Officials at the Prudential Center are striving to provide updates to concertgoers after Justin Timberlake unexpectedly postponed his performance at the Newark venue on Tuesday.
Timberlake announced the postponement via Instagram shortly before the event was set to start, attributing it to “an injury that is preventing me from performing.” He expressed his disappointment in not being able to see his fans and promised to reschedule the show as soon as possible.
The Prudential Center is coordinating with Timberlake’s team to establish a new date for the concert, although no specific date has been confirmed yet. Ticketholders are encouraged to retain their tickets, and the venue will communicate updates via email regarding the event status or any new scheduling details.
The venue’s website advises fans to follow both Timberlake and the Prudential Center on social media for the latest updates and to watch for messages from their original ticket purchasing source.
On Instagram, many fans expressed their frustration over the late notice of the postponement, noting that they had already incurred travel costs and arranged for childcare in anticipation of the concert. However, others showed understanding for the situation, suggesting that Timberlake’s late cancellation could have been due to a last-minute injury or medical advice.
Timberlake is currently on The Forget Tomorrow World Tour, which launched on April 29 in Vancouver and has included over 50 performances across North America and Europe. His next concert is slated for Friday at the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia.
This tour has encountered challenges, with Timberlake facing legal issues after being arrested on suspicion of driving while intoxicated in Sag Harbor, New York, in June. He recently pleaded guilty to a lesser charge, resulting in fines and community service.
