Recently, pop princess, Janet Jackson, announced that she will be going on her first tour since 2011. This announcement has been met with tons of positivity as fans can’t wait to see Jackson in action again. After releasing her self-titled debut album in 1982, Jackson, like her brother Michael, has become one of the biggest pop artists to ever do it. Although she has been away from the scene for quite some time, Jackson’s fans have never stopped supporting her and it’s clear that many people have been waiting for this tour. With the first show of her Unbreakable Tour taking place in Vancouver, Canada on August 31st, fans only have to wait a couple of months until Jackson hits the stage. Here are 10 reasons to be excited about Janet Jackson’s new world tour.
She always puts on a good show

Just like her brother, the late Michael Jackson, Janet is an all-around entertainer who knows exactly how to get the crowd on their feet. With her track record, there’s a very good chance that you’re guaranteed to enjoy her performance.
New music
It’s been almost eight years since Janet Jackson released her last new album. In those years, many things in the industry have changed, and there have been plenty of new artists and new sounds that have come onto the scene along the way. However, diehard Janet Jackson fans have been waiting patiently for her to release new music, and it looks like that day has finally come. Along with the announcement of her tour, Jackson has also stated that she will be releasing music this year. Although there aren’t too many details yet about the new project, many fans suspect it will be titled Conversations in a Cafe, which is a hashtag she has been using recently on social media.
She will probably be coming to a city near you
With the announcement of her tour, Jackson’s team has also released the schedule of dates and locations. Although she will be starting off the first leg of her tour in Canada, Jackson’s United States dates seem to be popping up at all of the biggest cities, and also some you may not expect. With that being said, no matter where you are in the country, you’ll probably be able to catch one of Jackson’s shows.
She’s ready to revive her career
After being gone from the spotlight for nearly a decade, Janet Jackson is ready to give her career a second wind. Despite being gone for a while, Jackson’s loyal fan base has always been supportive and ready for her to pick up where she left off. Plus, now 49-years-old, Jackson has come a long way from the young woman she was when she first hit the scene. It’ll be interesting to see what she decides to do next.
Tickets are affordable
Each year, there are plenty of concerts that take place in the United States. However, sometimes the ticket prices simply aren’t affordable. No matter how much you love an artist paying a bunch of money for terrible seats just doesn’t seem like a good time. But according to reports, tickets for Janet Jackson’s shows will be starting at just $45 dollars, and the most expensive tickets will top out at $250. That provides a nice range for people who would like to see Jackson perform but don’t want to break the bank.
She’s coming back with a vengeance
In her absence, many people have wondered where she had gone and if she was ever coming back. Last year she announced that new things were coming, and this year she plans to deliver on the promise. Jackson seems to determined to reclaim her place on the pop throne, and remind everyone exactly why she is one of the greatest to ever do it. She may be nearing 50, but Jackson is definitely a timeless talent and she’s on a mission to prove it. If anyone has ever had any doubts about Jackson, they’re about to find out why she truly is ‘Unbreakable.’
She’s starting her own record label
Along with her tour and new album, Janet Jackson will also be launching a new record label. According to Jackson’s website, the label will be called Rhythm Nation. A statement on Jackson’s website said, ” With Rhythm Nation Janet Jackson becomes arguably the first female African-American recording artist to form her own record label. At Rhythm Nation Janet plans to offer a home to both new and established recording artists.”
She’ll be performing all of her hits
Sure the announcement of new music is exciting, but it will also be great to see and hear Janet Jackson perform some of her classic hits. With a discography that includes 10 albums, Jackson definitely has a wide selection of songs to choose from once she hits the stage.
She doesn’t tour often
Although Janet Jackson’s career has lasted for decades, unlike some other artists, she actually doesn’t tour that often. Over the course of her career, Jackson has only gone on six tours. With that being said, it’s important that fans take advantage of this opportunity to see her, because who knows when another chance will arise.
She’s Janet Jackson!
Although she has sometimes been overshadowed by her older brother, Janet Jackson has had an extremely impressive career and has several hits reach number one on the billboard charts. Many music fans will be jumping at the chance to see her an action, and rightfully so. She is definitely one of the living legends in the music business, who likely still has a lot of tricks under her sleeve.
