‘NSYNC have reached outside of the singing group world for the opening acts on their upcoming Celebrity 2002 Tour, recruiting Smash Mouth and Ginuwine.
The raspy rockers and the sensual R&B singer are confirmed for the outing, though an ‘NSYNC spokesperson said it hasn’t been determined which artist will play which dates.
Smash Mouth’s spokesperson said the band will join ‘NSYNC on a string of Texas, Midwest and Northeast shows from March 19 to April 15. Ginuwine’s spokesperson was not available.
‘NSYNC will kick off the tour on March 3 in Portland, Oregon. The trek is currently slated to run through April 28 in Orlando, Florida, though more dates are expected to be added. ( from ‘NSYNC’s PopOdyssey Tour launch.)
