Justin Timberlake piles on more tour dates

Justin Timberlake has added new dates to his ever-growing tour itinerary in support of his No. 1-selling album "FutureSex/LoveSounds."

New shows have been confirmed for Buffalo, NY; Detroit; Rosemont, IL; Cincinnati; and Manchester, NH. Pre-sales for the newly added gigs will begin Friday (12/1) via Timberlake's fan club, and tickets go on sale to the public Saturday (12/2).

The outing--dubbed the FutureSex/LoveShow tour--follows Timberlake's August SexyBack Live Listening Sessions tour, during which he played clubs to advance his new album. Now he will return to arenas accompanied by a 14-piece band and back-up dancers who will perform in the round, according to his publicist.

"With the creative ideas that I've come up with, I think it's going to be an amazing show, definitely," Timberlake said in a recent teleconference. "The trick for me is to find a way to bring the vibe that we've created, myself and my band, with the club show to an arena. That's the trick. So that's definitely, you know, what I'm going after. Whether we can pull it off or not obviously remains to be seen."

The double-platinum "FutureSex/LoveSounds" spawned the No. 1 singles "SexyBack" and "My Love," featuring rapper T.I.
