Earlier, Lance said that the quintet isn’t planning on a reunion tour, in an Entertainment Tonight interview. When the interviewer said that fans had been calling for a reunion tour, Lance replied that nothing was planned. Lance said that he was open to the idea. He acknowledged that the group was listening to their fans. I’ve told the fans that we have no solid plans at the moment, as we are waiting for the strike’s end. He told ET that they were shaping their future. “We’ve got a lot to do but we’re waiting for the strike to end,” he said.
Ahead of Lance’s interview, a report from TMZ said that they didn’t plan on touring, releasing an album, or doing a residency. Most recently, Justin appeared on The Kelly Clarkson Show on January 30, 2024, and confirmed that he and his pals have been working on new music together. “And also as it pertains to harmonies… I’ve spent some time with four other guys doing a lot of harmonies,” he said during the talk show appearance.
Also, they discussed their reunion in 2023. He told Kelly Clarkson that it was fun. It’s crazy. There are so many things that pick up where they left off in terms of chemistry. Justin also assured NSYNC’s fans that more music is on its way. Justin said, “We have been in the studio so there could be something coming up in the future.” Despite the exciting tease, Justin did not reveal if he and his bandmates will release a new album or if they will head on tour this year. Earlier NSYNC Reunions. While NSYNC split up in 2005, the boy band has gotten together on a handful of occasions over the years for both musical and non-musical reunions. When Justin earned the Video Vanguard award at the 2013 MTV VMAs, the group was part of his medley performance, singing “Girlfriend” and “Bye Bye Bye.” When the group was given a star on the Hollywood Walk Of Fame in 2018, they all got together for the ceremony and appeared on Ellen together. The group has also had a few occasions that they’ve had partial reunions. All of the members except Justin joined Ariana Grande on stage for her 2019 headline set at Coachella, where they sang her song “Break Up with Your Girlfriend, I’m Bored” and their own “Tearin’ Up My Heart.” In April 2022, Joey, Lance, and Chris gave an impromptu performance at Ryan Cabrera and Alexa Bliss’ wedding. When Was the Last Time NSYNC Toured? While there have been a handful of performances since the group split up, the boy band’s final tour was in 2002 to promote their album. The tour ended in April of 2002 and the group went on a hiatus. They never returned. In 2005, the members of NSYNC made their final appearance together at the “Challenge for the Children,” though they did not perform. The band did not tour together for over 20 years. Justin has toured as a soloist numerous times. In 2019, he was on the road for his The Man of the Woods Tour.
