Will JT and Jay-Z be hitting up the MIA?

Last week, after Timberlake admitted "[Jay and I] are definitely going to go on tour" while walking the Grammys' red carpet, we here at Crossfade insisted: "These two dapper dudes gotta make a stop in Miami, right?"

And it seems as though Justin and Mr. Carter heard us. Because last night, Jay-Z revealed a dozen photos of the planned locations for his and JT's upcoming Legends of the Summer tour, including Miami's Sun Life Stadium.

UPDATE Timberlake and Jay just announced the dates too.
