During his concert in Los Angeles on Wednesday, Justin Timberlake performed with his *NSYNC bandmates for the first time in over a decade.
Per Variety, Timberlake has been hosting several concerts in the lead-up to the release of his new album Everything I Thought It Was, including shows in New York City and Memphis. At the Los Angeles show, which unfolded at The Wiltern, Timberlake surprised concertgoers with a boy band reunion for the ages.
As Timberlake's performance neared the end, the four other members of *NSYNC joined him onstage for a performance of “Gone.” The brief reunion also featured performances of their iconic hit “It's Gonna Be Me,” and the live debut of their new track “Paradise,” which is featured on Everything I Thought It Was.

After his bandmates left the stage, Timberlake joked that he was unsure of how to close the show after the showstopper. “I don’t know what to do after that but this,” he said, closing with “Mirrors.”
*NSYNC haven't performed together since the 2013 MTV Video Music Awards, just over a decade after they split in 2002. They reunited to present the Best Pop Award at the VMAs in 2023, and released Trolls Band Together track “Better Place,” their first new material since 2001.
Shortly after Everything I Thought It Was drops, Timberlake will be heading off on an extensive world tour starting with a show in Vancouver on April 29. The tour won't wrap until December.
