Billboard: ‘Ladies & Gentlemen, We Are *NSYNC’: Inside Justin Timberlake’s Historic One-Night-Only LA Concert

It finally happened.

Following all the rumors and cryptic memes last fall that led to an MTV VMAs appearance and a red-carpet group photo thanks to *NSYNC’s new song for the Trolls Band Together soundtrack, fans were left desperate for a live performance from the boy band. After all, it was a band that made its name with performative music videos, blockbuster stadium tours and iconic choreography, so when fans think “*NSYNC,” they think performance. Fans were clamoring for a full tour, sure, but they really would have settled for the band singing live together just one more time.

Well, on Wednesday night (March 13), we got that one more time. More than a decade after they last performed together at the 2013 Video Music Awards as part of Justin Timberlake’s VMA Vanguard Award medley, they once again hit JT’s stage, this time for a one-night-only concert at The Wiltern in Los Angeles ahead of the Friday (March 15) release of his sixth solo album, Everything I Thought It Was.

It all started with a trip down memory lane, when DJ Andrew Hypes played a series of hit Timberlake features, including Timbaland’s “Give It to Me,” Jay-Z’s “Holy Grail” and 50 Cent’s “Ayo Technology.” Justin had included this segment in his other two pre-release shows as well, at his hometown concert at Memphis’ Orpheum Theatre on Jan. 19 and his show at New York’s Irving Plaza on Jan. 31. Hypes had also played a handful of *NSYNC songs at those concerts, but on Wednesday night, when he dropped the first *NSYNC song — “Gone” from 2000’s Celebrity — the curtains opened behind Timberlake to reveal his four bandmates singing harmony on the chorus.

ROLLING STONE: Justin Timberlake Confirms New ‘NSync Single on ‘Everything I Thought It Was’ Track List

‘NSync fans might want to sit down for this one. After teasing a possible collaboration on TikTok last week, Justin Timberlake has confirmed that he has linked up with his former bandmates on a new track for his upcoming album Everything I Thought It Was. The new track is called “Paradise” and is the second to last song on the album.

In the cheeky TikTok video, a fan asked him to blink twice to confirm if ‘NSync is on a song called “Paradise,” and Timberlake pulled his sunglasses down to oblige.

“Paradise” marks the band’s second single that they’ve teamed up on recently, following “Better Place” from Trolls Band Together soundtrack — their first in more than two decades.

The band — Chris Kirkpatrick, Lance Bass, Joey Fatone, Timberlake, and J.C. Chasez — reunited at the 2023 MTV Video Music Awards to present the first award of the night, Best Pop, to Taylor Swift. It was the first time they had all appeared together publicly since they earned a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 2018.

Timberlake’s sixth studio album arrives on March 15 via RCA. It’s his first since 2018’s Man of the Woods. So far, the singer has shared two singles, “Selfish” and “Drown.” Beyond the ‘NSync collab, the 18-track set includes “Liar” featuring Fireboy DML and Tobe Nwigwe on “Sanctified.” The track list was revealed via Spotify, which is also hosting a countdown to the album’s release and where the album can be pre-saved.

The singer also embarks on his Forget Tomorrow World Tour this spring, which kicks off April 29 in Vancouver, Canada.
