Justin Timberlake in Phoenix: Complete guide to his Footprint Center concert
Justin Timberlake’s Forget Tomorrow World Tour is an elaborate pop spectacle with all the high-tech bells and whistles that entails.
The concert ends with Timberlake suspended from the front end of a massive floating platform as it tilts into the crowd.
And yet, the qualities that ultimately elevated that performance when the tour played Footprint Center in Phoenix in May 2024 were Timberlake’s magnetic personality and a vocal range that hasn’t aged a bit since “Justified,” the decades-old solo debut that announced his arrival at 21 as the former teen idol most likely to succeed outside the context of his boy-band image.
That soulful falsetto has held up amazingly well and his dancing was just as impressive in a two-hour concert where Timberlake rarely stopped moving.
The tour returns to Footprint Center on Thursday, Jan. 23, 2025.
