It's been a whirlwind couple of weeks for Toronto fans of Justin Timberlake. The pop star initially hadn't included Toronto when he announced his first Forget Tomorrow World Tour dates on January 26 (though he did include Vancouver).

After fans took to social media to cry him a river, Timberlake decided to bring sexy back to Canada's biggest city, announcing an October show at Scotiabank Arena alongside nine more Forget Tomorrow stops. Now, Timberlake has added a second Toronto date, responding to high demand.


Timberlake is preparing to release his sixth solo album, Everything I Thought I Was, and recently released the jealousy-powered single "Selfish," which debuted at No. 19 on the U.S. Hot 100 this week — his highest debut in six years — and was last week's Hot New Radio Track in Canada. (Though his accomplishments have been slightly overshadowed by some lingering Britney Spears drama.)

The Forget Tomorrow tour kicks off in Vancouver on April 29, and comes to Toronto on October 17 and 18. Tickets are available via Ticketmaster.

Another aughts star announced two Scotiabank Arena dates this week. Usher will be bringing his Past Present Future tour to Toronto on September 2 and 3. That tour kicks off this summer — but Usher has other performances to focus on in the meantime, namely an appearance at a low-stakes football game this weekend.

Pre-sale for the Timberlake and Usher tours is on now.

Ed Sheeran Addresses Controversy at First Show Since Openers, Backing Band Dropped Off Tour, Calls It ‘The Best Show of My Life’

Before his show in Philadelphia, Sheeran read a statement acknowledging the issue of Israel and Palestine, but still tried to keep things neutral.

Ed Sheeran needed to address the situation before he could start playing guitar. It wasn’t how he wanted to start his show, and he’s made it abundantly clear that the last thing he wants around him is controversy or, in his words, to be an “activist musician.”

But here he was, at the first show after his opener and friend Macklemore was kicked off the tour, following pressure by a group of venue owners led by Robert Kraft who took issue with Macklemore’s statement of support toward Palestine. That led to the rest of the tour’s openers and even Sheeran’s backing band for the tour dropping off the tour in solidarity with Macklemore — all of which became a huge news story and PR nightmare for the usually very un-controversial Sheeran. And though he had already made one highly scrutinized statement online while the news story was at its most potent, Sheeran felt the need to address the crowd at Philadelphia’s Lincoln Financial Field on Saturday night (Sept. 19) in person, before the show really started.
