Justin Timberlake is still one month away from his headlining appearance at Super Bowl LII, but he's wasting no time capitalizing on the returns. Borrowing a page from the Beyoncé playbook (sans the masterful element of surprise), he recently revealed plans to drop his new album Man of the Woods two days ahead of his Halftime Show performance. Shortly afterwards, he leaked the first single, "Filthy," along with tech-savvy visuals to match its electronic appeal. Now, he aims for the trifecta with the announcement of his Man Of The Woods North American Tour.
The 27-city trek will launch on March 13th in Toronto, Canada before heading to major U.S. cities like D.C., NYC, Chicago, Atlanta and L.A. Fittingly, the tour will close in JT's hometown of Memphis, the inspiration behind his "back-to-my-roots" approach to the album. The tour will reinforce this concept as he explains, "The outdoors is the inspiration for a lot of these songs....I want people to see the inspiration for how it ended up sounding. I’ve never seen that done before. Bring the outside in!”
A staggered pre-sale ticket release for the Man Of The Woods Tour begins January 10th, so be sure to visit Timberlake's website for early access. Speaking of early access, MOTW is currently available for pre-order ahead of its February 2nd premiere. Impatient fans can rejoice as JT has promised to release three additional videos with their own “individual style and color” every week beginning January 18th as a lead-up to the album’s release.
