Last month we learned that Janet Jackson will be embarking on a 35 city world tour next year in celebration of her 35 Number One songs and today we get our first look at the poster artwork for Janet‘s new tour. Jackson is letting fans around the world determine the cities she will visit on tour and Hong Kong has been chosen as the site of the Valentine’s Day concert:
Look out, world: Janet Jackson is coming to a city near you. The legendary pop star has announced her largest-ever world tour to celebrate her 35 chart-topping hits in 35 different cities across the world. Hong Kong has been voted by fans as the kick-off city, where she will perform tracks exclusively from her greatest hits collection Number Ones. The Rhythm Nation leader will launch the tour at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre on February 14, with subsequent dates to be announced soon. “The fans really reached out and voted for Hong Kong to be the Valentine’s Day city of our Number Ones tour. I am thrilled to receive your votes and I will be performing in Hong Kong Feb 14, 2011!” wrote Janet on her website. Ahead of the tour’s start, Janet will be celebrating the release of her upcoming book True You, hitting stores February 8. The singer’s first book will take readers into her lifelong struggle with weight and exercise, meant to inspire those who need to improve their self-esteem.
As you may recall, Janet promised that she will dedicate one of her 35 Number One songs to each of the 35 cities she will visit … so each concert will be special and unique. I’ve never seen Janet Jackson live in concert and David is a HUGE JJ fan so we are deffo planning to see her when she performs here in SoCal (because, undoubtedly, Janet will play a concert in SoCal). Her tour kicks off in only 2 short months … are y’all ready?

Oh man! I hope she comes to Chicago! Janet’s Rhythm Nation tour was the first concert I ever went to! I was ten and it was AWESOME!
Only sucky part is that my mom made me wear this sailor suit she’d bought me for my birthday and I felt like th biggest baby. Especially since I was with my older cousin and his friends. Plus, I couldn’t sit down on the lawn because mom said if I got grass stains on those horrible white shorts, I’d be in trouble. WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT TO ME, MOM!?!
@JHop — I DEMAND A PHOTO!!!!
@Trent – HaHa! Do you think I allowed photos to be taken? If it helps, picture a ten year old black girl doing the “Miss You Much” choreography dressed like some sort of Urban Shirley Temple.
To my mother’s credit (she isn’t a total monster), she hand made me a Rhythm Nation costume for that Halloween, complete with a giant key earring made from the key to our cold storage room and a paper clip.
janet doing a concert and it’s her number ones *swoons and faints* I MUST get tickets for this. I need dates and cities like yesterday.
