The performance will take place at the US Bank Stadium in Minnesota on February 4 and comes 14 years after Timberlake’s notorious performance with Janet Jackson at Superbowl XXXVIII, which saw him accidentally rip her top to expose her nipples.
This year, the Superbowl halftime show was played by Lady Gaga, who began her performance on the roof of the NRG Stadium in Houston, Texas, before appearing to ‘jump’ inside the venue.
The Super Bowl Halftime Show is known for being one of the most highly watched global events every year, with last time’s show reaching more than 150 million people across the globe, including more than 80 million views.
Timberlake’s performance comes after Coldplay, Beyonce, Madonna and Bruno Mars, who all played the event in recent years.
