It will be Timberlake’s first time taking the stage since 2004, when he shared the stage with Janet Jackson during Super Bowl XXXVIII. However, he did perform during Super Bowl XXXV.
Their performance erupted controversy after Timberlake ripped Jackson’s costume exposing her breast.
It led to thousands filing complaints with the FCC and Jackson being blacklisted.
It’s not known if Timberlake will have guest artist appearances during his halftime set.
Officials with the NFL expect to release more details about his performance at a later date.
