Justin Timberlake will perform during the interval of the 2016 Eurovision Song Contest Final on Sunday AEST.
He will perform his newest release “Can’t Stop the Feeling.”
Show Producer Sven Stojanovic  said, “This is a fantastic opportunity, we are very happy and excited that Justin Timberlake will perform his new song together with his band in our show. It makes it extra special that the Swedish songwriters Max Martin and Shellback have co-written and co-produced the song together with Justin Timberlake.”
“We are proud to welcome one of the world’s greatest artists! It is an honour and an inspiration to all of us”, says Martin Österdahl, Executive Producer for the 2016 Eurovision Song Contest.
The 2016 event marks the first time Eurovision will broadcast in the US, airing on the gay-themed LoGo cable channel.
The first semi final takes place early tomorrow morning Australian time, with Dami Im appearing on Friday morning.

Great news. Does that mean that next year a US singer will be in Eurovision just like Australia has been for the past 2 years.
No. But never say never.
Why?
See LoGo reference. EBU is looking to global markets.
It just looks like a big promotion for his new single and has nothing to do with Sweden or Europe. It changes the focus of the event.
Swedish songwriters… but it’s definitely a stretch.
(mind you, so is our presence!)
