Justin Timberlake is reported to be preparing a new album and an accompanying world tour for 2027, both under the banner The Next Move. That Grape Juice relayed the report on September 1, citing sources at Showbiz411. Nothing has been confirmed by the singer or his representatives.
The report follows an unannounced return to the stage in Miami, and describes the pop performer as beginning to assemble what is being billed as one of his most ambitious projects to date. The tour is said to be eyeing a March 2027 launch, and any album would be logged on the release calendar.
If it happens, the record would follow 2024's Everything I Thought It Was. That album had a comparatively quiet commercial run, though the tour attached to it did not.
The Forget Tomorrow World Tour shifted more than one million tickets before it was extended, which is the number that makes a second run plausible regardless of how the last album performed.
A full-scale return would also carry weight because of Timberlake's Lyme disease diagnosis. He said at the time that the condition caused significant pain and fatigue while performing, and that he was unsure what his future onstage would look like.
Until a label or a promoter confirms it, this is a single-source report rather than an announcement, and readers should treat the dates and the title as unconfirmed. Other pop touring plans logged here, such as Weezer's The Gathering world tour and Bad Bunny closing his world tour at home in Puerto Rico, came with named dates attached.
