Through an on air contest, 120 Timberlake fans nationwide will be flown in from across the country to Los Angeles for special access to the event. The event will include a live, nationwide 30-minute on-air radio and TV broadcast special, where Justin Timberlake will discuss the making of his upcoming album and perform live with his band.

In addition, the party will be recorded and televised on The CW Network the following evening, March 19 at 8 - 9 p.m. ET. The CW special will also include an exclusive eight minute world premiere of Timberlake’s new music video for “Mirrors.” An encore of the special will air Friday, March 22 at 8 – 9 p.m. ET.
The release party, station takeover and live stream are currently being promoted extensively by Clear Channel Media and Entertainment across its on-air and digital platforms. The album pre-promotion will culminate with a first-of-its-kind simultaneous two minute live roadblock on 850 Clear Channel stations introducing Justin’s new music and kicking off the album release party.
