Fans still hoping for a true *NSYNC reunion are going to have to wait a little longer. 

Speaking to PEOPLE on Sept. 13 at 90s Con 2024 in Daytona Beach, Fla., band member Joey Fatone said that given the five singers’ busy schedules, “we haven’t had that conversation yet.”

Justin [Timberlake] is finishing up his tour, I’ve been doing a bunch of things with AJ [McLean] from Backstreet Boys. So that’s been great.”

But, he added, “hopefully at some point when [Justin] is done with his tour, we’ll sit down and go, ‘What are we doing?’ and figure it out. I would love to have that conversation, whether yes or no — I just want to know. Just tell me so we can move on with our lives. Either say we had a good run and be done with it, or see what we can do.”

Meet the Kids of *NSYNC’s Bandmates

Elaborating one day later during a 90s Con panel with fellow boy banders Trevor Penick, Dan Miller, Erik-Michael Estrada and Jacob Underwood of O-Town, Fatone, 47, picked back up with the conversation, saying a second part of the question is whether or not *NSYNC would make new music, tour or both. 

“Everybody has families and relationships now,” he continued of the group, which also includes Lance BassJC Chasez and Chris Kirkpatrick. “It’s hard to get the five of us together and it’s a huge commitment.”

“However I will say the gears are in the right direction as far as the interest from everybody.”

US WEEKLY: Joey Fatone Forecasts What He’d ‘Like to See’ in a Potential ‘NSync Reunion Tour

There are no current plans for an ‘NSync reunion tour, but if anything changes, Joey Fatone has already drawn up ideas.

“The hardest part about that is, I think, we all [haven’t] had our brains together in a long time,” Fatone, 47, exclusively told Us Weekly at ‘90s Con on Friday, September 13. “All of us have probably different views, different points, different ideas, completely different things [to include] … now that we have been separated as a group.”

Fatone was a member of the iconic ‘90s boy band alongside Justin Timberlake, JC Chasez, Lance Bass and Chris Kirkpatrick. While the group split in 2002, they reunited 20 years later for the 2023 songs “Better Place,” commissioned for Timberlake’s animated film Trolls Band Together, and “Paradise.”

While dream-planning a potential tour, Fatone wasn’t sure how the men would create a set list.

“In general, would you wanna put the old hits out? Of course, that’s what we would do [and] that’s what I would like to see,” Fatone told Us. “That’s probably what would happen if we did go on tour, but I think for us to do it, it’s gonna be a collection of a lot of different things that we do.”

He continued, “If we happen to go on tour and if it happens to take place, people are probably gonna see something they’ve never seen before — and everything they’ve seen before.”

For Fatone personally, he’d likely add “I Thought She Knew” to the tracklist since it’s his No. 1 ‘NSync single to perform.

“It always was always my favorite,” Fatone gushed.

While Us fans can only dream of a future ‘NSync tour, Fatone is busy celebrating the band’s heyday at ‘90s Con.
