An Australian tour has been confirmed for Janet Jackson this year as part of her world Number Ones: Up Close and Personal Tour.
The singer will perform in Perth, Adelaide, Melbourne, Gold Coast and Sydney through October and November with two dates confirmed in anticipation for fans in Melbourne and Sydney.
Tickets go on sale Wednesday August 3.
The tour comes after fans submitted suggestions on janetjackson.com as to where she should tour next.
"I thank my fans and who have voted and helped me choose the Australian cities,” she said.
Jackson says the tour will be different from her previous concert schedules as she will choose her set list exclusively from her 35 track, Number Ones album. Each Australian date will see the Together Again singer offer something different, keeping each concert unique.
"These concerts will be different to anything I have ever done. I will be up close and personal as possible. These concerts are not about special effects. This is a love affair between me and those of you who have supported me and my work all these years,” she said.
Jackson also asks her fans to contact her through janetjackson.com and tell her who they think is making a difference in their community. In each city she wants to meet 20 “young leaders” under 20-years-old who her fans have nominated. The 20 winners and their 20 sponsors will be VIP guests at the show and welcomed backstage where Jackson will “learn from them.”
“You all know someone who is making a difference, so get in touch. I love you all and I can’t wait to be back on stage, I’ve missed you,” she said.
