Justin Timberlake fans, your time has finally come. Five years since his last major tour, the Prince of Pop is back on the road – and he’s in London for two huge shows. The first of those shows was last night, on Sunday August 11. 

JT’s Forget Tomorrow World Tour started back in April in Vancouver and it’ll end in the US in December. It’s in support of his new album Everything I Thought It Was, which was released in March and spawned hit single ‘Selfish’. The last time Timberlake came to London on a major world tour (The Man of the Woods Tour) was in July 2018, when he also did two nights at the O2.

If you’re planning on heading to the final night of Justin’s two shows this time around, here’s everything you need to know.

When is Justin Timberlake playing at London’s O2 Arena?

Timberlake’s two shows in Greenwich are on Sunday August 11 and Monday August 12.

Door times

On August 12 doors will open at 6.30pm.

The door (and set) times for the first date were earlier because the O2 has an earlier curfew on Sundays. It’s worth noting that you can get into the arena (but not the stage area) earlier, as the O2 opens at 10am.

What time will Justin come on stage?

Expect him to take to the stage by 9pm on August 12.

Reviews of Forget Tomorrow World Tour

There aren’t any professional critic reviews in yet for JT’s first London show. However, the Manc reviewed his Manchester concert at Co-op Live and described Timberlake as ‘a triple threat who can sing, dance and act’, saying that ‘the Prince of Pop’s still got it’.

The Telegraph has similarly given Timberlake rave reviews, awarding him four stars for last week’s show in Birmingham and saying that ‘the embattled popstar is an arresting entertainer’.

On X, users at the first London show last night (August 11) seemed pretty chuffed, with some getting selfies with Justin and another praising the stage production and crowd engagement.
