Justin Timberlake Setlist 2026 — Songs, Order & Running Time
Justin Timberlake Forget Tomorrow World Tour setlist
The Forget Tomorrow World Tour setlist is built around the March 2024 album Everything I Thought It Was and runs across roughly 28 to 32 songs in a 120-to-140-minute headline set. The cold open tends to be Memphis or No Angels from the new record — production cues a quick walk-on with the Tennessee Kids already in position on the arena-bed end-stage and the warm-amber-and-neon-pink lighting state that defines the cycle's visual language. Selfish, the lead single from Everything I Thought It Was, lands inside the first four songs and is the cycle's first major floor singalong moment. The opening act stretches through Like I Love You and the choreography-heavy My Love to establish the dance line, with LoveStoned/I Think She Knows from FutureSex/LoveSounds typically slotted in as the bass-heavy first arena moment that pulls the entire bowl to its feet. The middle act moves to the runway extension that pushes Timberlake into the centre of the arena floor, anchored on Cry Me a River from Justified — the song's deep blue wash is the visual signature of the middle act, and the live arrangement extends the bridge into the longest single-song moment of the night — and Mirrors from the 20/20 Experience, with the studio version's eight-minute runtime trimmed to a five-or-six-minute live arrangement. The acoustic mini-set inside the middle act rotates between What Goes Around... Comes Around, Until the End of Time, Drown, and the occasional Tennessee Kids deep cut from the 20/20 Experience Volume 2 (Take Back the Night, TKO) selected night by night as the rotating audible slot. The back third carries the NSYNC moment that has become the structural centre of the cycle's audience moment — Bye Bye Bye is the consistent anchor and the song that turns the room from a Timberlake-solo show into a generational singalong, with Girlfriend or It's Gonna Be Me typically following as the second NSYNC cut on routings where the venue curfew supports it. The closing act builds through Suit & Tie from the 20/20 Experience, SexyBack as the cycle's defining mid-set floor moment, and the encore on Mirrors or Can't Stop the Feeling — the Trolls single from 2016 has become the universal-audience moment that pulls the family-section crowd into the singalong alongside the longer-tenured fans, and the song closes most dates on the Everything I Thought It Was cycle. Exact running order shifts night to night within those three acts, but the structural pillars — the Selfish opening run, the Cry Me a River centre-act anchor, the Bye Bye Bye NSYNC moment, the SexyBack back-third floor singalong, and the Can't Stop the Feeling or Mirrors encore — hold across every date on the run, and setlist.fm catches the exact running order after each show.

Does the Justin Timberlake Setlist Change Night to Night?
The core of the Justin Timberlake 2026 setlist — the singles and the staging — stays consistent across the tour so production cues work from night to night. Smaller changes (a deep cut swap, a city-specific cover, or an acoustic surprise) happen on some nights.
