Justin Timberlake is in town for the Toronto International Film Festival for the world premiere of the film Justin Timberlake + The Tennessee Kids. While the tickets are already pretty much sold out for all the screenings during TIFF, we were given confirmation last week that the film will actually be airing worldwide starting October 12 on Netflix.

The film follows the entertainer from behind the scenes of his 20/20 Experience World Tour after 133 shows and being on the road for 2 years, focusing on it's final stop at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas. Surrounded by the 25 band members of The Tennessee Kids and band members this documentary/performance film features moments from one of the highest grossing tours of the decade. Hey, that concert was pretty incredible.

The concert documentary Directed by Academy Award winner Jonathan Demme (The Silence of the Lambs, and produced by Emmy Award winner Gary Goetzman (Mamma Mia!)

The 20/20 Experience World Tour grossed $231.6 million with a set list that included Suit & Tie, Mirrors, Tunnel Vision ahhh...so many good ones! BRB I'm going back to my playlist.

And can you believe it's been 10 years since he brought "Sexy Back"?

So if you missed out on the actual concert you can now tell your friends you'll be spending a night with JT... and chill.
