All five members of *NSYNC — Chris Kirkpatrick, Lance Bass, Joey Fatone, JC Chasez, and Justin Timberlake — are set to reunite onstage for the first time in a decade at the 2023 MTV VMAs Tuesday night (September 12th), Billboard reports.
The last time we got a proper *NSYNC reunion was in 2013, for Timberlake’s Video Vanguard Award medley; in 2019, all members but Timberlake joined Ariana Grande to perform “break up with your girlfriend, i’m bored” and “Tearin’ Up My Heart” during her headlining Coachella set.
Earlier this week, fans began speculating that *NSYNC would link up at the 2023 VMAs when Timberlake, Fatone, and Bass were all spotted around New York City. While that alone sounds like a bit of a stretch, there are also whispers that *NSYNC may have recorded new music together for the upcoming Trolls Band Together soundtrack. Posters for the film were put up around New York, featuring the “N” of *NSYNC’s classic logo, along with a QR code that lets you listen to a trolls-esque tune.
