Tour dates were announced the next day. Five days later, due to demand, six additional dates were announced. Dates for the fall were added later.

Show

Timberlake on Floating Stage

During a portion of the concert, Timberlake and his band the "Tennessee Kids" make their way through the audience to a smaller stage at the back of the arena floor, performing eight songs at the "B Stage", including the single "Selfish". The concert concludes with Timberlake performing "Mirrors" on top of a floating rotating stage. Held safe by wires attached to a harness at his waist and feet secured by straps to the deck, Timberlake rides the stage as it progresses above the crowd, turning from side to side in the arena. Toward the end of the song, as if bowing to the audience below, the stage angles forward in a way that tips Timberlake, his head extended well in front of his feet almost onto the audience below. John Taylor of the Las Vegas Sun described the stage as "Maybe four stories tall and 20 feet wide. It began the night as part of the main backdrop on stage. It later moved out from its original position just behind the singer at center stage, displaying various graphic designs and images of the singer. Later, it was lowered to where it hovered over Timberlake and his coterie of dancers as they moved through a song. [...] The floating stage literally was a show-stopper."

Commercial performance

In March 2024, prior to the tour launching, Complex reported that The Forget Tomorrow World Tour had become Timberlake's fastest selling tour to date. They stated that the tour had amassed over $140 million globally in initial ticket sales from over 70 dates and that more than one million attendees are expected. They concluded that "Justin Timberlake’s Forget Tomorrow World Tour Is Set to Become His Biggest Yet."

Critical reception

The tour has received generally positive reviews from critics. Reporter Stuart Derdeyn of the Vancouver Sun, who attended the opening date, praised: "If you were at the launch of Justin Timberlake's Forget Tomorrow World tour at Rogers Arena last night, you know you caught the best show the singer has ever played in Vancouver." And concluded the tour put Timberlake "back in the star chamber for sure".

The Seattle Times music writer Michael Rietmulder also gave the tour a positive review, remarking that Timberlake was in his "element" and credited him as being "One of this century's most well-rounded entertainers". Jim Harrington of The Mercury News praised the performance aspect of the show, stating that "Timberlake is nothing short of a marvelous performer, boosting great dance moves, plenty of charisma and star power, an ability to connect deeply with a crowd, solid comedic timing and a knack for showing his fans a good time." Despite being critical of Timberlake's music catalog, he concluded that "The fact that these mostly mundane numbers worked in the moment, and evoked so much excitement from the crowd, is certainly further testament to Timberlake’s prowess as a stage performer."

Las Vegas Sun editor John Taylor praised Timberlake's floating stage, in addition to his performance of the evening. He remarked the "floating stage literally was a show-stopper. As splendiferous as the final act was, the rest of the show was equal to the task." He concluded with: "The floating stage performance caps an unforgettable Justin Timberlake concert."
