Justin Timberlake will host Saturday Night Live for the fifth time on 9 March.

The Suit & Tie hitmaker - who recently made his long awaited return to music following a hiatus to focus on his movie career - will also perform on the comedy sketch show. 

This is a busy time for Timberlake, who is preparing for the release of his comeback album The 20/20 Experience on 19 March.

He has also been confirmed to headline Wireless festival in the UK, along with Jay-Z, who he collaborated with on Suit & Tie. 

Rapper Jay will make his only European appearance of 2013 when he performs at the event, to be held at the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park in London on 12 and 13 July. 

Joining both artists on the bill are Snoop Dogg, John Legend, Frank Ocean, Rita Ora, DJ Fresh and Calvin Harris, with many more acts to be announced at a later date. 

Promoter Steve Homer from Live Nation said: "Wireless Festival has gone from strength to strength since its inception in 2005, we're incredibly excited to take it to its new home, London's iconic Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, and are delighted to secure Justin Timberlake and welcome back Jay-Z."
