Janet Jackson Extends State Of The World Tour; Texas Date Added

NEW YORK (AP) — Janet Jackson is extending her uber-successful tour with more shows.

The pop icon says her State of the World Tour, which originally wrapped in December, will kick off new dates July 11 in Austin, Texas. Dates have also been added in Rogers, Arkansas; Cincinnati; Syracuse, New York; Hersey, Pennsylvania; Saratoga Springs, New York; Virginia Beach, Virginia; Raleigh; Charlotte; Miami; and Tampa.

Tickets for the new dates go on sale Tuesday.

Jackson's State of the World Tour, which toured United States and Canada, was a critically acclaimed success. The first leg of that tour included a stop in Dallas in September of 2017.

The singer will also play a number of music festivals this summer, including Essence, FYF, Panorama and Outside Lands.
