Janet Jackson Announces Rock Witchu Tour

Janet Jackson has announced the launch of her Rock Witchu tour on the Ellen DeGeneres Monday. This is Jackson’s first tour in over seven years and is expected to feature the hit songs and innovative dance routines that have made her a celebrated artist.

The Live Nation produced tour kicking off in Vancouver, BC on September 10th, will feature dates in DC, New Jersey, Montreal, and Toronto to name a few and is expected to hit major markets as it travels across the country. Tickets go on sale for the first shows beginning Saturday, June 7th, and are available at www.livenation.com. Confirmed dates are listed below with more dates to be announced shortly.

Jackson’s Rhythm Nation 1814 tour was the biggest selling debut world-wide tour in history. The tour solidified her status as a trailblazing entertainer with cutting edge choreography, unparalleled stage production, theatrics and spectacles, winning over audiences across the board and breaking global box office records along the way. She wowed the world with over 100 performances in 90 cities. The first international shows were in Japan, where she sold out the Tokyo Dome (48,000 capacity) with four shows in seven minutes, creating the record for the fastest sell out in the history of the Tokyo Dome.
