I can't really reveal a lot of the gags that we are going to do, but it's going to be very entertaining and we are going to get very close to everybody in the audience'. Describing the stage, Lance Bass stated, 'It's amazing with the pyro and different things. These elements were the reason why the band opted to perform in stadiums and arenas instead of outdoor amphitheatres.

However, the stage included new elements including pyrotechnics, stage lifts and aerial suspension. Due to the closeness of their previous tour, the stage for this outing was very similar. Rehearsals began in April 2000 at the Lakeland Center in Lakeland, Florida. Proceeds went to the 'Justin Timberlake Foundation' and the 'Challenge for the Children Foundation'. Several tickets for the concert at Madison Square Garden and the Staples Center were auctioned off through Yahoo! Auctions. This was followed with the album selling over two million copies within the first week.

The tour became an instant success, with all 50 initial dates being sold out, selling one million tickets within the first day. The tour outing was sponsored by MCY Music and Nabisco. It was officially announced on March 21, 2000, the same day as their album was released, with rehearsals starting soon after. The tour was initially mentioned during an AOL group chat in late 1999, when band member JC Chasez revealed the group was already planning for their next tour.
