Justin Timberlake will play his first concert in four years the night before the Super Bowl, according to The Hollywood Reporter. The singer will perform his new single, "Suit & Tie," as part of "DirecTV Super Saturday Night," to be held February 2nd in New Orleans. 

The invitation-only event, a benefit concert for Shriners Hospital for Children, will also feature DJ sets from Questlove before and after Timberlake's performance. The concert will take place at DTV SuperFan Stadium in New Orleans.

Justin Timberlake Through the Years

Timberlake debuted "Suit & Tie" on the new Myspace earlier this month, and this morning released a lyric video for the song, from the singer's upcoming album The 20/20 Experience, which is due March 19th. The clip flashes lyrics on the screen while Timberlake makes himself correct in an array of well-tailored finer, sits at a piano and puffs on an enormous cigar during Jay-Z's guest verse.

The album will be Timberlake's first since FutureSex/LoveSounds in 2006. Since then, he's kept busy with acting roles in movies including The Social Network, Friends With Benefits and last year's Trouble With the Curve.

“All Along the Watchtower”

The Jimi Hendrix Experience | 1968

Jimi Hendrix got hold of Bob Dylan's early John Wesley Harding tapes and in late 1967 recorded a version of "All Along the Watchtower" with the Experience in London. Dissatisfied with that first development, Hendrix brought those tapes with him to New York in early 1968 when he began work on Electric Ladyland. Eddie Kramer, Hendrix's engineer at the time, told Rolling Stone that Hendrix "was still looked upon by his basically white audience as the mammoth black guitar hero. There was a constant fight within him to expand himself." Hendrix's successful take on Dylan's work has long been recognized by the songwriter. "I liked Jimi Hendrix's record of this and ever since he died I've been doing it that way," Dylan wrote in the liner notes to his Biograph box set. "Strange how when I sing it, I always feel it's a tribute to him in some kind of way."
