Grammy-winning, multi-platinum recording pop megastar Janet Jackson has announced a third leg to her Unbreakable World Tour. Jackson has even added a few new dates to the first and second legs of the tour as well.
The tour will help support the female pop icon’s upcoming 11th studio album Unbreakable, to be released on Oct. 2.
Leg one of the Unbreakable Tour started off in Vancouver, B.C., on Aug. 31, at the Rogers Arena and will conclude in Honolulu, Hawaii, at the Neil S. Blaisdell Center on Nov. 12.
Unbreakable will resume after the holiday season on Jan. 12, 2016, at the Moda Center in Portland, Oregon. The second leg of the tour will then wrap up on March 9 at the BB&T Center in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
Unbreakable then returns after a spring break for a third leg of the touring cycle that will begin on May 19, in Concord, California, at the Concord Pavilion and will come to a halt on June 25 at Nikon at Jones Beach Amphitheatre in Wantagh.
Unbreakable will stop in over 80 different cities, with around 30 shows or more per leg. Even a few more dates have been added to the first two legs of the tour.
Besides Wantagh, New York will get to experience one of the greatest pop stars of our time perform live in Brooklyn at the Barclays Center on Feb. 22 and in Rochester at the Blue Cross Arena on June 15.
Like her legendary brother, “The King of Pop” Michael Jackson, the “Queen of Pop” is known for more than her flashy choreographed dance moves. In 2008, Jackson was ranked by Billboard magazine as the ninth most successful act in rock and roll history. Janet is also the second most successful female artist in pop music history.
Jackson is the only female artist in history to have 18 consecutive top ten hit singles on the Hot 100 charts. Between 1985-2004, Janet saw 33 consecutive top 40 hits on the Billboard charts. Twenty seven of those hits reached the top 10 while 15 of those hits reached #1.
Jackson has won the most Billboard Music Awards in history, with 33 awards. In 2014, Jackson was voted the “Queen of Pop” by a VH1 online poll.
