Janet Jackson canceled a massive run of North American and European shows last year when she and her husband, Wissam Al Mana, decided to have a baby. It was the second hit the tour behind 2015’s Unbreakable had taken, as she’d postponed the start of the trek just a few months earlier. Though unfortunately Jackson has since separated from Al Mana, the baby has been born, and the pop icon has finally rescheduled her tour dates for the fall.

Retitled “The State of the World Tour”, the new schedule will see Ms. Jackson stopping at 56 (!) cities in the United States and Canada. The new itinerary includes a bunch of additional dates alongside the rescheduled ones, including the opening September 7th show in Lafayette, Louisiana. Tickets to concerts that have been rescheduled will still be honored, while tickets to the new shows go on sale May 5th.
Even more good news for fans: A press release promises Jackson will be performing “soon-to-be released new tracks” on the tour, meaning fresh music is on its way.
