Justin Timberlake will bring his new look to Phoenix this spring.

The former N*SYNC performer, reviver of sexy, and occasional actor announced that his outdoors-inspired Man of the Woods Tour will make 27 stops across North America in 2018. That includes a show at Talking Stick Resort Arena on May 2. Which means you'll have plenty of time to deck yourself out at REI (or not).

Supporting his new album Man of the Woods, slated for release on February 2, Timberlake's tour will follow his return to the Super Bowl halftime show on February 4 in Minneapolis. The Man of the Woods Tour will kick off in Toronto on March 13 and conclude in the artist's hometown of Memphis on May 30.
"The outdoors is the inspiration for a lot of these songs. That's the main idea. The tour will be able to bring the outside in. How can we bring that to life?" Timberlake says in the trailer for the tour. "I want people to see the inspiration for how it ended up sounding. I've never seen that done before: Bring the outside in."

Tickets go on sale to the general public on January 16 via Ticketmaster. Complete details are available on Timberlake's website.
