Global superstar Justin Timberlake has announced he will be bringing his world tour to East Anglia. 

The 10-time Grammy award-winner will take to the stage at Chelmsford City Racecourse next year as one of only four outdoor UK dates in 2025. 

Tickets for the gig will go on sale at 8am on Friday and can be purchased online via Ticketmaster. 

The Mirrors singer is expected to perform a number of his classic hits during the concert. 

His world tour kicked off in April and the gig at Chelmsford will be the biggest ever single headline show in Essex with an audience of up to 25,000 people. 

Racecourse commercial director Nathan Holmes said: "It's incredibly exciting to be working in partnership with Cuffe & Taylor and Live Nation to bring Justin Timberlake to Chelmsford City Racecourse as a part of his The Forget Tomorrow World Tour.

“It's a landmark moment for the venue where we have sought to bring the biggest international acts to Essex and establish ourselves as the leading destination for live music in the South East.

“Everyone has done an exceptional job in pulling this together and we can’t wait to see the public’s reaction."

Cuffe and Taylor promoter Ben Hatton added: “Justin Timberlake is a true global star so to be announcing him as the first ever artist that we are taking to Chelmsford City Racecourse is quite a coup.

“This will be an amazing night that will live long in the memory for the people of Essex and beyond and we hope it is the start of an exciting new relationship with the team at the racecourse.”
