Justin Timberlake Announces Man Of The Woods North America Tour
2018 might be nicknamed The Year of Justin Timberlake. The pop music singer-songwriter is expected to travel across North America to promote his new music.
The spotlight of this upcoming tour will be Timberlake's latest studio album, Man of the Woods. Timberlake has gone on the record stating that his fourth solo record will feature tracks that were inspired by Timberlake's wife, Golden Globe-nominated actress Jessica Biel, and their 2-year-old son, Silas.
Man Of The Woods
On Jan. 5, Timberlake broke the news regarding Man of the Woods on social media and Timberlake's fans retweeted the album's tracklist nearly 5,000 times and liked it over 19,000 times on Twitter. On Instagram, the tracklist was liked almost 415,000 times.
Sixteen of the tracks were focused on the countryside. The titles of the tracks included carefree phrases such as "Livin' Off the Land," "Breeze off the Pond," and the title track. Also, he added the initials of two of his duet partners on the album, AK and CS, next to their respective songs: "Morning Light" and "Say Something." Several fans deciphered that the initials belonged to both Alicia Keys and Chris Stapleton.
Timberlake is also expected to reunite with former The Voice coach and longtime collaborator Pharrell Williams for this project. Man of the Woods is scheduled to be released on Feb. 2.
A Super Bowl Teaser
Since Timberlake announced the album and dropped its first single: "Filthy," the "Mirrors" singer-songwriter has been slowly teasing what fans should expect from his new sound. However, Timberlake might give the whole world a tease of his North America tour when he takes over Minnesota's U.S. Bank Stadium on Feb. 4 during Super Bowl LII. Timberlake will make his third appearance performing at the National Football League's championship game's hallmark halftime show, but this is Timberlake's first time as a solo headliner. Timberlake has not commented if there will be any special guests at his halftime show.
The Tour Details
Timberlake is expected to kick off The Man of the Woods Tour on March 13 in Toronto's Air Canada Centre. He will return to the United States on March 18, where he will perform in Washington, DC. The tour will make pit stops in Chicago, Detroit, Los Angeles, Nashville, and Orlando. The tour is expected to conclude in Timberlake's hometown of Memphis, Tennessee on May 30. Timberlake and his team have not announced which acts would be joining him as opening act.
