To celebrate its 20th anniversary, [NSYNC](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/boy-band-bakeoff) will be hosting a 'The Dirty Pop-Up' in Los Angeles and giving fans the chance to get their hands on official pieces of merchandise from a [limited-edition capsule collection](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/throwback-collection). The name of the pop-up pays tribute to 'Dirty Pop,' a song from the boy band's 2001 album 'Celebrity.'

At the limited-time event, which begins on April 28th and runs until the first of May, NSYNC has teased that attendees will be able to get a glimpse of authentic props, wardrobe items and photos. For those who are unable to attend the pop-up in person, NSYNC will also be sharing apparel and accessory designs on its official online store.

Just last month, it was announced that NSYNC would be honored with a star on the [Hollywood Walk of Fame](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nike-football-x-lego) on April 30th.
