Report: Justin Timberlake & Jay Z Ready Stadium TourGuess who’s going on tour?! That’s right, if a report by our pals over at Rolling Stone is anything to go by, Justin Timberlake & Jay Z have joined forces to launch a 10 date Stadium tour this summer. All the details below… RS shares: “Justin Timberlake and Jay-Z are planning a major stadium tour this summer, sources involved in the negotiations tell Rolling Stone. While talks are still ongoing, the tour as currently planned would include 11 to 13 stadium dates.
Timberlake hinted Saturday on Twitter that something was in the works, writing, ”Big news coming after Justin’s Grammys performance.” According to the New York Post, Timberlake said, somewhat vaguely, on the red carpet before the Grammys, “We’re definitely going to go on tour . . . I don’t know how much I should say. . . . It’s going to be a lot of fun, I know that.”ThatGrapeJuice

Justin Timberlake & Jay-Z To Headline ¡®Wireless Festival 2013¡äIn recent years, the Wireless Festival has become one of the UK¡¯s most celebrated. It¡¯s super fitting, then, that this year organizers have tapped two of music¡¯s biggest royals to headline ¨C Justin Timberlake and Jay-Z. Full story below¡ A major coup for the two-day extravaganza, the announcement was made moments ago. Day one of the London spectacle (Friday July 12th 2013) will see Timberlake headline, while the likes of Frank Ocean, Trey Songz, Snoop Dogg, Miguel, and John Legend complete the bill. In main-eventing day 2 (July 13th), Jay-Z will be joined by Roc Nation prot¨¦g¨¦e Rita Ora, as well as Kendrick Lamar, Emeli Sande, Miguel, and Calvin Harris. The event¡¯s pairing of H.O.V and JT is undoubtedly a deliberate one and extends the duo¡¯s new creative partnership. Indeed, the two can be heard on chart smash ¡®Suit & Tie¡¯ and will also embark on a joint stadium tour in support of Timberlake¡¯s comeback album ¡®The 20/20 Experience¡¯. Reports suggest a new Jay-Z project could also be in the pipeline too ¨C which would make the rapper¡¯s ¡°return¡± and strategic partnership with Timberlake all the more understandable. Still, as an established touring juggernaut, it¡¯s entirely plausible that the mogul is simply stacking his coins while re-affirming himself as just that ¡ª a touring juggernaut. ************* Easily the best collective line-up Wireless has ever had, this year truly sees the show join the upper echelon of global festivals able to secure the A-List as well as a stellar supporting cast. We¡¯ll be there! Will you? Tickets go on sale on February 22nd. Click here to buy yours!ThatGrapeJuice

Watch: Justin Timberlake Performs ‘Mirrors’ On ‘Wetten, Dass?’Not in many years has there been as much hype for a project as there is for Justin Timberlake's comeback effort ‘The 20/20 Experience’. Due in stores on March 19th, the set has already been supported by major promotional slots on the Grammy Awards and the UK’s BRITs. Yet that isn’t stopping the former NSync’er from pressing on with an aggressive push for maximum exposure, with his latest stop being prime-time German show ‘Wetten, Dass?’. Watch below as the singer-actor rocks out to ‘Mirrors’…. Though markedly better than the BRIT’s showing of the song, this was still surprisingly bare for a JT performance. Think cereal with no milk. It’s oh so clear that, in an era where another Justin has the younger audience on lock, Timberlake has opted to cater to a (slightly) older demographic – which, from our vantage point makes a lot of business sense. Indeed, statistics show that in today’s recession ravaged industry the younger crowd are responsible for the bulk of $0.99 single sales, while the older crowd account for most album sales. And with the latter being where the real $$$ are made, it’s smart that JT is working the album more than any one song (see: not just performing lead single ‘Suit & Tie’). However… in serving up these conservative performances, it’s as if Justin has forgotten his foundation. He is, before any thing else, a Pop star, a Pop performer. Indeed, both with NSync and during his initial solo run, he was the main purveyor of the “MTV Dance” break – moments in music videos and performances that would truly “wow”. Now, judging by his stage offerings as of late, it’s like he’s going through the motions, while the masses applaud “just because”. And while in no way as tragic as the current predicament of his ex Britney Spears, such behaviour is rooted in a similar flavour of complacency. With major tours on the horizon, we hope Justin re-embraces what made him special and stops coasting by on hype. Because these toasty dry performances are not the business. ThatGrapeJuice

Justin Timberlake Retains Top Spot On UK Chart / Takes Jab At Kanye West ;D It’s the kind of press every artist hopes for ahead of an album release. Yet, for a certain Justin Timberlake, it’s a reality. The stage blazer’s latest single ‘Mirrors’ has held steady at the top of the Official UK Singles Chart for a second week, giving a major boost to its parent LP ‘The 20/20 Experience’. Due out on March 18th (and a day later in the US), the set has also spawned UK and US top ten in ‘Suit & Tie’. In other JT news, it seems he’s not letting Kanye West‘s recent critique slide. Details after the jump… In a blink-and-miss-it moment during his performance of ‘Suit & Tie’ on Saturday Night Live last Saturday, the former Nsync frontman switched up the lyrics, adding… “My hits so sick got rappers acting dramatic” See what we mean below at the 2.17 mark: While there’s no doubt who Justin’s referring to, one has to wonder if this is calculated promo banter with an old buddy or something a little deeper.

‘The 20/20 Experience’: Justin Timberlake Album Expected To Move 500,000 Units First Week For Justin Timberlake, life couldn’t get any sweeter. Returning to the Pop scene after a seven year hiatus with a warm acclaim rarely afforded to his contemporaries, the pressure on him to match heights scored by ‘Future Love Sex Sounds’ eased with the release of the # single ‘Suit & Tie’. However, if there was any doubt that the 'I Think She Knows' singer would be able to rival the success of prior releases with his new LP, 'The 20/20 Experience', today brought news that will no doubt put he and his installed audience at total ease. Find out why below… While it doesn’t hit stores for another week, industry sources have revealed that the album has generated enough momentum to move at least 500,000 units in its launch week- marking the biggest debut number since One Direction‘s ‘Take Me Down’ touched down with 540,000 units back in November. A testament to the strength of his brand, Justin is also on course to become the first solo male artist to sell 500k since Drake’s ‘Take Care’ hit the charts with 631,000. Kind of epic, considering the abysmal sales of his trend hopping counterparts who have struggled to move a tenth of these sales even with the benefit of Hot 100 successes. Source.

Is Justin Timberlake Prepping Sequel To ‘The 20/20 Experience’ For November?After a seven-year musical fast, Justin Timberlake looks set to bless fans with not one, but two new albums this year. The Pop maestro’s third studio LP ‘The 20/20 Experience’ isn’t even out yet, however fresh reports suggest it’s follow-up – a sequel – is being readied for a November release. Full story below… According to HHNM, the news came courtesy of Questlove in a post on Okay Player. Responding to a critical review of ‘The 20/20 Experience’ by a newspaper, The Roots star – who recently performed with Timberlake - wrote: “its constructive criticism
i will say the album is OVERLY ambitious. like a LOT of ideas crammed into one.
spoiler alert. 20/20 Vol 2 comes out in nov. (10 songs now…..10 songs later= 20 vision)”Realizing that his words had begun to funnel out to fans, he added: “friggin mofos done ran with this info snitching and nuts. this is why i really can’t eff with this site no more. back before social media i was all sharing treats and happy in our insular world. now mofos all using my position to get their blogs posting on. im going back to the shadows.”************ Clever marketing or contractual commitments? Who knows. Whatever the case, JT fans are seemingly in for even meatier treat come Winter time. Pending then, tuck in to ‘The 20/20 Experience’ when it hits stores on March 19th. ThatGrapeJuice
