We assume that by reading the headline you think that Justin Timberlake is the new artist with the big contract over at Live Nation, but in actuality the deal that he struck with Live Nation had nothing to do with his music, but only with his tequila brand. Last Wednesday Live Nation announced that Timberlake’s 901 Silver Tequila, a premium brand launched by the artist earlier this year, will be the new official tequila sponsor of the majority of Live Nation venues throughout the United States. Right now there are no details that go into the relationship between Timberlake and the ticket and event promoter other than this, however, you can’t help but to think that he’s one step closer to inking a major deal that would involve his touring. Keep an eye out for more on this to come.
