Justin Timberlake was arrested on Tuesday morning for allegedly driving while intoxicated, according to multiple reports. The pop star is currently on the road for his Forget Tomorrow World Tour, with shows in Chicago and New York in the next week. It is unclear at this time whether or not any upcoming dates will be impacted.

According to court records, Timberlake was observed “operating his vehicle in an intoxicated condition” at around 12:38 a.m. He driving a 2025 BMW and was stopped by police after allegedly driving through a stop sign and being observed failing to maintain his lane of travel. After being stopped, he told police he “had one martini and I followed my friends home,” but the officers said his eyes were “bloodshot and glassy“ and there was a “strong odor of an alcoholic beverage” emanating from his breath.
He refused a chemical test three times, and was placed under arrest. He was released without bail on Tuesday morning following his arraignment on charges related to the alleged intoxication, as well as being cited for running the stop sign and the lane violation. He has a court date scheduled for July 26, the same night of a scheduled show at Madison Square Garden in New York.
Timberlake has ten more shows scheduled for late June and early July on his current tour, with two shows each in Chicago, New York, and Boston in the next two weeks. Single shows in Baltimore, Hershey, PA, Cleveland, and Lexington Kentucky close this first segment of the tour out, assuming those are not postponed or cancelled in the wake of this incident.
As of Tuesday evening, all upcoming tour dates are still showing up as expected on venue and ticket sales websites, with numerous tickets available – including many surged with “platinum” prices despite the short time to the event date.
European dates on the tour begin in late July, with cities including London, Berlin, Copenhagen, and Amsterdam planned on the route. Timberlake’s tour is scheduled to then return to North America for shows in October through December.
