After more than two decades, iconic boy band *NSYNC has officially reunited, marking a significant moment in pop music history. The announcement of their comeback was a multi-faceted event that reignited excitement among longtime fans and introduced their music to a new generation.
The first hint of *NSYNC’s reunion emerged in March 2023 with the release of the trailer for the animated film Trolls Band Together. The movie, featuring Justin Timberlake as the voice of Branch, follows a boy band-centric plot, leading fans to speculate about a possible *NSYNC involvement.
Speculation turned into reality when all five members—Justin Timberlake, JC Chasez, Lance Bass, Joey Fatone, and Chris Kirkpatrick—appeared together at the 2023 MTV Video Music Awards. This marked their first public appearance as a group since 2013, fueling anticipation for new music.
On September 29, 2023, *NSYNC released “Better Place,” their first single in over two decades. The upbeat pop track, co-produced by Timberlake and Shellback, was featured on the Trolls Band Together soundtrack. The song received positive reviews and debuted at number 25 on the Billboard Hot 100, marking a successful return to the charts.
In March 2024, *NSYNC surprised fans by reuniting on stage during Justin Timberlake’s “One Night Only” concert at The Wiltern in Los Angeles. This performance included their new single “Paradise” and classic hits like “Bye Bye Bye” and “It’s Gonna Be Me,” marking their first live performance together in over a decade.
While there is no official announcement regarding a full-scale reunion tour, the group’s recent activities suggest a renewed commitment to collaborating. Fans worldwide are hopeful that this reunion will lead to more music and performances from the beloved boy band.
