The fans of rock bands might not be eager on Friday evening to see Justin Timberlake as Headliner from Pinkpop. But anyone who feared a too slick dance show can breathe relieved; Timberlake focuses on his band.
Popfans are served at their beck and call on the first day of the festival in Landgraaf. The Belgian Pommelien Thijs warms up the audience in full sun with her sing -alongs, pop artist Mika brings a theatrical, nostalgic show and Tate McRae serves extensive choreographies with her recent hit list successes.
And then Timberlake has to start. The field for the main stage is quite full for the arrival of the American superstar, even though the festival is not sold out this year. His last real Solohit has been almost ten years ago. In 2018 he will be number 1 in the Netherlands for eight weeks with Can’t Stop the Feeling! .
The singer has not sat still since then. In 2018 and 2024 he releases albums, with slightly less hits success than before. Yet his tours are still going fast. In 2024 he performs three times in the Ziggo Dome. This world tour is still on the road, because around that time the singer is picked up for driving under the influence of alcohol. He reaches a settlement and does not miss performances.

Timberlake’s performance immediately starts with two of his greatest hits: Mirrors and Cry Me a River . While triumphantly strolling over the stage, he leaves large parts of the singing parts to his four background singers and asks the audience to sing along.

There will certainly be dancing, but he now does this with his background singers and singers. There is no question of Tiktok videos in which the passes of the pop star have been ridiculed in recent years. What he dances looks sleek.
Timberlake’s singing is a combination with his background singers throughout the evening, who may have sung more than he was. The many wind instruments in the grand, swinging band also regularly come to the fore. Timberlake itself also picks up a guitar here and there and occasionally takes a seat behind a keyboard.
Entire hit factory passes by
Timberlake is still on Tour to promote his album Everything I Thought it was released in 2024, but he only shows three songs of that album. The singer also realizes that the audience at Pinkpop mainly wants to hear the big hits. He therefore gets by far the most response to the aforementioned Can’t Stop the Feeling , but also tight pop hits sexyback and rock your body .
After the entire hit factory has been emptied, Timberlake surprises by closing with a soulful version of Until the End of Time , which even with the help of Beyoncé in 2007 did not really get a big hit. It is the only moment on the evening that the singer briefly drops his sunglasses and the audience can look him in the eyes. That immediately ensures more intimacy than the rest of the evening is the case. The smile on Timberlak’s face betrays that he still has a lot of pleasure to play those old songs.
