The Five *NSYNC Group Members: Where Are They Now In 2025? (Reunion Tour Update!)

Contents

The iconic pop group *NSYNC, a defining force in late 90s and Y2K pop music, continues to generate massive buzz, especially as their 30th anniversary approaches. As of December 22, 2025, the five core members—Justin Timberlake, JC Chasez, Lance Bass, Joey Fatone, and Chris Kirkpatrick—are each pursuing major individual projects while simultaneously fueling speculation about a full-scale return to the stage.

The biggest news revolves around a potential reunion tour, which has been in serious talks for months. While the group briefly reunited for the single "Better Place" (from the *Trolls Band Together* soundtrack) and a 2023 MTV Video Music Awards appearance, fans are clamoring for a full tour, and recent updates suggest four of the five members are ready to make it happen, even if the "Prince of Pop" is tied up with his own massive solo schedule.

The Complete *NSYNC Group Members: Biographical Profile

The group was originally formed by Chris Kirkpatrick in Orlando, Florida, in 1995.

The Latest: *NSYNC Group Members' Current Projects in 2025

While the group's hiatus officially began in 2002, the members have all carved out successful careers in music, television, and film. The year 2025 is proving to be a particularly busy one for the entire quintet, with major tours, Broadway runs, and new creative ventures taking center stage.

Justin Timberlake: The Forget Tomorrow World Tour Dominates 2025

Justin Timberlake remains the most prominent solo artist of the group, and his focus for 2025 is his massive "The Forget Tomorrow World Tour." This tour, supporting his latest solo album, has seen multiple extensions due to high demand, with many dates scheduled well into the new year. His commitment to this extensive schedule is the primary factor complicating a full *NSYNC reunion tour. Timberlake's solo career has been marked by Grammy Award wins and global success, distinguishing him as a major force in R&B-influenced pop music since the early 2000s.

Joey Fatone & JC Chasez: A Broadway and Musical Theater Focus

Two members are diving deep into the world of musical theater and Broadway, showcasing their vocal and acting chops in new ways.

  • Joey Fatone is making a significant return to the stage. He began a run in the Tony-nominated musical & Juliet on Broadway in January 2025, taking on the role of 'Lance.' Following his Broadway run, he is scheduled to join the North American Tour of & Juliet, reprising the role. This return highlights his versatility as an entertainer, moving from the massive stadium stages of the *No Strings Attached* tour to the intimacy of the theater.
  • JC Chasez has been busy working on a new "Frankenstein"-inspired musical, a major creative undertaking that marks a new chapter in his career as a songwriter and producer. Chasez, who was a key creative voice behind hits like "Tearin' Up My Heart," is exploring new artistic avenues. He and Lance Bass also celebrated the group's 30th anniversary in October 2025 with an Instagram Live stream, keeping the fan connection alive.

Lance Bass & Chris Kirkpatrick: TV, Producing, and Nostalgia Tours

The other two members have found success in television, producing, and keeping the nostalgia alive for the millennial generation.

  • Lance Bass is diversifying his portfolio. In 2025, he was named the Palm Springs Aerial Tramway tree lighter and is scheduled to participate in a panel discussion at SXSW 2025 focusing on chronic disease. Furthermore, he has joined the producing team for the musical Exorcistic: The Rock Musical. Known for his role as the bass vocalist and his public advocacy, Bass remains a highly visible pop culture figure.
  • Chris Kirkpatrick, the group's founder and countertenor, continues to embrace the 90s/2000s nostalgia circuit. He is a regular fixture on the "Pop 2000 Tour," performing *NSYNC's biggest hits alongside other acts from the era like O-Town and Ryan Cabrera, with dates extending into 2025. This tour provides a consistent way for fans to experience the energy of the boy band era.

The Million-Dollar Question: Is an *NSYNC 30th Anniversary Reunion Tour Happening?

The most exciting and fresh news for fans is the ongoing discussion about a major reunion tour to mark the band's 30th anniversary, which falls in 2025. The success of their 2023 reunion for the single "Better Place" proved that demand for the group is higher than ever, especially considering their legendary status alongside the Backstreet Boys as one of the two biggest boy bands of the late 90s.

Multiple reports indicate that four of the five members (Bass, Chasez, Fatone, and Kirkpatrick) are in serious talks to move forward with a large-scale arena or stadium tour. The possibility of a tour without Justin Timberlake is now a real consideration, as his extensive "The Forget Tomorrow World Tour" schedule presents a major logistical challenge.

However, the door is not entirely closed on a full reunion. The members have been seen together frequently, and there are rumors of the group having recorded new music, possibly even a track for a future Justin Timberlake solo project. Joey Fatone has publicly stated that a reunion tour is something the members are actively working on, expressing hope that it will happen soon.

The legacy of their major albums—*'N Sync* (1997), *No Strings Attached* (2000), and *Celebrity* (2001)—which produced iconic singles like "Bye Bye Bye," "It's Gonna Be Me," and "I Want You Back," continues to resonate. The potential for a 30th-anniversary tour, whether with four or five members, would be a monumental event in pop music history, giving fans a chance to relive the golden era of Y2K pop and see the group's incredible dance routines live once more.

As 2025 unfolds, fans are eagerly awaiting an official announcement. The fact that four members are actively pushing for the tour, combined with their individual commitments to the entertainment industry, suggests that the collective brand of *NSYNC is stronger than ever, proving that after three decades, there are truly "No Strings Attached" to their enduring popularity.
