He was a heartthrob of the 2000s. Now he’s back on tour and in Kansas City this week
The last show at T-Mobile Center in 2024 is bringing sexy back.
Pop superstar Justin Timberlake brings The Forget Tomorrow World Tour to Kansas City on Friday, Dec. 20, in support of his 2024 album, “Everything I Thought It Was.”
Timberlake hasn’t been on tour or visited Kansas City for five years, when he last hit the road for The Man of the Woods Tour. His latest tour began in June, shortly after Timberlake was arrested in New York over suspected drunken driving. He pleaded down to a lesser charge in September.
The Memphis native’s career spans over three decades, first starting as a member of The All New Mickey Mouse Club alongside Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera, Ryan Gosling and JC Chasez in 1993. He later joined Chasez in the boy band *NSYNC, which Billboard recently named the greatest pop act of 2000.
Timberlake’s career would skyrocket after *NSYNC after they disbanded in 2002, earning chart-topping albums and Grammy awards as a solo act. He’s reunited with the band on occasion over the years, most recently with the song “Paradise” from his latest album and “Better Place,” a song included in the animated movie “Trolls Band Together,” which stars Timberlake.
Fans can expect to hear songs from his latest album and past albums like “Justified,” “FutureSex/LoveSounds” and “The 20/20 Experience” during his performance.

What time will Justin Timberlake go on stage?
Justin Timberlake is expected to take the T-Mobile Center stage at 7:30 p.m., according to the venue. There is no scheduled opening act, but other tour sites have reported DJ Andrew Hypes goes on at 7:30 p.m. and Timberlake’s show begins around an hour later.
When do doors open?
Doors open at 6 p.m. for all attendees. If your cellphone provider is T-Mobile, Metro by T-Mobile or MINT, you can enter through the expedited T-Mobile gate on Grand Boulevard when all doors open.
The venue is cashless, so you can only buy concert merchandise with credit and debit cards or contactless payment methods, like Apple Pay.
Concertgoers with general admission tickets can start lining up at 11 a.m. outside of the T-Mobile Center’s Oak Street entrance, according to the venue website.
What is Justin Timberlake’s set list?
While Timberlake can surprise fans with different songs Friday, Ticketmaster shared the average set list on music streaming service Spotify. The set list features songs from his latest album and classics, like “Cry Me A River,” “Mirrors” and “SexyBack.”
What can and can’t I bring to T-Mobile Center?
T-Mobile Center does not have a clear bag policy, but the venue encourages fans to pack lightly when attending. Your bag should not be larger than 12” by 6” by 12”. Don’t bring backpacks or chain wallets.
These other items are not allowed inside:
Artificial noisemakers
Beach balls and balloons
Cameras with detachable lenses
Coolers and containers
Laptop and tablet computers
Outside food and beverages
Pocket knives
Selfie sticks
Spurs
Umbrellas with spike-like points
Any type of weapon, fake weapon or object resembling a weapon
Where can I park in downtown Kansas City?
Downtown Kansas City has plenty of parking available near T-Mobile Center. The arena offers on-site parking in the red lot at 12th and Oak streets and the yellow lot at 13th Street and Grand Boulevard, which is the KC Live! garage.
You will have to purchase passes to these lots in advance online. Both lots cost $20 before online fees. Event parking opens three hours before the concert.
Other than those, there are over 40,000 parking spaces in the downtown area. Many are paid lots, and street parking is available, though it may cost up to $40 during events like concerts.
You can also park farther away and take the free KC Streetcar to the stop 14th and Main streets, the closest to T-Mobile Center.
Where can I be dropped off and picked up for the concert?
Grand Boulevard and Oak Street in front of T-Mobile Center will be blocked off for the concert.
If you’re being dropped off by a family, friend, Uber or Lyft, they can take you as close to the 13th and Oak Street entrance as possible. They may also drop you off on streets that aren’t blocked off in the Power & Light District or farther away if walking isn’t an issue.
The same is true for picking up concertgoers after the show. Communicate with your driver so they can find you once the show’s over.
