Janet Jackson Announces First Tour in Seven Years
Posted May 20, 2008 
Pop icon Janet Jackson has announced she will be hitting the road for a North American tour - her first in seven years. The singer/actress will open her "Rock Witchu" tour in Vancouver, British Columbia on September 7, 2008, followed by dates in New York and Washington, D.C.
Jackson, who released her latest album Discipline earlier this year, says she "can’t wait" to perform to arena audiences. The music vet says she was all set to tour in support of her 2006 record 20 Y.O., but was advised against it by her record company despite having already spent time preparing the shows.
"I was supposed to go on tour with the last album. We were actually in full-blown tour rehearsals at that point… learning numbers, getting everything together," she explains. "I had to kind of shut everything down and go into the studio."
The full itinerary of shows will be announced shortly, according to concert promoter Live Nation.
