Here Is Justin Timberlake’s ‘The Forget Tomorrow World Tour’ Setlist

Justin Timberlake just launched his The Forget Tomorrow World Tour with a show in Vancouver last night (April 29). Those planning to check out future stops of the trek might be interested in what the evening’s setlist looked like.

Per user-reported data from setlist.fm , the most-represented album in the setlist was naturally Timberlake’s latest, Everything I Thought It Was . After that, Timberlake most prominently pulled from the albums FutureSex/LoveSounds , Justified , and The 20/20 Experience . Timberlake stuck primarily to his own songs, but he did work a cover of Chic’s “Good Times” into the mix.

All in all, Timberlake played a whopping 29 songs, opening with “No Angels” and “LoveStoned.” The setlist also featured acoustic versions of “Selfish” and “What Goes Around… Comes Around.”

Find the full setlist below and check out Timberlake’s upcoming tour dates here .

Tour de France 2014: stage-by-stage guide, from Leeds to Paris

Stage 1 : saturday 5 july.

Leeds-Harrogate, 190.5km

As in 2013, a simple road race stage starts the Tour rather than a prologue time trial. Buttertubs and Gritton Moor would test a club cyclist but by the standards of the Tour this is relatively flat, with a few long drags over the moors, but not enough to split the bunch, although rain and wind could make life unpleasant if the British summer is in Wimbledon form. The script is for a bunch sprint won by Mark Cavendish in his mother’s home town, but Marcel Kittel could well get in his way as he did several times in 2013 and another German, André Greipel will be in the mix as well.

Stage 2: Sunday 6 July

York-Sheffield, 201km

This is far more serious. The Tour won’t be won in Steel City but one of the favourites could lose it here, as the series of short steep climbs and some abrupt, narrow and very technical descents – equally difficult, particularly if the roads are wet – will make for a demanding finale, where a crash or a puncture could be very costly. If there is a decent breeze it could all kick off on Holme Moss, 57km out, while the last climb up Jenkin Road is a steep little monster. It’s made for a specialist in “punchy” repeated climbs, like Movistar’s Alejandro Valverde of Spain.

Stage 3: Monday 7 July

Cambridge-London, 155km

Relatively short and definitely flat, with not one rated climb en route through Essex, but scenic villages aplenty like Finchingfield and Radwinter before the lengthy run-in past the Olympic park and across the capital to the Mall, replicating the finish of the 2012 Games road race. That was a bitter defeat for Cavendish, and he and his lead-out train face another battle with Kittel, Greipel and their team-mates. The fight between Cav and the up-and-coming German was a highlight of 2013; Kittel clearly had the upper hand and the Manxman will be out to make amends for his series of defeats.

Stage 4: Tuesday 8 July

Le Touquet-Lille, 163.5km

Another short, flat stage earmarked for the sprinters. Cavendish and Kittel again, for sure, but there is also a new generation of French fast men who will be worth watching. Arnaud Démare is under pressure to impress having ousted fdj.fr team-mate Nacer Bouhanni, multiple Giro d’Italia stage winner, after a dispute within the team. The decision will not look too clever if Démare disappoints. The joker in the pack is Bryan Coquard, like Cavendish a top track cyclist turned road sprinter, and like the Briton a small nippy racer who relies on leg speed and positioning in the pack rather than sheer power.

Stage 5: Wednesday 9 July

Ypres-Arenberg Porte du Hainaut, 155.5km

Like Sheffield, the Tour can easily be lost here, with nine of the celebrated cobbled sections that figure in Paris-Roubaix, the most coveted one-day race in cycling. The Tour hasn’t included this much of the cobbles since the 1980s; last time they featured in 2010, Lance Armstrong and Fränk Schleck were among the victims. The dangers are multiple: the pave sections are narrow and the poor surface makes falling or puncturing highly likely, and the continual crashes and punctures mean that team cars may not be in attendance because they tend to get held up. That means it’s vital to have not just the leader, but several riders alongside him at the front. That in turn makes for a hectic battle to get the best position at the head of the peloton before the sections begin; it’s like the run-in to a bunch sprint, so on some occasions – as with Iban Mayo in 2004 – a favourite’s Tour can end due to a crash before the cobbles have even begun. The first section, 68.5km from the finish, is Carrefour de l’Arbre, the key zone in the finale of Paris-Roubaix, so the jostling will start at least 15km before they get there. The only Tour winner of recent years to take on Roubaix is Bradley Wiggins, but in practice anything can happen and probably will.

Stage 6: Thursday 10 July

Arras-Reims, 194km

Back to the routine stuff, and after Ypres, the start is in another town that evokes the Great War. The script is well known: a breakaway group that is given a bit of a lead but is reeled in before for the finish, followed by a hectic last 10km. The finishing straight in Reims is slightly uphill, but the fast men will gobble it up. The only possible catch could be the wind. If it blows from the side and if there are tired legs and battered bodies after the stage over the cobbles, an enterprising team could try to spring a surprise as Cavendish’s Omega-Pharma did en route to St Amand-Montrond in 2013.

Stage 7: Friday 11 July

Épernay-Nancy, 234.5km

Up to the late 1980s almost every stage on the Tour was this length; nowadays six hours in the saddle seems like an aberration. The distance may tell, as will the fact that this marathon comes a week into the race and there are a couple of stiff little hills in the finale. That is propitious for a late attack – or for one sprinters’ team to try to burn off a rival who can’t climb quite as well – but it’s still hard to see beyond a bunch sprint led by Cavendish, Kittel, Démare and company, because after today the sprinters will be out of the picture until Stage 19.

Stage 8: Saturday 12 July

Tomblaine-Gérardmer La Mauselaine, 161km

It’s all about the final 20km, with three climbs including a stiff little pull up to the finish which should see the emergence of a select group of favourites, although the time gaps won’t be huge. It’s an intriguing stage, as the yellow jersey might well be up for grabs as well and that could affect the tactics late on in the stage. The first climb, Croix des Moinats, is a steady drag, but the second, Grosse-Pierre, is the toughest of the Tour so far – steep and narrow, not long, but long enough to whittle the pack down. As in Sheffield it’s a finish for Valverde, or Froome – or Alberto Contador.

Stage 9: Sunday 13 July

Gérardmer La Mauselaine- Mulhouse, 170km

A more typical stage through the Vosges this, with the Col de la Schlucht climbed from the start to split things up as an early breakaway forms, and then constant climbing and descending. The finish is some way from the top of the last big climb, the Markstein, so that could well mean the favourites are content merely to keep tabs on each other while some lesser lights who can climb get the green light to go for the stage and the mountains jersey – given the small volume of climbing in the Alps, a big points haul here will help anyone looking to win the polka-dots in Paris.

Stage 10: Monday 14 July

Mulhouse-La Planche des Belles Filles, 161.5km

The toughest of the three Vosges stages, with the same finish where Bradley Wiggins took the yellow jersey in 2012. The finish order on the desperately steep climb to this one-café ski station will create the hierarchy at least as far as the Pyrenees and possibly all the way to Paris. However, the run-in is very different from 2012 as the “Plank” is immediately preceded by the Cote de la Chevraire, a narrow climb 3.2km long with the final passage approaching 20% on very tight hairpins. Froome will be among the favourites for the stage win along with Contador and Valverde.

Stage 11: Wednesday 16 July

Besançon-Oyonnax, 187.5km

A hilly finale with a rash of third-category climbs in the final 50km means this is hard to predict. It could end up as a classic sprint stage, but is more likely to see either a breakaway last all the way to the finish – depending on who is interested in the various classifications after the three days in the Vosges – or possibly a bunch sprint where some of the less proficient climbers have been burned off by some concerted work from teams such as Cannondale, who might well be eying this one up for Peter Sagan, and could therefore look to dislodge the likes of Kittel and Cavendish.

Stage 12: Thursday 17 July

Bourg-en-Bresse- Saint Étienne, 185.5km

This stage into the former capital of the French bike industry isn’t quite as hilly as the day before, so is more likely to see the sprinters such as Cavendish, Kittel, Greipel and Démare fighting it out. There are two pure sprint stages in the Tour’s second week, so they won’t want to miss out on this one. Kittel’s four stages last year to Cavendish’s one suggested that the German has taken over from the Manxman as the fastest finisher on the circuit, and it should be clear by this point in the race whether Cavendish has regained the edge or is still playing catch-up.

Stage 13: Friday 18 July

Saint Étienne-Chamrousse, 197.5km

An intriguing stage where the likely scenario is for an escape to go clear early on while the favourites wait for the race to take shape on the penultimate climb, the little-known Col de Palaquit. This is steep, with five of its 10 kilometres at over 10%, and will whittle down the field before the finish. It’s a long ascent, where Lance Armstrong won a time trial on the Tour’s last visit. It’s the first really full-blooded mountain top finish of the Tour, so one for Froome or Contador – unless an escape with the likes of Pierre Rolland goes all the way – and it will show precisely who is going for the podium.

Stage 14: Saturday 19 July

Grenoble-Risoul, 177km

The only genuine Alpine stage of the Tour features one of the classic ascents, the Col de l’Izoard, a col which has more history than most thanks to the likes of Fausto Coppi and Bernard Thévenet. It comes before an uphill finish which is new to the Tour, at Risoul. The Izoard and the earlier Col du Lautaret offer a wealth of points for the polka-dot jersey, meaning the climbers will come out to play early on, while Froome and company will hold fire until the climb to the finish. A classic stage for a mountain breakaway specialist: Thomas Voeckler, or perhaps Rolland.

Stage 15: Sunday 20 July

Tallard-Nîmes, 222km

Cruelly, the organisers follow one of the hardest mountain stages with one of the longest flat stages, and one where the riders will bake in the heat of the Midi. The lack of climbing suggests this is yet another for Cavendish, Kittel and any of the other sprinters that have managed to make it through the previous 14 gruelling stages. But this area has a history of slightly freak results. If the mistral gets blowing, a Tour peloton can be split to bits, and if a break goes coming out of the Alps, the sprinters’ teams don’t always have the legs to control it at this stage of the Tour.

Stage 16: Tuesday 22 July

Carcassonne-Bagnères, de Luchon 237.5km

The Tour’s longest stage and not one typical of the Pyrenees with a protracted run-in to the mountains before three climbs culminating in the Port de Balès. For Froome or Contador or whoever is leading, it’s a day for controlling events, and trying to avoid a repetition of the derailed-chain episode on the Balès which lost Andy Schleck the 2010 Tour (until it was given back to him after Contador’s positive test for clenbuterol). An early break should dominate this stage which is made for a climber who can get in the move, get clear on the last climb, then stay away on the final descent, as Dan Martin did last year.

Stage 17: Wednesday 23 July

St Gaudens-St Lary Pla d’Adet, 124.5km

A short mountain stage of the kind Christian Prudhomme likes to throw in to ensure action from the gun. Three first-category mountains – typical short, sharp Pyrenean climbs – plus the hors-categorie ascent to one of the toughest finishes in the Pyrenees, should see the top men in the standings fighting out the stage win. St Lary is unremittingly steep so Froome and Contador will be in the mix for sure, also perhaps French starlet Thibaut Pinot, for whom the Tour will be a massive test after his flop last year. The stamina of old stagers such as Valverde could well come into play.

Stage 18: Thursday 24 July

Pau-Hautacam, 145.5km

This only gets truly serious in the final 70km with the Col du Tourmalet followed by the finish at Hautacam, 20 years after Miguel Indurain ripped the Tour to shreds on the 13km climb to the bleak ski station. Hautacam is longer but not quite as steep as Pla d’Adet, and favours a more powerful rider over a pure climber. Lance Armstrong clinched the 2000 Tour here, although the organisers won’t want to be reminded of that now. Expect the same riders as on the previous day to be in the mix, with every climber well aware that this is the last chance to gain any time before the long time trial on the penultimate day.

Stage 19: Friday 25 July

Maubourguet-Bergerac, 208.5km

Classic “transition” stage designed to get the race to the time trial start. It’s not super-demanding, and will be a final battle between teams which haven’t won a stage and don’t have a sprinter – and thus need to get in the day’s escape and make it stick – and any sprinters’ teams which have some strength left in their legs. In recent years this kind of stage has tended to go the way of the sprinters, so the smart money should be on whoever is left standing of Kittel, Cavendish, Greipel, Cocquard, and perhaps Démare. The overall contenders will hide to save their energy for the last big test.

Stage 20: Saturday 26 July

Bergerac-Périgueux, 54km time trial

Time was, the Tour would have three individual stages against the watch; this year, in the interests of open racing, this is the only one. Should be a stage of two halves, a race for the stage win between whichever specialists have hauled themselves all the way from Leeds just for this – Fabian Cancellara and Tony Martin are the names that spring to mind – and a battle for the podium. The only rider who can feature in both is Froome, and if he’s in the box seat he will be looking for the stage win. If he’s behind Contador or any other climber, this will be a dramatic showdown.

Stage 21: Sunday 27 July

Évry-Paris Champs Élysées, 137.5km

Last year’s final stage was historic, as it ended at sunset; this year’s makes history for a different reason. For the first time since 1988, the final day of the Tour will also feature a women’s event, La Course by Le Tour. It’s a major development for women’s cycling, and for the Paris crowd it’s a chance to watch the likes of Marianne Vos, arguably the best all-round cyclist on the planet at the moment, and the clear favourite for La Course. The men’s stage finishes later than in the past, around 7pm, and will be over the full circuit of the Champs Élysées, turning around the Arc de Triomphe.

YG Entertainment Family World Tour 2014

YG Entertainment have announced that they will be starting their ‘YG FAMILY – 2014 WORLD TOUR’.

The world tour is scheduled to start in Osaka on April 12 and 13, before moving onto to Tokyo on May 3 and 4. YG Family will then move onto Korea and China, but have not announced the dates for those shows yet.

Other artists from YG are also scheduled to take part in the family concert including Epik High and WINNER.

More dates from the family tour are yet to be announced but with so many of YG’s artists planning to release albums this year, the concert is a great chance for them to promote themselves.

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Rory McIlroy and Shane Lowry received a standing ovation at historic, creole French Quarter restaurant Arnaud’s on the eve of their final round at the Zurich Classic of New Orleans team event.

They also had the largest, loudest galleries at the TPC Louisiana, where the charismatic, 34-year-old McIlroy, had not previously played.

“He’s getting old, but he still moves the needle a little bit,” Lowry joked as McIlroy chuckled. “Rory brings a crowd and people love him and we’ve gotten a lot of love in New Orleans. We’ve had just the best week.”

McIlroy and Lowry won Sunday, beating Chad Ramey and Martin Trainer with a nervy par on the first hole of a playoff.

Trainer pushed a 6-foot par putt to the right of the cup to end it, with Lowry lifting a laughing McIlroy off the ground with a bear hug on the green.

“To win any PGA Tour event is very cool, but to do it with one of your closest friends — we’ve known each other for a long, long time, probably like over 20 years,” McIlroy said. “To think about where we met and where we’ve come from, to be on this stage and do this together — really, really cool journey that we’ve been a part of.”

McIlroy, of Northern Ireland, won his 25th PGA Tour title and first of the season. Lowry, of Ireland, claimed his third PGA Tour victory. Each walked away with about $1.29 million and 400 FedEx Cup points apiece.

“People have come out in the thousands to support us. It’s not lost on me how cool that is,” McIlroy said. “Every time I get to play in front of thousands of people, the little boy in me just thinks it’s so cool and so exciting.”

The Irish tandem closed with a 4-under 68 in the alternate-shot final round in windy conditions to match Ramey and Trainer at 25-under 263.

Ramey and Trainer began the day tied for 27th at 16 under and shot to the top of the leaderboard with nine birdies between the seventh and 18th holes. They tied the alternate-shot tournament record of 63, but then had to wait nearly three hours to see if their lead would stand up.

“That was to our advantage,” McIlroy said. “I feel for Martin and Chad a little bit. They played an unbelievable round of golf. To shoot 63 out there in those conditions in foursomes is super impressive.”

Trainer opened the playoff hole by pulling his drive into the left rough,. Ramey also yanked his approach left off the cart path and into the wall below the suites around the 18th green. Trainer then chipped short before Ramey finally got his team on the green.

“Obviously, golf is hard, and sometimes it doesn’t go your way,” Trainer said. “We did the best we could and had a chance, and that’s all you can ask for, really.”

Ramey said he and Trainer were disappointed, but stressed that, “There’s a lot of really good things to take from this week, and that’s what I’m going to do.”

Lowry narrowly missed his mark twice on the playoff hole, putting an approach in a bunker and then leaving a birdie putt for the victory on the edge of the cup.

But Lowry had come through when he had to on the final regulation hole, forcing the playoff with a short birdie putt on the par-5 18th, capitalizing on McIlroy’s deft lofted chip from the apron that stopped close to the pin.

Ryan Brehm and Mark Hubbard nearly made the playoff as well. Needing a birdie, they went long off the 18th green on their second shot. Hubbard’s chip up the back apron stopped short on the fringe, but Brehm still nearly sank a birdie putt, leaving the ball near the right edge of the cup as the crowd gasped. They finished third at 24 under.

Former BYU teammates Patrick Fishburn and Zach Blair, the leaders through three rounds, were still tied for the lead heading to the par-3 17th, only to make a double bogey after Blair’s tee shot landed right of the green and Fishburn chipped short. They wound up in a four-way tie for fourth at 23 under.

McIlroy and Lowry began the day two shots off the lead. They opened the round with Lowry’s tee shot into the woods on the right side of the hole, and they bogeyed two of their first three holes before beginning their charge on the seventh, where McIlroy made the first of four birdie putts over the next five holes.

McIlroy had two mis-hits down the stretch that could have been costly, leaving an approach shot well short of the green on the par-4 13th and hitting short into a fairway bunker on the short par-4 16th.

Lowry chipped to about 10 feet and McIlroy saved par on 13. On 16, Lowry found the left side of the green with his approach shot from the sand and McIlroy sank a right-breaking birdie putt to lift his team into a tie for first at 25-under.

“Being able to rely on each other a little bit, I think that’s what really helped us,” McIlroy said.

The Irishmen bogeyed 17 after Lowry’s faded tee shot landed in the gallery right of the green and McIlroy’s chip over the ridge of a bunker ran past the hole.

That meant they would have to have a birdie on 18 to force a playoff. They got it, starting with McIlroy’s clutch, booming tee shot into the water-lined fairway.

Before leaving the TPC Louisiana grounds, McIlroy and Lowry walked onstage while the New Orleans-based 1980s cover band The Molly Ringwalds was performing a post-tournament concert. The band gave McIlroy a microphone, and he serenaded the crowd, singing Journey’s “Don’t Stop Believin’.”

“The reason that Shane and I both started to play golf is because we thought it was fun at some stage in our life,” McIlroy said. “Reinjecting a little bit of that fun back into it in a week like this week, it can always help.”

A previous version of this story misidentified the band with which McIlroy sang at the Zurich Classic. The band was the Molly Ringwalds.
