The Justified World Tour (also known as the Justified and Lovin' It Live) was the debut solo concert tour by American singer-songwriter Justin Timberlake. The tour showcased material from his debut studio album, Justified (2002).
Background In September 2003, McDonald's announced Timberlake as a new spokesperson for their "I'm Lovin' It" campaign. Timberlake recorded "I'm Lovin' It" to be featured in ads for the franchise, later expanded and released as a single in December 2003. McDonald's later announced they will sponsor a tour for Timberlake, following his successful North American tour with Christina Aguilera. Timberlake stated, "I love what McDonald's is doing with the new 'i'm lovin' it' campaign and it's cool to be part of it [...] We share the same crowd -- people who like to have fun -- and that's what this new partnership and my European concert tour is all about." The tour began with Timberlake playing intimate gigs at clubs and theaters in the United States and Australia before expanding to arenas in Europe. After select shows in the UK, Timberlake performed at local clubs and theaters following his performance in that city.
