American singer-songwriter Justin Timberlake has embarked on seven concert tours during his solo career, five of which have been worldwide and two of which have been collaborative.[nb 1] His 2003 debut The Justified World Tour began at intimate gigs at clubs and theatres in the United States and Australia before expanding to arenas in Europe.[1] In summer 2003, Timberlake and Christina Aguilera headlined the Justified/Stripped Tour.[2] Later that year he recorded a song "I'm Lovin' It", used by McDonald's as the theme to its "I'm Lovin' It" campaign. The deal with McDonald's earned Timberlake an estimated $6 million. A tour titled Justified and Lovin' It Live was included with the deal, following his initial Justified World Tour.[3] For the release of his sophomore record FutureSex/LoveSounds, Timberlake embarked on his second worldwide tour FutureSex/LoveShow in 2007, which eventually became the third highest-grossing concert tour of the year. During the tour, he visited Asia, Europe, North America and Oceania.

In 2013, Timberlake took part in his second collaborative tour, Legends of the Summer, in which he was co-headlining with rapper, frequent collaborator Jay-Z. The all-stadium tour that took place in North America[4] was praised by music critics, who highlighted the great chemistry between both artists.[5] It was followed by The 20/20 Experience World Tour, which became the second highest-grossing tour of 2014. This made Timberlake the highest-grossing solo touring artist of the year. The Man of the Woods Tour was Timberlake's sixth concert tour. It received positive reviews and concluded 2018 as the sixth-highest-grossing tour.[6] The Forget Tomorrow World Tour is Timberlake's seventh and most recent tour. It has also received praise from critics. Timberlake's televised performances include his debut at the 2002 MTV Video Music Awards, the controversial Super Bowl XXXVIII halftime show as a guest act, his comeback performance at the 55th Annual Grammy Awards, his medley number at the 2013 MTV Video Music Awards, several appearances on Saturday Night Live and the Super Bowl LII halftime show.

He also said of the show that Timberlake "Sang quite well... But he danced even better, and that's what turned the crowd on most of all. How he moved was at least as important as how he sang."[33] Chris Conde of San Antonio Current deemed it "an spectacle of undeniable talent... Even if you don’t like pop music, Timberlake's show was so rich in musicianship and showmanship that anyone wanting to say something bad would be hard-pressed to, ahem, justify a negative review."[34]
2018–19 The Forget Tomorrow World Tour April 29, 2024 – February 3, 2025 (Worldwide) 94 -
Timberlake embarked on The Forget Tomorrow World Tour in support of his sixth studio album, Everything I Thought It Was (2024). The Forget Tomorrow World Tour received positive reviews from critics. Reporter Stuart Derdeyn of The Vancouver Sun, stated "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 that "The Forget Tomorrow Tour puts Justin Timberlake back in the star chamber for sure."[35] The Seattle Times music writer Michael Rietmulder also gave the tour a positive review. He felt that "Justin Timberlake was in his element. Gliding, sliding and stepping across the stage like an air-walking Morris Day out in front of an 11-piece band and brigade of dancers during an opening “No Angels” on Thursday. [...] his star power, [...] is still bright enough to pack an arena — twice." He also credited Timberlake as being "One of this century’s most well-rounded entertainers, the classic song-and-dance man is cut from a cloth that doesn’t exist in the contemporary pop landscape quite the same way it once did."[36] 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."[37]
