*NSYNC kicked off the first show of their PopOdyssey Tour in Jacksonville, Florida on May 23, 2001 in support of their upcoming CD Celebrity. PopOdyssey is the biggest musical production in concert history. Yup, they've set another record. They opened the show with their latest single Pop after getting the crowd pumped with videos showing the band's rise to stardom. Then the fab five emerge from a "translucent pod" at the center of the stadium. The elaborate stage is made up of catwalks, conveyor belts and even elevators - this should make for an interesting show. You can also expect videos, fireworks, smoke, lasers and the guys riding mechanical bulls during their Space Cowboy set. Yippie-Yi-Yay!
