Janet Jackson Reschedules Canceled 2016 Tour

By Hayden Wright

(RADIO.COM) – Janet Jackson is returning to the road! Last year, Janet canceled the remainder of her Unbreakable tour to focus on her growing family. At the time, Jackson had announced her pregnancy and already canceled the European leg with the promise to reschedule as soon as she could. Janet gave birth to her first son at the beginning of this year.

On Monday, a countdown clock on her website promised big news — at 9:00pm EDT, Janet dropped a video message to fans and revealed 55 American tour dates starting in September. The 55-date tour has been rechristened the State of the World Tour and kicks off September 7 in Lafayette, Louisiana.

The tour will bring Ms. Jackson to Reno, Nevada on October 1st, the Golden 1 Center in Sacramento on the 3rd and to the Concord Pavilion on October 5th.

Despite the tour's title, Janet promises it's "not about politics. It's about people, the world, relationships, and just love."
