Beyonce & Justin Timberlake London Show Scheduled Before He Tours With Jay-Z
Beyoncé and Justin Timberlake are scheduled to perform together in London next month, right before she heads out on The Mrs. Carter Show world tour in April.
The pair is expected to liven up the stage together at The Garage in Islington on March 31, according to The Sun. The news was originally reported by the artist tracking website Songkick.com, which posted the announcement before it was ready, according to the report. However, the posting was taken down after other news outlets began spreading the announcement.
Beyonce appeared on a remix to a previous single of Timberlake's, Before The End Of Time. He famously spoofed her Single Ladies video on a Saturday Night Live shortly after she released the hit single. The pair reportedly spent time in the studio together as they worked on their next albums set for release this year. They also sat front row together with their spouses at the Grammys on Feb. 10.
Beyonce's husband Jay- Z joined Timberlake onstage at the Grammy Awards. They performed Timberlake's latest track Suit & Tie, the first single from his highly anticipated album. The 20/20 Experience is set to release in March.
Before their performance, Timberlake announced on the Grammys red carpet that he and the Watch The Throne rapper will join forces again on a U.S. tour.
"We're definitely going to go on tour," Timberlake said to New York Post. "I don't know how much I should say...It's going to be a lot of fun, I know that."
Although Timberlake didn't reveal who "we" was at the time, the news publication reported it will indeed be the Run This Town rapper. The report added that the artists will both play separate sets before performing duets for a 10-city stadium tour.
Beyoncé announced her own tour the day after she delivered an electrifying performance at the Super Bowl 2013 halftime show. Tickets went on sale on Feb. 11 but The Mrs. Carter Show world tour quickly sold out for the Northeast series of concerts. The tour is set to begin April 15 in Europe.
Beyonce will return to New Orleans' Superdome to headline one of three concerts during the 19th annual Essence Festival. Her HBO special Life Is But a Dream is slated to air on Feb. 16 at 9 p.m. EST. She will appear in the next episode of Next Chapter on OWN - which will also air Feb. 16 at 8 p.m. EST.
