Justin Timberlake is hitting the road. And sooner than you may think.
Full story below…
Moments ago, the Pop force announced ‘The Man Of The Woods Tour’ in support of his fourth studio album – ‘Man Of The Woods’ (due February 2nd).
And would appear that the singer has paired preparation for the Super Bowl with rehearsals for the tour, because they start within a month of each other.
That’s right, JT will follow his Feb 4th Halftime showing by kicking off the arena trek on March 13th!

*********
Justin and his team are clearly playing no games with this roll-out. Each activation – from the album, to the Super Bowl, and now the tour – has been carefully managed to result in maximum impact come February/March.
On paper, this seems engineered to be one of the biggest releases of the year.
What can’t be pre-assumed, though, is the reception that will greet said music. Jury’s currently out on the mass response to lead single ‘Filthy.’ Will the remaining three cuts set to preceed the album change the tide in his undoubtable favor?
