Janet Jackson plans to take her show back on the road. Today (Dec. 12), the five-time Grammy Award-winning Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee announced on Instagram that she’s going on tour.
“I’m going back on tour and, yes, we will be together again, very, very soon, and that’s the actual name of the tour,” she joyfully said. “I miss you guys so much and I cannot wait to see you. We are all so excited. It’s going to be so much fun.”
The “Together Again Tour” will stop in 33 cities starting on April 14 in Hollywood, Fla. at the Hard Rock Live Arena and ending on June 21 in Seattle at the Climate Pledge Arena.
The R&B pop icon also revealed she’s coming out with new music, and that she’s bringing the three-time Grammy Award-winning recording artist and “Fast and Furious” actor Ludacris to join as her special guest.
“Yes, there will be new music,” she said before closing out the video.
