Janet Jackson’s Latest Tour Breaks Records, Raking in $51M and Selling 479K Tickets
Janet Jackson, the renowned pop icon and five-time Grammy winner, has achieved yet another milestone in her illustrious career. Her latest concert tour, named after her 1997 hit song “Together Again,” has shattered all her previous touring records, amassing an impressive $51 million in revenue from 479,000 tickets sold since April.
According to Billboard Boxscore, this 10th concert tour has proven to be Jackson’s most successful and lucrative venture to date. The tour surpassed the success of her 73-date “All for You Tour” from 2001-2002, thanks in part to her remarkable two-night performance at Madison Square Garden in Manhattan, which grossed $3.8 million on May 8-9.
Fans of the R&B diva reportedly paid an average of $106.13 per ticket, which was 7% lower than her 81-date “Number Ones, Up Close and Personal World Tour” in 2011, but 15% higher than her 16-date “Rock Witchu Tour” in 2008.
Under the creative direction of Gil Duldulao, Janet Jackson’s tour featured two choreographers, four male backup dancers, and five musicians. The talented team worked diligently to deliver a captivating and unforgettable experience for the audience.
Expressing her excitement and gratitude, the 57-year-old mezzo-soprano artist, who boasts a staggering 21.6 million social media followers, declared, “I know I’ve said this, but I’ll say it again: This is the most fun I’ve had on any tour since my first [Rhythm Nation World Tour 1990]. A huge reason for that is all of [the crew]. Thank you so much for your hard work and dedication. I am incredibly grateful.”
During the world premiere of “Mission: Impossible — Dead Reckoning Part One” in Rome on June 19, Janet Jackson received high praise from her close friend Tom Cruise. The Hollywood superstar referred to her as a legend, solidifying her status as an iconic figure in the music industry.
Janet Jackson’s unwavering talent and continued success make her a true force to be reckoned with in the world of music and entertainment. Her latest achievements on her “Together Again” tour only serve to reaffirm her status as a global superstar and a beloved icon among fans worldwide.
