Justin Timberlake is set to kick off a 34-city, North American arena tour Jan. 8 in San Diego, with fellow pop singer Pink holding down the opening slot.
The outing--dubbed the FutureSex/LoveShow tour--follows Timberlake's August SexyBack Live Listening Sessions tour, during which he played clubs to advance his new album. Now he will return to arenas accompanied by a 14-piece band and back-up dancers who will perform in the round, according to his publicist.
"With the creative ideas that I've come up with, I think it's going to be an amazing show, definitely," Timberlake said in a recent teleconference. "The trick for me is to find a way to bring the vibe that we've created, myself and my band, with the club show to an arena. That's the trick. So that's definitely, you know, what I'm going after. Whether we can pull it off or not obviously remains to be seen."
On-sale dates will be announced locally in each market and dates for the complete worldwide tour will be announced shortly. A variety of premium seating packages will be offered for the tour.
Timberlake is touring behind his triple-platinum album "FutureSex/LoveSounds" and his No. 1 single "SexyBack." Co-written by Timberlake, the album recently produced a second single, "My Love," featuring T.I.
Shows start at 7:30PM, which means Pink will sing for 60-75 minutes approx., then 15 minutes for set change, then Justin will perform.
tickets are $52.50-$85.
