The tour will feature many of her hit songs and innovative dance routines that have made her one of the most celebrated artists in history.

Jackson has left an indelible mark on pop music selling more than 100 million albums and as a female artist having achieved the number one spot on Billboard Magazine’s Top 200 Album Chart six times, is among the top three of all time for a female artist. She is the only performer, male or female, to be nominated for Grammy Awards in each of the Pop, Rock, Dance, Rap and R&B categories, and the first female recording artist of color to be nominated for a Producer of the Year Grammy.
