Justin Timberlake has announced the much anticipated European and UK leg of his momentous The Forget Tomorrow World Tour – and he’s coming to Manchester.

The ‘Cry Me A River’, ‘SexyBack’ and ‘Rock Your Body’ hitmaker will perform live on stage at the huge brand new indoor music arena Co-op Live this summer.

Timberlake will tour at three UK arenas including Utilita Arena, Birmingham on August 7th, Co-op Live, Manchester on August 8th and The O2, London on August 11th 2024.

Co-op Live

Fans can expect to dance along to their all-time favourite Timberlake hits along with songs from his forthcoming new album Everything I Thought It Was such as ‘Selfish’ and his latest single ‘Drown’ out now. 

His sixth studio album Everything I Thought It Was will be out on March 15th.

Last month, Timberlake dropped his single and music video ‘Selfish’, which garnered over 57 million worldwide streams and over 14 million views on YouTube. 

The former Disney and NSYNC star also made a special musical guest performance on NBC’s Saturday Night Live, where he performed his single ‘Selfish’ and ‘Sanctified’, featuring Tobe Nwigwe.

Co-op Live

Throughout his career, Justin Timberlake has sold over 54 million albums and 63 million singles globally, and a further 70 million records as the lead vocalist of NSYNC.

He’s won ten GRAMMY Awards across the pop, dance and R&B genres, including his successful solo albums Man of the Woods, The 20/20 Experience, FutureSex/LoveSounds, and his debut solo album, Justified – as well as his collaborations with Jay-Z.

Co-op Live – Europe’s most sustainable music-first arena – is edging closer to its official opening in April this year, when a diverse range of global superstars will head to Manchester.

Expected to be the busiest UK arena opening season ever, Co-op Live will host 25 shows within its first month of opening.

A joint venture between Oak View Group and City Football Group and backed by pop-singer Harry Styles, Co-op Live has been designed to transform the live music experience for both artists and fans and is set to host some of the biggest acts from around the globe.
