| Justin Timberlake concert chronology | |
FutureSex/LoveShow is Justin Timberlake's 2007 world tour in support of the album FutureSex/LoveSounds. The tour features a unique Theatre in the round stage, ten dancers, seven band members, and is a self-described "crazy light show" (as stated by Timberlake on his official MySpace page). P!nk supported Timberlake in the U.S, as did Fergie in some of the United Kingdom and Ireland venues. Unklejam were the support on the rest of the UK dates, while Natasha Bedingfield supported in the rest of Europe, and 50 Cent supported for just the Irish date. Timberlake's producer Timbaland has also made many appearances, performing his own DJ set in the 20 minute intermission.
It was announced in May, 2007 that Justin signed a deal with the HBO network to broadcast the concert and then release it on DVD. The Madison Square Garden date for the second North American leg of the tour was added for this reason by HBO. The concert was filmed on the night of the show, August 16, and will air September 3, 2007.[1]
Currently, Justin has no plans to tour Asia.
United States and Canadian Leg
The U.S and Canada leg of the tour went to thirty-five cities and featured Pink. It started on January 8, 2007 in San Diego, California and ends on March 29, 2007 in East Rutherford, NJ.
Timberlake was supported by P!nk for the original U.S and Canadian Leg. A second North American tour was also scheduled, beginning in August 2007 and running til mid-September. Good Charlotte is slated to be the opening act.
European Leg
The European leg of the tour began on April 24, 2007 at the Odyssey, in Belfast. The tour has 42 shows, in 28 cities and 8 countries. Justin performed the last of these shows in London on July 10, 2007.
Natasha Bedingfield was one of three high-profile support acts during the tour. After Kenna finished his stint on 8th May, she opened for Justin in Paris on 22nd May and ended her leg of the tour in Antwerp, Belgium, 21 dates later.[2]
Esmee Denters, the first artist to sign on Timberlake's label, was the supporting act during the show in the Netherlands on June 16, 2007, and in Belgium on June 27. The Dutch artist was discovered by Timberlake through Youtube.
Fergie supported Justin in the RDS Arena in Dublin on June 30. Special guest 50 Cent supported Justin for the second date at the RDS on July 1. This was announced at short notice as Fergie was scheduled to play at the Concert For Diana on the 1st in London. Also while in Ireland Justin announced that he would play a more intimate "Show After the Show" on July 1 at 1 am to 1,000 fans at Vicar Street, all tickets sold out in 4 minutes. This show, however, was cancelled due to "technical difficulties". Holders of these tickets were given general admission to Justin's RDS gig the same day as "special guests" Fergie was also present at the 02 arena in London, on 5 dates between July 4-10.
Oceania Leg
It has been confirmed by both Justin himself and radio station Nova 96.9, the Sydney station expected to present his tour, that he will bring his FutureSex/LoveShow tour to Australia and New Zealand in 2007.

Sexyback Dance Club
A limited number of tickets have been released which give fans access to a bar/club area around the stage known as the Sexyback Dance Club. There are two types of these tickets available; Seating and Standing. The seating tickets, 40 of which have put on sale per performance and which cost €380, give fans access to this club area as well as a seat integrated into the stage itself. The standing tickets give access to the same area without a seat and cost €120. 300 of these tickets were made available for each date. [3]
For the USA/Canada dates of Justin's fall tour these tickets were auctioned with standing tickets being sold for a minimum of $270 in Madison Square Garden, New York. For the Australian leg, standing tickets were around the $180, varying slightly in each city. The Auckland show is not in the round and hence the SexyBack Dance Club tickets aren't available.
