*NSYNC’s Lance, Joey, JC, Chris
Considering Arena Tour Without Justin Timberlake

Four of the five members of *NSYNC are reportedly deep in discussions about orchestrating a long-awaited reunion tour for their fans — even in the absence of Justin Timberlake. This information comes directly from insider sources, as per TMZ.
According to insiders, Lance Bass, Joey Fatone, JC Chasez, and Chris Kirkpatrick are actively talking about their big plans to mark the 30th anniversary of the group, including a potential arena tour minus JT. They are fully aware that the fan demand remains incredibly high, with industry promoters optimistic that they could fill arenas even without Timberlake’s participation.
TMZ previously reported that the four members expressed enthusiasm about a lucrative stadium tour offer from Live Nation and AEG last August for a run in 2026. Despite the offer being extended to all five, Timberlake reportedly showed no interest, a decision made even before his Lyme disease diagnosis made headlines.
Currently, promoters are drafting plans for a four-member arena tour, convinced that the remaining trio could sell out venues across major cities. Should Timberlake change his mind and join, it could elevate the tour to a stadium level, boasting multiple dates to satisfy the fervent fanbase.
While these discussions continue among the four, there’s a glimmer of hope that Timberlake might eventually reconsider, leading to a complete stadium tour for fans desperately wanting the full group experience.
Fans are already buzzing about the possibility of a reunion tour. The excitement has been building since their appearances at the 2023 MTV VMAs, where they recorded music for a “Trolls” track, walked the premiere carpet together, and even surprised Timberlake’s L.A. concert audience on stage. Notably, they also caught a taste of the fervor during Coachella 2019 in Timberlake’s absence.
Adding to the frenzied interest, their iconic hit “Bye Bye Bye” experienced a resurgence as a global sensation once again in 2024 following its inclusion in the “Deadpool” movie soundtrack.
Stay tuned as this saga has the potential to tug at fans’ heartstrings in a uniquely delightful manner.
