Justin Timberlake is to make his debut live UK appearance on July 13, ahead of the release of his second album FutureSex/LoveSounds, due on September 11.

The pop poster boy will play the Hammersmith Palais, London. Tickets are on sale now, and available from a 24-hour hotline: 0871 230 9866.

Timberlake's new album - the follow-up to 2002's Justified - features contributions from Timbaland, Rick Rubin and Snoop Dogg; its lead single will be 'SexyBack' (as previiously reported).

See you, screaming, down the front...

DiScuss: It's not his debut UK show, is it? I'm sure I met Dillinger Escape Plan over West Kensington one time, and they said they'd been to see JT the night before... as hard as that is to believe.

Damn.

I was about to get a ticket until I read that it's the same day as Animal Collective.

I don't have a ticket for that either though.

I don't think it's his debut live performance, he played some Mcdonalds sponsered shows back during the first album no?

'FutureSex/LoveSounds'?

Presuming this isn't a Kraut-rock concept album of futuristic robotic love-making music, seems like we're about to meet a Timberlake thinking it'll be easy just pretending to be Prince.

The London Superbowlarena? Yes. Maybe that was all mimed, this is actually live, with full band and stuff...

"It's not his debut UK show, is it?"

Dunno if this counts, but he came on stage with NERD at their MTV aftershow in Edinburgh a few years back.

Yup.
"sexyback"? hmmm...

yup

and he played with them at brixton a year or so ago.

saw timberlake do one of his own shows some time ago at the coronet, a late night thing after one of his earls court shows. he is AMAZING live. hard fact.

his new album

is out on vacuous pop soon.

i wish it was, i'd be minted! ;-)

it's definitely not his debut uk show either, he played some about 3 years back, or was it 2?

50 quid though... shocking.

ady

would someone tell him

that a live show isn't appropriate for his generic 'three-hit-singles-and-fifteen-identikit-ballads' that will make up repertoire?
Like that cunt who opened the mtv awards ages ago singing into a mirror and making it rain onstage, dullest shizzle i ever seen!

what

seriously, he's fucking entertaining live; don't know what he'd be like now, but when i saw him, the slush factor was extremely low. a lot of energy, a lot of fun, he delivered good pop songs with class & humour, and most importantly, did NOT do what britters did at her show - running her three best songs into a risible 'jazz medley'. fun, fast and to the point; exactly what a good pop show should be. as entertainers go, he's pretty fucking good.

i'd still not pay what they're asking now though. ludicrous.
