Tickets for Justin Timberlake’s May 23 Abu Dhabi gig are now on sale.

It will be the superstar's first UAE show in seven years. The concert, at Yas Island's du Arena, is part of the singer-cum-actor's The 20/20 Experience World Tour, which kicked off in Brooklyn, New York last November.

Timberlake’s previous gig at Abu Dhabi’s Emirates Palace in 2007 preceded a more recent influx of regular superstar appearances. Shows by world-famous pop stars were much more sporadic than they are today. He performed 19 songs at that last show, including the ‘N Synch pop ballad Gone and his solo club anthem SexyBack.

For fans of Timberlake, who won last year's iTunes' Artist Of The Year and No 1 top-selling album for The 20/20 Experience, it will be a much-awaited updated setlist; one that has already seen Timberlake perform over 30 songs.

Tickets range from Dh300 to Dh1,295 and are available at selected Virgin Megastores or www.ticketmaster.ae. Ages 21+ only.
