“She still dances with the type of effortless, sweat-free ease that’s made her such a standout in all eras of her career,” Rolling Stone ‘s Brittany Spanos wrote in a review of the tour’s first Madison Square Garden stop. “Some audience members saw their muscle memory activate as they themselves imitated the video choreography that was inescapable on MTV so many decades ago.”

About Janet Jackson

Janet Jackson is one of the most influential entertainers of the modern era. Her music has won her 5 GRAMMY® Awards, 2 Emmy Awards, a Golden Globe Award, a nomination for an Academy Award along with dozens of American Music Awards, MTV Video Music Awards and Billboard Music Awards. She has received accolades as an actress as well including the NAACP Best Supporting Actor award. Janet is a published author, dancer, businessperson, philanthropist and one of biggest-selling artists in popular music history. With sales of over 180 million records worldwide, Janet Jackson stands as one of the best-selling artists of all time with a string of hits that have left an indelible impression on pop culture. She is the record holder for the biggest selling debut tour in history and is the first woman to debut in the Top 10 of the Hot 100 charts. She also stands as one of only four artists to have a #1 album for four successive decades alongside Barbra Streisand, Bruce Springsteen and U2. Even today she continues to make an undeniable impact. In 2018, her last single, “Made for Now” with Daddy Yankee, released by her own Rhythm Nation Records, hit #1 on the Dance Clubs Songs chart making it her 20th single on the chart in the span of her career. In 2019, she was inducted the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame alongside her brothers and in that same year her critically acclaimed Las Vegas residency, “Metamorphosis” closed out to record breaking ticket sales with only 18 dates at the Park MGM’s Park Theater. As reported by Billboard Boxscore, the legendary singer, dancer, songwriter, producer, and actress is among the biggest Vegas performers of this decade, ahead of Celine Dion (2011), Britney Spears (2013) and the Backstreet Boys (2017). Her critically acclaimed and award winning documentary “Janet Jackson.” brought in over 20 million viewers in one week. 

On February 4, 2021, Janet Jackson’s iconic mega platinum-selling third album Control turned 35. The album also returned to the top of the charts, hitting #1 on the Apple Top 40 US Pop Album chart. Led by five chart-busting hit singles — “What Have You Done for Me Lately,” “Nasty,” “Control,” “When I Think Of You,” —with their complementary, tightly choreographed music videos — and “Let’s Wait Awhile,” Control became Jackson’s first No. 1 Pop album. The album also made Billboard chart history for having the longest continuous run on the Hot 100 with singles from one album, ultimately tallying a remarkable 65 consecutive weeks from that perch. To date, Control has sold more than 10 million copies worldwide.

About Chris “Ludacris” Bridges

The career of the multi-talented CHRIS “LUDACRIS” BRIDGES can best be described as remarkable. As a recording artist, he has sold more than 24 million albums worldwide, thanks to the blockbuster success of such singles as “Stand Up,” “Get Back,” “Southern Hospitality,” “Number One Spot,” “Money Maker” and “My Chick Bad.” All of these records were accompanied by ingenious videos that demonstrated Bridges’ far-reaching imagination, and his willingness to stretch the boundaries of what rap videos should look and feel like.

With an unrivaled match of lyrical acumen, wit, and imagery, Ludacris has solidified himself as one of music’s premier entertainers. His versatility and artistic complexity also enabled him to make a seamless transition to acting, including the fan favorite role of “Tej” in Universal Pictures’ box office phenomenon Fast & Furious franchise where he was introduced for the first time in 2003 in 2 Fast 2 Furious.  He will reprise his role of “Tej” for the seventh time in Fast X, which is set to release May 20, 2023. 

His other notable feature film credits include Garry Marshall’s ensemble comedy New Year’s Eve, Ivan Reitman’s romantic comedy, No Strings Attached, Paul Higgin’s Crash which received an Academy Award for Best Picture in 2006 and Hustle & Flow which earned Bridges a SAG Award for Outstanding Performance by a Cast in a Motion Picture.  

As a father of four girls, his latest ventures fittingly include launching his educational platform devoted to the enrichment of children called “KidNation”.  In addition, Bridges created the animated series KARMA’S WORLD which launched in the Top 10 in 42 countries on Netflix, received two NAACP Award nominations and is already on its fourth season.  The series for children ages 6-9 is a coming-of-age story about a young Black girl finding her voice and using it to change her world — originally inspired by Chris’s oldest daughter Karma and based on the interactive educational website of the same name created by Karma’s World Entertainment in 2009.

A consummate businessman, Ludacris is enjoying success outside of entertainment. One of his most successful ventures includes opening his long-anticipated restaurant “Chicken-n-Beer” at the Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta Airport with a new location opening at LAX in 2023.  

Bridge’s philanthropic efforts rival his entertainment accomplishments. He started The Ludacris Foundation in 2001 which focuses on helping the youth in his hometown of Atlanta and has partnered with No Kid Hungry and Feeding America.

She also posted a sizzle reel on her socials.

The singer has been more visible in recent months than she has in many years, with an appearance inducting longtime collaborators Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in a ceremony held in Los Angeles last month.

She also made headlines with a Lifetime documentary on her life and career , which unpacked the indisputably unfair way she was treated in the wake of her controversial wardrobe malfunction at the 2004 Super Bowl. Jackson’s career suffered in the years that followed, while her co-headliner Justin Timberlake, who actually caused the malfunction, thrived.

The documentary, however, sheds little revealing light on its subject. “Fans will take heart that Jackson is presented here in her best light: That archival footage depicts a talent at the top of her game, and in the present day, she seems serene and happy, with tearful moments punctuating an overall sense of Zen calm,” Variety’s review reads in part. “For now, Jackson remains fascinating but enigmatic — a star about whom we’ll perpetually want to know more. And viewers will have known that before investing the time in a doc that can’t quite figure out its namesake.”

Janet Jackson Shares Dates for 2023 'Together Again' Tour: 'I've Missed You So Much'

The pop icon announced her return to touring on Monday, with Ludacris joining her for 33 stops across North America starting in the Spring

Janet Jackson is bringing new meaning to "Together Again!"

The pop icon, 56, announced Monday that she'll be hitting the road for the first time in nearly four years for her Together Again tour this Spring — named in honor of the 25th anniversary of her classic LP The Velvet Rope . The 33-date trip around North America sees Jackson touch down in New York, Los Angeles, Austin, Toronto, and beyond as she's joined by hip-hop heavyweight Ludacris as opening assistance.

"You guys, I miss you so much, I am so excited to see you," Janet said in an Instagram video revealing the news. "You guys have no idea, I've missed you so much, so much, and I can't wait to be with you. I'm so excited."

The tour — which kicks off in Hollywood, Florida on April 14 and closes out in Seattle, WA on June 21 – is Janet's first since her fall 2019 run of shows in celebration of the 30th anniversary of Janet Jackson's Rhythm Nation 1814 .

Before that, Jackson played her Metamorphosis Las Vegas residency that summer, and hit the road in promotion of her last studio album, Unbreakable , during the three legs of her State of the World Tour from 2017-2019.

The latest Together Again tour, named after her No. 1 single off 1997's The Velvet Rope , will also mark her 50th anniversary in entertainment and the 30th anniversary of her janet LP, according to a release. Tickets go on sale Dec. 16 at 11 a.m. local time, with a Citi cardmember presale beginning on Dec. 13 at 11 a.m. local time.

Last month, Jackson attended the 37th Annual Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony in honor of her friends Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis, who assisted Jackson throughout her career, first on her 1986 LP Control . Together with the production giants, the album spawned five hit singles: "What Have You Done for Me Lately," "Nasty," "When I Think of You," "Control" and "Let's Wait Awhile" — so it only made sense for her to pull up as the duo was inducted.

Elsewhere in Janet's discography, Jam & Lewis teamed up on "Love Will Never Do (Without You)," "That's the Way Love Goes" and "All for You."

Control , which turned 35 in 2021, returned to the top of the Apple Top 40 US Pop Album chart at the time. "I never, never in a million years, I would never think that this would happen. I really appreciate you and I love you so, so much. Thank you," Jackson wrote on Twitter.

As for new music to play on tour, while a release for the tour mentions "new music," the pop legend told Essence in their July/August issue that her focus at the moment was on being a mother. She welcomed son Eissa , 5, in January 2017 with ex-husband Wissam Al Mana.

"Even though it's something that I absolutely love, it still is my work, my job," she said. "There will be music at some point. Exactly when? I can't say just yet, but there will be. I love it too much not to do it. This is all I know. There's so much that I want to do — but my number one job is being a mama."

Breaking news, janet jackson reveals dates, opening act for 2023 ‘together again’ tour.

Janet Jackson is ready to hit the road again.

The musical icon announced dates for her “Together Again” tour next year — her first since 2019.

“You guys, I miss you so much, I am so excited to see you,” she gushed in an Instagram video on Monday about the news.

“You guys have no idea, I’ve missed you so much, so much, and I can’t wait to be with you. I’m so excited.”

The tour will hit 33 cities — including Toronto, Atlantic City, Detroit and Atlanta — across North America beginning on April 14 in Hollywood, Florida.

Rapper Ludacris will be joining her as her opening act and tickets for the show will go on sale starting Dec. 16.

The tour is named after a song from her 1997 album “The Velvet Rope.”

“The Velvet Rope,” involved themes such same-sex relationships, BDSM, domestic violence and family trauma.

Want to see Janet Jackson live? Her tour calendar with links to buy tickets is here.

“I don’t think [my fans] were expecting it at all because it was completely different from the stuff I had done in the past,” she  told the New Zealand Herald  of the album this past October. “I think it did catch them truly off guard, but … it’s something that I really needed to do for me.”

The LP was a commercial and critical success back in the 1990s, debuting at No. 1 in the US and sold over 4 million copies worldwide.

The Grammy winner also recently paid tribute to her 1986 “Control” album cover at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony last month.

Jackson channeled her retro look by rocking an all-black Christian Siriano outfit. The “Poetic Justice” actress sported a high-collared black-buttoned jacket and matching wide-leg pants. She even wore a wild and curly hairdo similar to her cover.

Siriano, 37, even called Jackson his “ muse ” earlier this year, telling Page Six: “Janet is the most elegant, chic… these new celebs — don’t even start with me — [Janet] is so lovely, thanking me every day. I’m like, ‘You are Janet Jackson. I will make you anything.’

“She’s so lovely and amazing — to post on Instagram and tag me and support me was just so nice. I dress a lot of people and they don’t always do that,” the “Project Runway” alum added.

‘Sheinelle, don’t get weird’: Janet Jackson bonds with a ‘Today’ host superfan

When Janet Jackson showed up Friday on ‘Today,’ she likely didn’t expect the outpouring of admiration that came from superfan host Sheinelle Jones.

Dec. 16, 2022

During Jackson’s encore performance of “Together Again,”Jones joined her onstage. The “That’s the Way Love Goes” artist extended an invitation for the broadcast journalist to be one of her backup dancers for the day after Jones channeled Jackson for the 2019 Halloween episode of NBC’s “Today” show.

“I would love for you to join me,” Jackson told Jones a few months ago while promoting her tour on the morning program. “You should.”

Fast-forward to this weekend, when Jackson gave Jones a backstage tour and a rare interview reflecting on her life, career and upcoming documentary, which will include footage from the Together Again tour.

“Maybe it’s because I’m not as shy as I used to be,” Jackson said of her decision to document this phase of her journey. “I’m a little bit more open to sharing more in my life than I ever did before.”

The Hollywood Bowl 2023 lineup includes Janet Jackson, Culture Club and movies galore

The Los Angeles Philharmonic announced the Hollywood Bowl’s 2023 season lineup on Tuesday, including opening night with Janet Jackson, a Beach Boys fireworks spectacular, a 90th birthday tribute to Quincy Jones and more.

Feb. 7, 2023

After practicing for hours with Jackson’s backup dancers and alone in her hotel room, Jones performed a short routine to the tune of “Together Again” alongside her idol at the Hard Rock Live.

“Last night I kept trying to find the place between being out of my body and trying to stay in my body and actually get on that stage,” Jones said Monday on “Today.”

“When I was in high school, I had pictures of news anchors on one wall, and then I had pictures of Janet Jackson on another ... and when I was in seventh grade, I would make up dances to Janet. And so to be on that stage last night, it was ... surreal.”

Jackson’s Together Again tour encompasses more than 30 cities across the United States and Canada, including five stops in California. The veteran musician is scheduled to come to Irvine, Los Angeles, San Diego, Highland and Mountain View in June.

On June 10, Jackson will headline opening night of the Hollywood Bowl’s 2023 season with support from Ludacris and members of the Los Angeles Philharmonic’s youth orchestra.
