FutureSex/LoveShow is Justin Timberlake's 2007 world tour in support of the album FutureSex/LoveSounds. The tour features a 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 aired September 3, 2007.[1] Currently, Justin has no plans to tour Asia.
The show will be by far Justin's most lucrative to date. As it's expected to gross in the region of $100 million including merchandise sales.[2]
The first 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 ended 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. Timberlake chose and asked Good Charlotte to be the opening act for the second North American tour, the band agreed to perform between August to mid-September. It was also learned that Timberlake was supposed to tour Salt Lake City, but the date never came to terms because of his commitment to the Video Music Awards. The last date of the tour was on December 6 at Dubai's Emirates Palace Hotel in Dubai, UAE. This was the only show of the tour that was not in the round, instead performed as a traditional end-stage show.
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.[3]
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.
