LOS ANGELES, Sept. 10, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Demand for Janet's
Jackson's UNBREAKABLE WORLD TOUR continues at an
unprecedented pace. The recent BET Awards' Ultimate Icon honoree,
multiple GRAMMY® Award-winner and multi-platinum selling artist
announced a 3rd North American leg to her UNBREAKABLE WORLD
TOUR adding 22 new dates across both the U.S. and
Canada starting in Summer 2016.
New dates have also been added on the tour's 1st and 2nd leg
including Hartford, CT at the
XL Center on Feb. 27.
The 3rd leg of the North American tour will kick off on
May 19, 2016 in Concord, CA and will visit 22 cities
including dates in Austin,
Birmingham, Little Rock, Montreal, Atlantic
City, Hershey and more! A full list of tour dates on the
UNBREAKABLE WORLD TOUR is below.
All dates on the tour are being co-produced by Miss Jackson's Rhythm Nation. In addition
to Live Nation and Rhythm Nation, other concert promoters
include Nederlander Concerts, Jam Productions, Another Planet
Entertainment, and such promoters as Bamp and Tommy Meharey. Additional worldwide concerts
will be announced at a later date.
American Express® Card Members and fans who pre-order the album
can purchase tickets before the general public
beginning Monday, Sept. 14 at 10:00 a.m. local
through Friday, Sept. 18 at 10:00 p.m. local. Fans who
pre-order the album before Friday, Sept.
18 at 10:00 p.m. can buy
tickets early at janetjackson.com. Tickets for the general
public go on sale on Saturday, Sept.
19 at 10:00 a.m. at
janetjackson.com. Recently, JANET changed forever the way
music owners experience her concerts. Music owners receive a
special code giving them VIP ticket access, eligibility for
backstage views, private glimpses of JANET's awards, memorabilia,
costumes and never before seen private photographs as well as the
opportunity to get private messages to JANET before and after each
show. This unprecedented access to the live event has never been
attempted for music owners, who in JANET's eyes are extraordinary,
generous and loving. There will be more surprises for people who
own JANET's music. There will be "No Sleeep" until she sees
you in your city.
The UNBREAKABLE WORLD TOUR kicked off on Aug. 31 in Vancouver,
BC and includes nearly 90 stops in cities such as
Los Angeles, Las Vegas, Atlanta, Nashville, Cincinnati and San
Diego. In their review from opening night, the
New York Times says Janet is "an
enduring influence across Pop and R&B" and "Her Unbreakable
tour touched on as many hits as possible, grouping the songs by
persona and tempo. She was the woman taking charge (funk), the
joyfully loyal lover (upbeat pop), the ballad singer, the woman
left lonely (midtempo R&B), the party girl (dance-club beats),
the rocker (with guitar up front) and, in the end, the
idealist." USA Today
says "Janet Jackson kicked off her
Unbreakable tour with a superhuman performance" and "Janet
slays..."; Rolling Stone hails Janet's performance as
"Propulsive," and Vibe as "Flawless," also adding that the
Queen of Pop has "...begun her global takeover."
Janet and the UNBREAKABLE WORLD TOUR were trending both
on Twitter and Facebook throughout the day following the tour's
opening night with fans quickly setting social media on fire upon
seeing the first images from the tour and hearing some of the new
music including a scorching song, "Burn It Up," with hip-hop
innovator, Missy Elliot. The song
was produced by long time Janet collaborators, Jimmy Jam and
Terry Lewis, and will be featured on
her forthcoming album, Unbreakable, due this Fall.
The album has already been celebrated by critics, with
Entertainment Weekly calling it "Powerful," Rolling
Stone referring to it as "Soulful," and the New York Times exclaiming "Janet Jackson's Unbreakable is Right On
Time."
The first single from the new album, "No
Sleeep," entered the Top Ten on the Urban AC and
Billboard Hot R&B Songs charts only two weeks after
being released. This week, nearly 10 weeks after its release, the
song, now featuring J. Cole is enjoying its third week at the #1
spot on Billboard's Adult R&B chart.
Janet Jackson, iconic
music artist, multi-award-winning songwriter, producer, singer,
Oscar and Golden Globe nominee and winner of the NAACP Best
Sporting Actor award, publisher, choreographer, dancer, Number One
New York Times Best Selling Author, businessperson, and
philanthropist, is one of the biggest-selling, most influential
artists in popular music history. Having won 6 GRAMMY® Awards,
along with dozens of American Music Awards, MTV Video Music Awards,
BET honors, and Billboard Music Awards, Janet Jackson stands as one of the most
prolific artists of all time with a string of hits that have left
an indelible impression on pop culture. With sales of over 160
million records worldwide, her music and artistry have opened doors
through which other top artists have followed, while acknowledging
her impact on their musical perceptions.
