segment called #Songversation. The pre-taped sketch consisted of the two having a conversation during which they suddenly broke into song.

Later J.T. sat down with Jimmy to talk about the halftime show, in particular his habit of flipping the microphone during songs, which he admitted was “a nervous tic on stage.” “I don’t know where I started doing that,” added Justin, but “I haven’t dropped it yet.”

Timberlake also discussed his Prince tribute during the halftime show, which drew complaints from some people who noted that Prince – a Minneapolis native – didn’t like posthumous tributes that use digital technology to create the illusion of performing with an artist from the past. “I just felt like I wanted to do something for this city and something for him that would just be the ultimate homage to what I consider the G.O.A.T. [Greatest of All Time] of musicians,” he explained.

Timberlake performed two songs from his new album. He opened the show with “Supplies,” and dueted with country artist Chris Stapleton on “Say Something” to close the show.
