The tour flyer says Jackson will also give the fans a special Rhythm Nation performance. The announcement comes 30 years after her iconic world tour. Jackson previously performed 11 shows in the United States and Australia for the official 30th-anniversary tour between September 14 and November 23, 2019. Before that, Jackson launched the State of the WorldTour after her 11th studio album, Unbreakable.
The original Rhythm Nation tour grossed over $28 million in North America alone.
